Geocache Description:


Welcome to Challenge Alley. Check for other challenge caches in the area. This is based on the Challenge Alley in Southern California published by Team Stevecat. As far as I know we don't have anything like it in BC until now. Please feel free to add any challenge caches of your own.

 

The cache is hidden at the posted coordinates.

 

Everyone has probably heard of the Fizzy Challenge by now - do all 81 (D/T combination) to complete that challenge.

This is a subset of that more comprehensive challenge and involves finding just the two diagonals (18 caches in total) in the matrix:

Diagonal #1:
1) 1/1
2) 1.5/1.5
3) 2/2
4) 2.5/2.5
5) 3/3
6) 3.5/3.5
7) 4/4
8) 4.5/4.5
9) 5/5

Diagonal #2:
10) 5/1
11) 4.5/1.5
12) 4/2
13) 3.5/2.5
14) 3/3 (Yes, a second different 3/3 is required)
15) 2.5/3.5
16) 2/4
17) 1.5/4.5
18) 1/5

 

If your geocaching.com stats are not public, post a public bookmark with your 18 caches and this final, or list 18 by D/T, GC, and title in your found it log (once you find the final). Feel free to cut and paste from this cache description. Past finds prior to this publication date count towards the 18.

 

The final cache location is a 2/3 based on the D/T rating of the hide. The 4/3 for the overall cache rating is based on the logging requirements.
