This is a challenge cache and is NOT at the posted coordinates.
It is part of a series of caches to celebrate achievements (aka, challenge requirements) in a variety of aspects of geocaching. As such, it will be a rare geocacher who qualifies for all challenges in the series. The series is not meant to be a quick power trail. Variety is a key theme, both in hides and challenges. The D rating is based on the difficulty in completing the challenge. The T rating is based on the terrain of the actual hide. Bring along your toolkit and certainly a writing stick. Most importantly, be careful and have fun!
If you are relatively new to the game then pick out one (or a few) that interest you and keep the requirements in mind when you plan your next caching trip.
To claim a Find, you must meet the requirements below and sign the physical log. When you accomplish one task, feel free to leave a Note until the other task is complete. The actual coordinates for the container are listed in the Additional Waypoints.
*** The requirements for this challenge are as follows ***
