Geocache Description:


Welcome to Duffins Creek.    If you are up for a paddle, you may also be interested in looking for some well hidden and perhaps some obviously hidden challenge caches.

All of these challenge caches are at the posted coordinates.  I have included the coordinates for the boat launch at Rotary Park which includes parking.  There is no place to put in north of this location as the creek gets very shallow north of Bayly St.

In order to log a find, you will need to meet the logging requirements set out below, find and sign in on the cache.  Please bring your own writing instrument and replace the caches as you found them. 

Background information-  The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, starting with 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, ….

Challenge: This challenge requires you to find a minimum of 9 different unique cache types and the count of these finds will need to equal or exceed a corresponding Fibonacci Number in the following sequence   2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89

You can use any of the following cache type icons in any order to qualify

Traditional Cache

Multi Cache

Unknown Cache

Earthcache

Virtual Cache

Letterbox Hybrid

Wherigo Cache

Event Cache 

Cache in Trash Out event

Webcam Cache

 

 

The Rules

3. Logged finds that do not qualify will be deleted.
