THIS CACHE IS NOT A CHALLENGE CACHE. THIS MEANS THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO COMPLETE SOME SORT OF A CHALLENGE BEFORE YOU LOG THE CACHE. YOU CAN SIGN IT AT ANY TIME, AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO QUALIFY IN ORDER TO LOG IT. (IN OTHER WORDS, YOU CAN LOG IT IF YOU FIND IT.)
ANY LOG THAT DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE CHALLENGE WILL NOT BE DELETED WITHOUT NOTICE!
(Due to certain Groundspeak rules this challenge cache has been nixed. However, in the spirit of the intent of the cache, the fun way to log this cache is to check whether you would have qualified and comment about it in your log.) It's optional, but would be nice.
The challenge that you would have had to complete before logging this cache was to find at least 25 caches with a difficulty of 3.5 AND at least 25 caches with a terrain of 5.
You could have used caches with 3.5-5 ratings to count in both categories. In other words, if you had 25 caches with a 3.5-5 rating then you were good.
No checker should have been needed for this because you could have easily seen if you qualifed by looking at your statistics page. Look at the diagram below. This is the chart that you would have been looking for. If the two numbers that the red arrows are pointing at are both 25 or higher, then you would have qualifed.
The actual cache IS no longer at the posted coordinates, but they are close to where you might want to park. The container is a cammoed cylinder in the crotch of a small tree. The container is larger than my usual cammoed cylinder hides, and should not be hard to spot. There is a puzzle below that you can solve to get the actual coordinates.
The ratings for this cache are based on the difficulty of completing what would have been the challenge. The hide itself is closer to a 1.5-2.
NOW: Since this is still listed as a puzzle cache I felt that it would only be right to add a puzzle. Here it is:
Solve this puzzle and go find the cache. There is a checker available in case you are unsure of your solution. You just never know for sure unless you use a checker.
