All-Terrains, Iconic, One-Day Challenge Mystery Cache

The cache IS at the posted coordinates.

The Challenge

Find nine caches in a single day. These nine caches must have nine different terrain ratings (1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, and 5) and at least five different cache types (i.e., icons).

The Details

• Only these cache types can be used for your nine qualifying finds: Traditional, Unknown, Multi-Cache, EarthCache, Letterbox-Hybrid, Virtual, and Whereigo.

• You can find more than nine caches during the day.

• The single day runs from midnight to midnight.

• You cannot include this cache among your nine qualifying finds. Nor can you include the “Brass Cap Cache” (GC43F3), since its terrain rating constantly changes.

• Normal geocaching conventions apply. You cannot find your own caches. Use the proper dates for your find logs. Etc.

Logging this Cache

You can sign this cache’s physical log sheet at any time – before, during, or after your qualifying day. But do not log an online “Found It” until you’ve signed this cache’s physical log sheet and shown that you’ve met the challenge requirements. We’ll delete any premature “Found Its.”

If you sign the physical log sheet before you complete the requirements, then you can log an online “Write Note” to help you remember this fact.

Providing Proof

One of the things you must do before claiming an online “Found It” is show that you’ve met this challenge’s requirements. You can do this in various ways, but you must include (at a minimum): (1) the date you found the qualifying caches, (2) a list of nine GCCodes, (3) the difficulty rating of each of those nine caches, and (4) the cache type (i.e., icon) of each of those nine caches.

• For example, you could create a publicly viewable bookmarks list.

• Or, you could include the list as part of your online log. For instance, here’s a full list of our nine qualifying finds:

  On June 30, 2014, we found these caches:
  
  GC34J9W - T1.0 - *EarthCache
  GC49YQY - T1.5 - *Wherigo
  GC44BGP - T2.0 - *Letterbox-Hybrid
  GC325P4 - T2.5 - *Traditional
  GC4RGVT - T3.0 -  Traditional
  GC4DJTE - T3.5 - *Puzzle
  GC49Z00 - T4.0 -  Puzzle
  GC4GV3G - T4.5 -  Traditional
  GC4A2V4 - T5.0 -  Puzzle
  

• Or, you could use third-party software to create your list and upload an image of that list to your online log. For instance, here’s a full list of our nine qualifying finds:

We got the basic idea for this challenge from Sharknose Bunnies’ “Challenge: Test of Terrain” (GC319D1).

Congratulations to G & E for being the first to complete and find this challenge.
