This is a challenge cache which encourages you to set and achieve fun goals as part of your geocaching adventures. The cache is located at the posted coordinates but you must complete the requirements outlined below in order to log your cache online on geocaching.com. You can, however, sign the physical log and post a note online saying that you are just signing the log but don't qualify yet. The D/T rating is for the challenge; the D/T of the actual cache hide is 1.5/1.5.

Challenge Requirements

Your goal is to find all the below caches types in Powers of Ten:

  1. You will need to find 1000 caches of one of the main available cache types.
  2. You will also need to find 100 caches EACH of at least three other cache types.
  3. You will need to find at least 10 caches EACH of at least five other cache types.
  4. Finally you will need to find at least 1 cache of the remaining type.
  5. A cache type may only be used once.

The allowed cache types are:

  • APE
  • CITO
  • Earthcache
  • Event
  • Geocaching HQ
  • Giga event
  • GPS Maze Adventure
  • Lab (note, you will need to manually calculate your results if using labs because the checker doesn’t account for labs)
  • Letterbox
  • Locationless
  • Mega event
  • Multi
  • Traditional
  • Unknown
  • Virtual
  • Webcam
  • Wherigo

For Example this is my list:

  • (1): Groundspeak HQ
  • (10): Lab Caches
  • (10): Event Caches
  • (10): Webcam Caches
  • (10): Wherigo Caches
  • (10): Earthcache
  • (100): Multi Caches
  • (100): Letterbox Caches
  • (100): Virtual Caches
  • (1000): Unknown Caches

You can mix any of the above cache types in any order, it doesn't have to be exactly like mine. For example you may have 100 virtuals and 100 Earthcaches, yet only have 10 multis and 10 mystery, etc. You are qualified as long as you have 1000 of one cache type, 100 EACH of three cache types, 10 EACH of 5 cache types, and 1 of a cache type.

You can verify if you are eligible to log this challenge online by clicking the Project-GC link below: PGC Checker

 

 

Non-Traditional Cacher Award

A special online acknowledgement will be given to the first 10 qualifying cachers, who have signed the log, who can complete the challenge without using the traditional cache type. Your name will be permanently added to the table above for all to see!

Note, you will need to post your results to your found it log. Project-gc will always take the "easy way" out and use traditionals first so you will need to manually figure out your qualifications if you want to try to avoid using traditionals.
