Geocache Description:


This is a CHALLENGE Cache. The Cache IS at the Posted Coordinates but you MUST complete the challenge before logging a find.

This is a challenge - it is not meant to be easy. This challenge is not going to be for all cachers - but then again, that's why its called a challenge!

Challenges or “challenges” can be accepted or not, it is your own choice. Challenges come in different levels of difficulty, from very easy to real physical exertion.


This is a series of challenge caches along Fairfax County's Holmes Run Stream Valley Trail.

To log this cache, you must find caches with a total of 5000 Favorite Points for each of the Days of the Week.

          5K FAVORITES EVERY DAY CHALLENGE

          As geocachers, we love accomplishments. Challenge Caches give us that goal to achieve. Before you lies The Holmes Run Challenge Cache Trail (HRCCT). There are caches for the newbies and veterans out here but this is no power trail.

          The Challenge

          To qualify for and be able to log a find on this challenge cache you must meet the following requirements:

          • To log this cache as found you need to have found caches with a total of 5000 Favorite Points for each of the Days of the Week.
            • To qualify for this challenge you need to have found caches on all 7 days of the week with a combined Favorite Point total of 5000 points for each day. It doesn't matter what type and it doesn't matter whether it's 1 cache with 5000 favorites or 5000 caches with 1 favorite each.
          • The caches may have been in different years and any type.
          • Of course you can place a "write note" if you have found the cache, but do not yet meet the requirements. Then you can still place a found later if you meet the requirements (preferably mentioning the date log note).

          This Cache Hide

          This cache container IS at the posted coordinates.

          Pay attention to all details/attributes of the listing for your clues.

          Per the new rules, the difficulty rating is based on the Challenge - the terrain is based upon the hide. Good luck and start planning your adventures now. The rating for this cache is:

          4.0/4.5

          Rules for the challenge caches in this series:
          1. As with all caches, the decision as to whether a log is valid rests solely with the cache owner.
          2. We have provided a verification tool.

            For the verification of this challenge there is a Project-GC checker. It is a very useful checker, with which you can see exactly which types you have already found.

          3. You may sign the log before completing the challenge. If you have do this, please use a "Write note" log to record your find and then a "Found it" log once you have completed the challenge.
          4. Your log does not need to contain enough information to prove you have met the challenge - that can be determined from the Project-GC checker. I suggest you use the verification checker on this cache page to prove you have met the challenge. Please do not provide the entire output of the checker as it can sometimes be quite verbose.
          5. I may double-check your qualifications with the Project-GC checker after you have logged your find.
          6. Any finds that do not qualify for this challenge or lack a signature on logsheet will be deleted without notice.

If you want to know where to park or get food or a bathroom along the trail you need to check out Fairfax County Trail Buddy It is loaded with valuable information including maps of all of the trails in Fairfax County.
