Geocache Description:


Welcome to the OCCT (Odenton Cooperative Challenge Trail)!

 

Town Center Boulevard has recently been extended as part of the Odenton Town Center project, so it seemed like a perfect place to start a challenge trail. This trail is a little different in that it will be cooperative, meaning the hides will be done by a variety of cachers. The Odenton Cooperative Challenge Trail has been extended along Blue Water Boulevard. OCCT # 17 is the first challenge cache on this extension.


This cache IS hidden at the posted coordinates!

 



 

This is a challenge cache; you must meet the requirements in order to log a find. You may log a “write note” if found prior to meeting the requirements.

 

Challenge requirement:

You must have found a Mystery cache on all 365 days of the calendar--though your finds do NOT have to have occurred in the same year.  You do not need to find a Mystery cache on Leap Day.  And your finds do not have to be in Maryland; they may be in any state or country.  It's the calendar date that counts!  Use the Project-GC checker to quickly see which dates are "open" on your calendar, and then get started.   It may take you quite some time to qualify for this cache, but persevere!  You CAN accomplish this very difficult goal.  It is not a cake-walk, true; but neither is it a Herculean task.  Good luck--and start solving those puzzles.  The CO had found Mystery caches on only 224 calendar dates when he discovered a similar challenge cache in PA; but he resolved to fill in those remaining 141 dates in one year--and he did it!  You, too, can pull it off in a single year.  Have fun tackling those puzzles!  (And, no, finding THIS challenge cache does NOT count towards your goal--but any OTHER challenge cache could.)
