Geocache Description:


Container Challenge - Powers of 3 - Rolley Lake Challenge Series

 

This is a Challenge cache. It is indeed hidden at it's posted coordinates. In order to log it, you must physically sign the log and I'll check for a successful run on the Challenge checker below (Thanks to Hügh for creating it!).

 

There are 7 types of containers listed on your statistics page based on size and type: micro, small, regular, large, virtual, not chosen, and other... Your challenge, should you chose to accept it, is to find all of these container types. But not just one of each kind... You will need a minimum of 3,279 caches to qualify for this cache. And they will have to be of the appropriate amounts, in powers of 3:

Your most frequently found cache size must have at least 2187 finds = 7 powers
(2187 = 37 = 3*3*3*3*3*3*3)

Your next most frequently found cache size must have at least 729 finds = 6 powers
(729 = 36 = 3*3*3*3*3*3)

Your third most frequently found cache size must have at least 243 finds = 5 powers
(243 = 35 = 3*3*3*3*3).

Your fourth-most frequently found cache size must have at least 81 finds = 4 powers
(81 = 34 = 3*3*3*3).

Your fifth-most frequently found cache size must have at least 27 finds = 3 powers
(27 = 33 = 3*3*3).

Your sixth-most frequently found cache size must have at least 9 finds = 2 powers
(9 = 32 = 3*3).

Your seventh-most frequently found cache size must have at least 3 finds = 1 power
(3 = 31= 3).

 

It doesn't matter which order of sizes you use for your totals. I have the most smaller containers, but you may have more micros. As long as your numbers are in powers of three, you're good to go!

 

PGC Checker

 

I appreciate if you only post:

1) Found it - when you physically sign the cache AND you qualify

2) Write Note - when you physically sign the cache BUT you're still working on it.

Enthusiasm for qualifying is nice, but I request you don't post it on the page. If you do qualify, great, save it for a caching day. If you're never going to get there, really no need to plug up the cache page with extra logs. Thanks.

 

This cache is found in the new "Rolley Lake Challenge Alley".- a group collaboration to make some Challenges a little more accessible for those who don't wish to hike up to Burke Mountain or Sumas Mountain... The cache is a log only container - camoflagued pill bottle. GPSr was jumpy here, please rely on the hint to help guide you to the cache. Enjoy!
