Geocache Description:


Cache IS at the posted coordinates!

This challenge requires you fill 365 calendar days (leap day not included) with non-traditional caches, but it requires a little more thought as you'll have to get a minimum number of each of the non-traditional cache types on unique dates:

  • 5 unique dates with webcam finds

  • 10 unique dates with any type of Event logged (Regular, CITO, Mega, Giga, or Community Celebration)

  • 15 unique dates with Wherigos

  • 20 unique dates with Letterboxes

  • 25 unique dates with Virtuals

  • 30 unique dates with Earthcaches

  • 35 unique dates with Multis

  • 40 unique dates with Mysteries

The other 185 calendar days can be any type of non-traditional cache find. A checker is included to see if you satisfy the requirements for this one.

If you do not qualify at this time, you are still welcome to sign the log and write a "note" then log as "found" once you qualify. 

I qualify with the following finds:
Webcam Cache qualified 11 of 11 days, required 5
Event Cache qualified 19 of 56 days, required 10
Wherigo Cache qualified 15 of 28 days, required 15
Letterbox Hybrid qualified 20 of 39 days, required 20
Virtual Cache qualified 25 of 57 days, required 25
Earthcache qualified 30 of 35 days, required 30
Multi-cache qualified 35 of 70 days, required 35
Unknown Cache qualified 211 of 366 days, required 40
Total 366 days

Huge thank you to zumbido in Maryland who had the idea for this cache and has graciously allowed me to borrow his idea! If you're ever in Maryland be sure to find the original 365 Non-Traditional Progressive Variety Challenge- GCA3360!
