Geocache Description:


This cache is at the posted coordinates.

Background

Welcome to my series of odd and miscellaneous challenges.

Like our challenge cache that pays homage to the Calgary Stampede, we wanted to find some way to celebrate Team Canada and the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.

Canada

The most obvious choice would have been a challenge based on the Available in winter Available in Winter attribute, but that seemed too generic. And there is no such thing as a Hockey Hockey attribute unfortunately. How Canadian would that be though? :-) We realized we had to be more creative to come up with a challenge. The only attribute that seems to be related to a Winter Olympics event is the May require cross country skis May require cross country skis attribute but that looked too simple so we of course decided to add a twist.

The Challenge

To qualify for this challenge, you must find enough caches to have a total of

  • 20 Hunting area & 22 May require cross country skis attributes, or
  • 20 May require cross country skis & 22 Hunting area attributes

These two attributes together, Hunting area Hunting area and May require cross country skis May require cross country skis, look like the perfect characteristics for the Biathlon event at the 2022 Winter Olympics.

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.
  • If a cache has both attributes, it can be considered for both criteria.
  • In the past, it was possible to log your own caches. These caches are not allowed 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 Any caches that you have found and have been archived or disabled after you have found them can be used for this challenge if it meets the criteria.
Oh Canada

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.

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.
