Geocache Description:


This cache IS at the posted coordinates!  This is a challenge cache.  You may sign the log at any time, but you must meet the requirements of this challenge to log it as a "Find."  If you don't meet the requirements yet you may write a note on the cache page to record when you signed the physical logbook then log it as found when you achieve the requirements. 

 

The Challenge:

Oregon has several neighboring friend states, and those states have their own neighboring friend states.

To meet the requirements of this challenge, you must find at least one cache in Oregon, and at least one cache in all of the states that border Oregon as well as the states that border the states that border Oregon.

This includes: 

Washington, California, Idaho, Nevada, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, and Arizona.

 

Any cache type counts toward meeting this challenge.

 

You can use the checker from Project-GC to verify that you qualify for this cache.

PGC Checker

 

Please observe the park hours and only search for this cache between 6 am and 10 pm.

Congrats to cwdxer on being FTF!

 

What is a Challenge Cache?

A "Challenge Cache" is a special type of mystery/unknown cache. In addition to finding the cache and signing the log, there are also some requirements that must be met in order to claim the cache as a find.  These requirements are unique for each challenge and are described in the cache description.

Challenge caches have some features that help define them. These include:

  • The cache type is always Unknown/Mystery
  • The cache is at the posted coordinates or the actual coordinates are a visible waypoint**
  • The cache has the word "Challenge" in the title**
  • There is a Project-GC challenge checker available so you can easily determine if you qualify for the challenge**

**Note: these are requirements for all challenge caches hidden after April 21, 2015. There are some older challenge caches that may be grandfathered and do not meet these criteria.
