The SF2021 - Spring Fling Geocaches were placed for the 2021 Calgary Spring Fling Geocache Release to encourage cachers to hit the caching trail and either find or hide a few caches. This cache has been placed for the 2021 Calgary Spring Fling Geocache Release with the intention that it be found during the two week Geocache Release beginning at 8:00 am MST on Saturday, March 13th, 2021 through Sunday, March 28th, 2021.
The 2021 Spring Fling Geocaching Release will be a simple hunt for geocaches as we're waiting for the coming of Spring. Come on out and join us to celebrate the hopeful coming of warmer weather.
This cache is at the posted coordinates.
Background
Welcome to my series of odd and miscellaneous challenges.
Inspired by another series of Power of 2 challenges in the area, I thought I would apply the same theme to a different aspect of geocaching.
The Challenge
To qualify for this challenge, you must find 511 caches from all the different Difficulty and Terrain levels that meet the following criteria:
The Requirements
In other words, you must find at least
1 (=20) cache with a difficulty of 5.0
2 (=21) caches with a difficulty of 4.5
4 (=22) caches with a difficulty of 4.0
8 (=23) caches with a difficulty of 3.5
16 (=24) caches with a difficulty of 3.0
32 (=25) caches with a difficulty of 2.5
64 (=26) caches with a difficulty of 2.0
128 (=27) caches with a difficulty of 1.5
256 (=28) caches with a difficulty of 1.0
1 (=20) cache with a terrain of 5.0
2 (=21) caches with a terrain of 4.5
4 (=22) caches with a terrain of 4.0
8 (=23) caches with a terrain of 3.5
16 (=24) caches with a terrain of 3.0
32 (=25) caches with a terrain of 2.5
64 (=26) caches with a terrain of 2.0
128 (=27) caches with a terrain of 1.5
256 (=28) caches with a terrain of 1.0
Interestingly it appears that it's actually the D1.0 and T1.0 caches that seem to be harder to come by for this challenge, because of their porportional higher totals needed for this challenge. There's a LOT of D1.5 and T1.5 caches out there though.
A couple more things about the challenge to be aware of:
- Your D/T (aka Fizzy) grid does NOT have to completed in for the challenge. This challenge is only interested in the totals at the bottom and at the right side of the D/T grid.
- All cache types except adventure lab caches and benchmarks can be used for this challenge.
- Past finds count. Any caches that you have found and have been archived or disabled after you have found them can be used for this challenge if it meets the criteria.
The fine print
CO reserves the right to make any changes to this challenge if any issues or ambiguities are discovered. CO will be fair but has the final say on any events, caches, finds, or logs that are questionable. CO reserves the right to delete any logs if problems are found.
Finding This Cache
Do NOT access this cache from Highway 2. Please use the nearby service road instead.
Please remember to be respectful of the cache location. Be aware of how and where the cache is "attached" so that it can be put back in exactly the same way and in the same place for the next person(s) to enjoy. Only the "inner" portion of the cache needs to be removed to log the cache. The container may not be accessible during the winter months.
Logging This Cache
As with any challenge caches, you are welcome to physically sign the log for this cache and log it as "Write Note" if you haven't met the challenge's requirements yet. Please bring your own pen(cil)/writing instrument to sign the log.
Please use this Project-GC challenge checker below to verify if you have qualified for this challenge.
You can only log a "Found It" entry online after you've completed the challenge and signed the log. All non-qualifying "Found It" logs will be deleted without notice.
Similar Challenge Caches
Whether you qualify for this challenge or not, you may also qualify for these other challenges.
If you know of any other caches similar to this challenge or if you want to replicate this challenge in your area, please let me know and I will add those caches here so that other cachers can be aware.
