Geocache Description:


This cache IS hidden at the posted coordinates!

---

During the summer of 2023, I was fortunate enough to go on a geocaching road trip with my son, daughter-in-law and grandson all the way from Missouri to Pennsylvania. We found a lot of wonderful caches along the way; oldies, lab caches, virtuals and even some letterboxes.  But there were a whole bunch that I wasn't eligible to log: Challenge Caches. You see, I don't have a lot of caching finds. I am working on it though ;-) Still, I kept hoping that there'd be challenges that a beginner like me would be able to log. So with the encouragement and help from my grandson, we decided to hide some along the wonderful Harrisburg Greenbelt. With the permission from the Susquehanna Twp. Parks Department, of course.

In order to hide a Challenge Cache you yourself have to qualify, so I'm hoping that cachers of all experience levels will be able to log these finds. The Difficulty level reflects the challenge difficulty (and find difficulty if you choose to use the attached spoiler picture) while the Terrain level is indicative of the physical challenge you'll be facing.

------

This is a challenge cache; you must meet the requirements in order to log a find. There's probably a 99% chance that you do but there's a checker way below just in case. OK, now how do you qualify for this challenge? 

Anyone who knows me knows I am a POSITIVE person. Who else would hide five challenge caches for beginning searchers?

So to qualify you need to have found caches with 33 different positive Attributes. Of my 93 finds at the time of cache publication I have collected 42 positive attributes. You probably have a lot more. And, hopefully, one day I will have all 70! My grandson helped me with this hide and that's him pointing the the cache in the spoiler pic. This terrain could be quite difficult indeed in winter, fall, summer and spring alike.
