Geocache Description:


“Are you a nemophilist?”

 

I am hoping this one pushes a few of you to go that extra mile, literally and figuratively.  I used to be more of a "numbers guy", grabbing some pretty sorry caches for the thrill of seeing how many I could get in a day, month, year...This one is designed to reward you for finding caches that slow you down and get you to appreciate nature a bit more.  Here are the requirements:

  • Agility - there's plenty of rock-scrambling and a challenging approach to GZ so you must have found at least 40 caches with a terrain rating of 4 stars.

  • Endurance - this is more than just a walk in the park so you must have found at least 20 caches with the Significant Hike attribute.

  • Sure-footedness - one false step could end in disaster so you must have found at least 50 caches with the Cliffs/Falling Rocks attribute.

  • Watchfulness - Geocaching involves areas with some deadly critters so you must have found at least 50 caches with the Dangerous Animals attribute.

  • Awe - as a nemophilist, you delight in nature's beauty so you must have found at least 100 caches with the Scenic View attribute.

The same cache can be used to satisfy multiple requirements if it has several of the required ratings/attributes. Attendance at events with those ratings/attributes also count as finds. Use the checker below to see if you meet the qualification. You may only log a find on this challenge cache if you've both signed the logbook in the physical cache and met all the qualification requirements. There's no need to list your finds for each qualification; if the checker says you're good, you're good!
