Geocache Description:


The physical cache container IS at the posted coordinates!

This is a challenge cache and has special logging requirements. Please be sure to read the cache page thoroughly. Logs of finders not meeting the requirements will be deleted.  I found the inspiration for this challenge cache while attending the first edition of BAMARAMA in 2023. It was GCA3CJ5.


IN ORDER TO LOG THIS CHALLENGE AS A FIND, YOU MUST FIND A MINIMUM OF 1 GEOCACHE THAT MEETS ALL THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA:

1. CACHE MUST BE FOUND ON A DAY THAT ENDS WITH "Y" DURING A MONTH THAT CONTAINS AT LEAST 28 DAYS IN A YEAR.

2. CACHE MUST HAVE BEEN HIDDEN NORTH OF 0 DEGREES LATITUDE OR SOUTH OF THE EQUATOR OR ANYWHERE ON THE EQUATOR

3. CACHE NEEDS TO BE HIDDEN EAST OR WEST OF THE PRIME MERIDIAN. ANYTHING HIDDEN ON THE PRIME MERIDIAN WORKS TOO.

4. CACHE NEEDS TO BE FOUND ON A DAY WARMER THAN -459.67° F BUT COOLER THAN 200° F.

5. CACHE MUST START WITH AN ALPHANUMERIC CHARACTER OR ANY SPECIAL CHARACTER, BLANKS COUNT TOO.

6. CACHE SHOULD HAVE MORE THAN 100 FAVORITE POINTS, BUT FEWER IS FINE!

7. CACHE SHOULD BE APPROX. 12,500 MILES FROM YOUR HOME COORDINATES. FURTHER IS OK. LESS IS ALSO OK.

OPTIONAL LOGGING REQUIREMENT: INCLUDE IN YOUR LOG THE GC THAT SATISFIES THIS CHALLENGE AND A QUICK REASON WHY YOU CHOSE IT TO SATISFY THE CHALLENGE.

The only verification you need that you meet the challenge is the output of the challenge checker.
