Geocache Description:


This cache is at the posted coordinates.

Background

Welcome to my series of odd and miscellaneous challenges.

After discovering the idea behind the 250 D/T/T Challenge Olio #5 I came up with the idea for a "sibling" challenge.  That other D/T/T Challenge was based on finding caches with 250 different Difficulty/Terrain/Cache Type combinations. For this challenge, I've replaced Cache Type with Cache Size aka container types.

The Challenge

This challenge takes the D/T (Difficulty/Terrain levels) matrix challenge and adds another dimension to it - Cache Size, hence this challenge's name - D/T/S.  As you may already be aware, there are a total of 81 Difficulty/Terrain combinations (eg. 1.0/1.0, 1.5/1.5 all the way to 5.0/5.0).  Now, multiply that number by the all possible cache sizes out there (7 of them including Micro, Small, Regular, Large, Other, Virtual, and Not Chosen) and there is a total of (81x7=) 567 D/T/S potential combinations.

To qualify for this challenge, you only need to find caches with 250 of those D/T/S combinations.

The Requirements

Some more things about the challenge to be aware of:

  • All cache types except adventure lab caches and benchmarks can be used for this challenge.
  • Your D/T (aka Fizzy) grid does NOT have to completed in for the challenge, although it certainly doesn't hurt to have it completed. A finished Fizzy automatically gives you almost a third (81/250) of the required 250 combinations.
  • You can not use your own caches for this challenge.  In the past you were able to log your own caches.
  • 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  Any caches that you have found and have been archived or disabled after you have found them can be used for this challenge if it meets the criteria.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. Be sure to pull off the road as much as possible.

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. 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.

PGC Checker

By the way, if you click on any of the icons in the checker results table, it will show you which cache the checker used for that D/T/S combination.

As another tip, the output graphic produced by this checker could be useful for evaluating if you qualify for other challenges as well.

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.
