Have you filled all of the lowest nine squares in your D/T grid with at least two finds in each? You know, a 1/1, 1/1.5, 1/2, 1.5/1, 1.5/1.5,1.5/2, etc. If so, congratulations. You qualify for this Challenge Cache!
This cache is at the posted coordinates, however, you must qualify to claim the find. A checker is provided to easily allow you to check your stats to see if you do. The difficulty is low because it's easy to qualify - you don't need a bazillion smiley faces in your stats. The terrain is a bit higher because its not a Park & Grab or Cache & Dash. IT IS NOT AVAILABLE FROM POST OR CROTON ROADS. SERIOUSLY, ITS NOT WORTH THE BUSHWHACK. YOU MUST ACCESS IT FROM INSIDE WICKHAM PARK. It's a bit of a hike from the nearest parking area, but there is plenty of nature to enjoy and lots of other geocaches along the way.
So Challenge Caches have sorta become a thing over the past few years. So much so that Groundspeak had to put a moritorium on new ones until consistent rules could be developed. There were some really difficult Challenge Caches placed before.
This is an easy one to let newer Geocachers taste the thrill of victory when their previous finds qualify them to claim the "Found It" by meeting the requirements of the Challenge Cache. But let me warn you...Challenge Caches can become additcting, sending you on nearly impossible missions seeking out caches that will eventually, maybe years down the Geocaching Highway of Life, qualify you for that illusive smiley face.
Have fun and enjoy!
