The Requirements:
In order to qualify to log this challenge cache you must have at least 500 finds and at least 15% of your finds must be on cache types other than 'traditional'.
Additional rules:
1: All finds must be listed on this website. Caches listed on other websites are not allowed.
2: Generally accepted rules, guidelines and conditions for logging a cache find apply. You must physically visit, locate, sign the log (if applicable) and log your find online for all the caches you claim for this challenge. You also need to meet all other requirements listed on the cache page, if there are any.
3: You can't claim finds on caches you own unless you found them prior to adopting them.
4: This cache can count towards the requirements.
5: Cache types you can use for this challenge: Any, except lab.
6: If your find count is larger than the number of unique caches you have found the excess will be considered as 'traditionals' and your percentages adjusted accordingly. This will be done by taking the difference between total & unique finds, subtracting that number from the combined finds for all types other than 'traditional', adding it to the 'traditional' total then figuring out the percentages.
Verification:
To verify your finds you can do one of two things:
1- make sure the 'Statistics' tab is available for public viewing on your GC.com profile page.
or
2- use a GSAK stats macro and either post the results on your profile page or email the resulting output file to me.
Verification can be done up to 7 days before or 7 days after logging your find. For pre logging verification you can either post a note on the cache page requesting it or send me an email doing so. Post logging verification that is not done within the 7 day period may lead to log deletion.
Logging:
To log the find online you must, of course, go to the coordinates and sign the log. No pre-logging allowed- only signatures entered in the logbook upon or after completion of the challenge will count as an official find.
Please follow the above regulations to keep things fun, and fair, for everyone. Failure to follow them will result in your log being deleted.
The Cache:
You are looking for one of my sig item preforms covered in cammo tape. The terrain rating is for the actual cache placement while the difficulty rating reflects what I think the challenge warrants. I think they should be pretty accurate- after you have found it, let me know what you think. After logging in please replace the container as found, or better if called for.
FTF:
The FTF can take my other, tiny sig item, included inside the container.
