Geocache Description:


To claim this challenge, you must find 511 caches based on the numerical sequence of 2 to the power of 8. Specifically:

1.  They must consist of 9 different cache types (you may use traditional, unknown, multi, event, earthcache, letterbox hybrid, CITO, virtual, wherigo, webcam, mega event or giga event).

2.  Your finds must consist of 256 of one cache type, 128 of a second type, 64 of a third, 32 of a fourth, 16 of a fifth, 8 of a sixth, 4 of a seventh, 2 of an eighth, and 1 of a ninth type. 

My own example (as certified by Project GC):

256  Traditional Cache 2902 (total of this type)
128  Unknown Cache 687
64    Letterbox Hybrid 150
32    Earthcache 101
16    Event Cache 86
8      Virtual Cache 85
4      Multi-cache 81
2      Cache In Trash Out Event 19
1      Wherigo Cache 1   
 

Please use the Challenge Checker to confirm or provide a list of qualifying caches. Difficulty rating is based on obtaining the numbers and different types, especially for new cachers. 

This is an all-season non-motorized hiking / cycling trail. The cache could be available in winter depending on the amount of snow, and is at a discernible host. You must sign the log to claim this find and provide proof of meeting this challenge; otherwise your find will be deleted. If you don't yet qualify, you may sign the log and leave a note in the comments; then when you do qualify, you may claim as found.

Thanks to str8upcacher (GC7EY56) and 78viper (GC72T4Q) for the inspiration.
