The cache is at the posted coordinates.
Come take a walk in Kananaskis, and stop for a challenge cache along the way. Expect a bit of a huff 'n puff to start, followed by a rewarding ridge walk.
THE CHALLENGE
Find at least 4 caches types that were hidden on February 29th. You can find the caches on any day of the year, though also finding them on the 29th will earn you 4,029 Bonus Internet Points, redeemable absolutely nowhere (also, not a real thing!).
Use the challenge checker below to verify your completion of this challenge.
THE FINE PRINT
- Only caches hidden on February 29th count towards qualifying. They can be active, disabled, or archived.
- Yes, that's all there is to it!
You can hike up to the cache and sign the logbook in the cache any time you like. But you can't log an online "Found it" until you've both signed the logbook and met the challenge requirements. A screen shot of the output from the checker or copying-and-pasting the top portion of the "Example log" would be helpful but not required; I will check on Project GC myself. If you have blocked your statistics, you must provide suitable alternate proof that you qualify. I will also delete without notice any "Found it" log from any cacher that cannot be verified as meeting the requirements.
The idea for this challenge cache was stolen fair and square from Leap Day Hidden Challenge by Beach Bum Doggies. What a great name!
THE CACHE
The cache is a veteran sandwich sized LnL. After a dozen years of flawless service west of Sibbald Pond, it was time for it to make one more appearance. See the image below for the exact location of the cache (hey, if you hike all the way up here, I want you to be able to find it!).
You'll gain 100 metres of elevation in the first 450 metres of your hike, and it'll probably seem steeper than that. After that things level out considerably and you'll have a nice ridge walk up to about the 1 km mark, at which point you'll lose a little elevation (about 20 metres) before arriving at the cache.
