Geocache Description:


This cache is at the posted coordinates.

Background

Welcome to my series of odd and miscellaneous challenges.

With the introduction of four new attributes by GC.com last year, that got me more curious about attributes in general. As of Nov. 2021, there are 70 positive and 41 negative attributes available though there are rumours of at least one more being introduced soon.

A few of the current attributes are very elusive. For example, the Partnership cache Partnership cache attribute is only listed in 9 caches in the world right now. Then there's the Lost and Found tour Lost and Found tour attribute which can not be found in any active caches today. It was only used for certain 10th anniversary events held in 2010.

There's even some rogue attributes out there. For example, have you ever seen the Cacti present Cacti Present attribute? It's not even listed on GC.com any more but yet there is still one active cache left with that attribute.

The Challenge

As stated above, there are currently 111 attributes on geocaching.com - 70 positive and 41 negative. This challenge requires you to find 5 of every attribute, except for

  • Needs maintenance Needs Maintenance
  • Lost and Found tour Lost and Found tour
  • Partnership cache Partnership cache

That leaves these 108 attributes -

Again, all you have to do is find at least 5 of every one of these attributes to complete this challenge.

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.
  • 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 Any caches that you have found and have been archived or disabled after you have found them can be used for this challenge if it meets the criteria.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 or the on-ramp. 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.

PGC Checker

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.

Missing Attributes

Like the calendar I started in the GC8ZV2Q Event-Full Calendar Challenge Olio #2 - SF2021 cache description, this is a PSA to help out those cachers who haven't completed this challenge yet. I thought it would be useful to consolidate the various attributes that cachers are missing into one infographic. Please feel free to write a note if you are missing specific attributes as well.
Recommended for tourists GeoTour Climbing gear required Wireless beacon Short hike (<1 km)
