Geocache Description:


This is a challenge cache located at the posted coordinates near the K3 loop trail at Kodels Canyon.

You must have met the challenge before you log this cache as found. This challenge is based on challenge caches GC50F85 and GC3BME0.

In the Fibonacci sequence, each number is the sum of the previous two numbers: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377…

The challenge: You must have found at least 11 different types of caches that are counted in project-gc. The number of caches of each type must get you to at least the 11th number in the sequence. If you list your number of finds of each cache type in ascending order, each number must match or exceed the corresponding number in the Fibonacci sequence. (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89). Cache types Traditional, Unknown, Multi-cache, Letterbox Hybrid, Earthcache, Virtual, Webcam, Wherigo, Event, Mega-Event, CITO Event, Lost-and-Found Event, Project APE, Groundspeak HQ, Groundspeak Block Party, Groundspeak Lost and Found and Community Celebration Events, GPS Adventures Exhibit, and Locationless are currently allowed. Each cache type can be used only once. In the Fibonacci icon challenges, the "level" you achieve is the number of entries in the Fibonacci sequence you meet or exceed. This challenge is for Level 11.

PGC Checker

The diffculty listed is for the challenge; the hide is not particularly difficult.

Again, to qualify for this challenge, you need to achieve at least Level 11.
