Challenge of a Century: "First Cache Hidden" Mystery Cache
MN.Fruitcake: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Do you remember the first cache you ever hid? I do. That first cache hide for a cache owner always seems to hold special meaning for us. It’s kind of like riding a bike for the first time. We want people to find it because we usually put a lot of thought into the hide and we want our fellow geocachers to be impressed with us.
This cache IS at the listed coordinates.
Please read the description below for logging requirements.
Numbers. We are fascinated by them.
We love to celebrate milestones and goals met of various numbers.
One hundred always seems to be a significant number that gives us a sense of accomplishment.
Main Entry: cen•tu•ry
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural cen•tu•ries
Etymology: Latin centuria, irregular from centum hundred
Date: 1533
1 : a group, sequence, or series of 100 like things
To log a “Found it” for this cache in addition to finding the cache and signing the logbook you must have:
Found the “First Cache Hidden” by 100 different/unique/distinct cache owners.
An owner is identified by clicking on the profile link, NOT by the cache listing name(s).The “First Cache Hidden” is determined by looking in the “Geocaches Owned” section of the cache owners profile and checking the “Placed” date. The cache with the earliest “Placed” date is considered to be the “First Cache Hidden” by that cache owner. In the case of two or more caches having the same “Placed” date, the one with the lower GC number will be considered to be the “First Cache Hidden”. If the “First Cache Hidden” by a cache owner is archived, you can only use that cache owner for this Challenge if you had found their “First Cache Hidden” prior to it being archived.
Fulfill this logging requirement any way you see fit but preferably with a Bookmark List.
Each entry must include:
Cache Owner (profile) name, the name of the cache, GC number, and date found.
Yes, previous finds qualify.
To make it easier for folks to log this cache: Knowing that a lot of Challenge cachers are not from the area, you are not required to complete the requirements before you sign the physical log. Whenever you find yourself in the area, go ahead and sign it but if you do, please leave a note in the logs indicating that you have done so. Once you complete the requirements, Log your Find and include the date that you signed the log.
FTF honors do not automatically go to the first person to sign the log. They go to the first person to sign the log AND get their list published on the cache page.
