Welcome to the 25 GeoArt Challenge Trail! This series along the gorgeous Henson Creek Trail celebrates the 25th year of Geocaching with twenty-five 25-themed challenges. D/ ratings will relate mostly to the challenge difficulty while the /T rating represents the terrain challenges you will face. 

This Challenge: 25 x (-1) Challenge, How Low Can You Go

Qualifications: Log 25 finds hidden at least 1 meter below sea level. Your first thought might be, "How is this even possible? Geocaches cannot be buried." Yes, but mystery caches can be hidden off-shore and, well, there are quite a few of those along the eastern seaboard. Or if you really want to be strict about this challenge, you could vacation in Death Valley. There are at least five caches there hidden at at least 50 mind-boggling meters below sea level.

The Find: The hide is in the crux of a split dead tree.

Logging and Checker: You are free to find this cache at any time but if you would like to log it as a find you must qualify. There is a checker below or click this Project-GC Challenge checker link. Logs marked as found without the necessary qualifications will be deleted. Addendum: for those interested, at time of publication sedor18 has "F(ou)nd at least 25 caches with an altitude below sea level (-1 meters)" Qualifying 52 / 25, PASSED
