Geocache Description:


This puzzle cache is at the posted waypoint. Please read below for the requirements to log this cache.

This cache is located in a park so please follow the park hours of 7am-10pm April-September & 7am-8pm October-March.

This challenge is meant to be a difficult one to achieve and is not from everyone. No one will be offended if you put it on your 'ingore list'.

5 star rated caches are the 'Black Diamonds' of caching. You either had to solve a really hard puzzle, find a container that is really well hidden, or use special equipment just to access a cache. These are the kinds of caches that make this sport enjoyable, and I feel like more people should experience the wonder of a 5 star cache. I hope that this cache inspires people to search for harder caches.

Many cachers will find 5 star rated caches, but only a select few will be able to find 5 in a single month!

You may find any of the following types of caches to qualify: Traditional, Multi, Puzzle, Virtual, Earthcache, Letterbox, Webcam, Event, Cache In Trash Out, or Wherigo.

Here's my list of 5 that I completed in January 2010

Schuss Mountain

Walk On Water?

Wildwood Island

Valley Island

Ice Safety - Holly Area

The logging requirements are: You must phsyically find and log five 5 star caches in one calendar month. No not a period of 30 days, a full month on the calendar. Caches that have a rating of 5 difficulty stars, or 5 terrain stars count for the challenge.

-5/5 caches DO NOT count as two

- No 'Liar Liar' caches

-No double logging

-No challenge caches

-This cannot be your 5th for the month

-Caches with 'inflated' difficulty or terrain ratings for the sake of meeting this challenge will not be allowed

-Caches that have had their ratings adjusted after the inception of this challenge will not be counted.

Please make a bookmark list, or post the five GC codes and cache names in your log, or in a note before you find the cache.

The container is a 'adopted' Gsix5666 pill bottle from the cache Mother Cache. The rating for the cache itself is a 1.5/2, but for the fact that you will need to be finding 5 star caches, I have rated this a 5/5 accordingly, thus dubbing it a 'Double Black Diamond!'


Congrats to TeamLegend4 on the FTF!
