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

The Challenge:

Camping on the Oregon Coast is a fun year-round experience. People enjoy getting away and spending time in nature. Many will combine camping with dunes recreation like riding quads, hiking, and horseback riding. Camping is a great activity for family and friends.

To meet the requirements of this challenge, you must find at least one cache with each of these camping-related attributes that depict things you may need, want, and plan for when camping. You may only count one cache per attribute, so you need to find 15 caches to meet this challenge. The caches can be found in any geographic location.

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.
