Geocaching Challenge – A World of Cache Types
This is a challenge cache. You can locate the physical container at the coordinates listed in the waypoints. However, to log this as a find, you need to have the distance between northernmost and southernmost find, as well as between the westernmost and easternmost find, greater than 6,500 km each. Please provide evidence of your qualification.
The Challenge
I 
to travel, and traveling is one of the greatest parts of geocaching! With no need for a guidebook, your adventures can be led by different types of caches:
- A Traditional might bring you to a quiet scenic view
- A Multi-cache could guide you through a fascinating site
- A Virtual may highlight a well-known tourist destination
- A Wherigo lets you experience your surroundings in a new way
- An EarthCache encourages learning about natural formations
- A Mystery (or Puzzle) cache can uncover hidden local stories
- An Event introduces you to fellow explorers and the local community
This challenge highlights the variety that geocaching adds to travel.
To log this cache with "Found it":
If you meet the condition of having the distance between your northernmost and southernmost find, as well as between the westernmost and easternmost find, greater than 6,500 km, you can log "Found it" after locating the container and signing the logbook.
Your finds can be from the past and do not have to be recent. Caches that have since been archived still count. If you adopted a cache after finding it, it still qualifies. You may not use caches that you placed yourself unless they are adopted after your log.
Logging the cache:
When logging this cache, please include the checker result screenshot in your log.
You can verify your qualification via the Project-GC checker linked on the cache page.
This cache is part of a travel-themed series hidden along a quieter stretch of the PST trail, where there are fewer people and plenty of shade from the trees, making it pleasantly cool even on hot summer days. The caches are placed along the path, and the route is not circular.
Please note:
If you do not yet meet the condition, you are welcome to log a "Write note" after finding it. Later, when you qualify, you can change your log to "Found it".
Note on the calculation: This challenge has a certain logic, which the checker also follows. However, it becomes problematic when the westernmost and easternmost finds are located on the "backside" of the globe (seen from the prime meridian). The closer these points approach the antimeridian (180°), the shorter the distance becomes, because then the measurement is "backward." Furthermore, the respective geographical latitude (i.e., the distance from the equator) can play a greater role in individual cases than originally intended. Other methods of calculating distances (for example, using longitude and latitude) have specific advantages and disadvantages; there doesn't seem to be an optimal solution. However, I think we can live with this suboptimal solution for this challenge. Anyone who, for the reasons mentioned above, is not actually authorized to log according to the checker is welcome to contact me.
Happy caching, and may your travels be full of variety and adventure!
Let the journey guide you, one cache at a time.
