Geocache Description:


This cache is at the posted coordinates but in order to log it as found you have to meet the challenge requirements. Difficulty rating reflects the difficulty of completing the challenge and not the hide.

Are you a local? It's a seemingly simple question but sometimes it's not that simple to answer it. In some places they say: "To really be a local, you have either to be born or to die here." Some might be joking when they say it but some might mean it.

Are you a local cacher? Well, if you weren't born in South Island, then here is a cemetery that you can choose to be buried in. OK, I am definitely joking. Let's just say, if you are eligible to log this challenge, you are definitely a South Island local!

The rules are simple: To log your find, you have to have found at least one geocache or attended an event in Te Waipounamu o Aotearoa, on every of the 365 calendar days of the year (excluding Feb 29th). You get the honorary "super local" title if you have all the 366 days but that is optional for this challenge.

You can check your progress on Project-GC's Needed found dates tool (only accessible to PGC subscribers) or by using the provided challenge checker.

Please paste the output from the challenge checker, or a screenshot with the completed calendar to your log as proof. Any Found It logs without either of these may be deleted.
