Background
Welcome to my series of odd and miscellaneous challenges.
This challenge cache and I have quite the history. This was one of the first challenges I planned to publish at the beginning of this Olio series but by the time I wanted to release it, Project-GC changed data sources for elevations. As a result, all of a sudden I no longer qualified for this challenge therefore nullifying my chances of publishing it. Fast forward to almost 2 years later now and I've finally found some other caches to qualify again.
I have to assume that the proliferation of elevation challenges around Calgary is due to our proximity to the mountains. Some people may not be interested in those types of challenge so I thought I offer a different type of elevation challenge, something similar but just the opposite. I'll start out with highest low first, if you know what I mean.
The Challenge
To qualify for this challenge, you must find 5 traditional caches with a total elevation of less than 0m. In other words, when the elevation of your 5 lowest traditional finds are added together, it must be less than sea level i.e. -1m or below.
The Requirements
Some more things about the challenge to be aware of:
- Again, only traditional caches can be used to complete this challenge.
- You can not use your own caches for this challenge. In the past you were able to log your own caches.
- As well, you were also able to log caches multiple times in the past but those caches will only be considered once 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 Any caches that you have found and have been archived or disabled after you have found them can be used for this challenge if it meets the criteria.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 similar challenges as well.
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.
