This is a challenge cache.  The cache IS at the given coordinates, however you have to meet certain criteria to mark this cache as found. Read below to understand this challenge. Park in the large shoulder of the road to reach this cache, but as always be careful.  

Congrats estrek on FTF!

This is the Quarter Century Challenge. Simply put, you need to find 25 caches of each of the following Non-Traditional Caches to qualify. You may take a screen shot of your profile, upload images of a macro, or just mark your profile as public, let me know about it, and I can verify it myself. To qualify, you must have found 25 of the following: Multi-Stage Caches Mystery Caches Letterbox Hybrid Caches Wherigo Caches Virtual Caches Earth Caches Previous finds count, finds from anywhere count, this is simply a reward for going out and searching for Non-Traditional Caches. D/T are based mainly on the challenge itself. Keep in mind here in Colorado we have GeoArt, the Colorado Star, and the new Wingin'It Wherigo series to help you qualify for this easily. As always, you may sign/stamp the log ahead of time, mark a note on the cache page, and then change it to found with your qualifications when you are able. Challenges are meant to be fun and a reward for doing something extraordinary, but keep in mind they are entirely optional.

Finally got my 25th Wherigo, so went looking for this cache. Bees have decided to make a hive in the tree, but other than slightly interfering with their flight path I didn't bother them and they didn't bother me. After a bit of searching finally spotted the well hidden cache. Attached a screen shot of my finds. Thanks for the cache!

Thanks so much for all the smiles! We so appreciate the effort to place caches:)

Inked the log which is a bit damp and tucked it back in its hiding place.

We only need three Wherigo’s and then we can claim the smile.

We are up from Bend Oregon for a little work and a little Geocaching.

May the road rise up to meet you!
May the wind be always at your back!
May the sun shine warm upon your face!

Great times had with sweet-marie, MissPeach13 & Laphamclan (CCCs) on our roadtrip into Colorado! My public stats will show that I do qualify for this challenge. Thank you! Many, busy Busy wasps at GZ!

Here on an amazing 10 day geocaching road trip with sweet-marie, kteeeee and laphamclan. We flew into Kansas City and after renting a car we drove through Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Missouri and back to Kansas. All logs were either signed CCC (Crazy Canadian Cachers) or stamped with our red CCC stamp. Answers to Virtuals and Earthcaches have been sent in on behalf of the group.
My statistics will verify that I qualify for this Challenge. Beware of the huge WASP NEST in the tree!

Our Colorado vacation continued today with some caching between Ft Collins and Greeley. We found several challenge caches along this road before heading southeast.

Mrs RC spotted this one and feared she may have to do battle with nearby bees. She eluded them, but be careful when searching here. TFTC!

Notre périple a débuté le 22 août dernier et nous amènera à visiter douze états Américains et deux provinces Canadiennes... Notre départ s'est fait à partir de Baie-Comeau, une ville sur la Côte Nord du Québec pour ensuite se poursuivre quelques jours à Québec où nous avons fait un peu de Géocaching.... Par la suite, nous avons fait un arrêt à St-Eustache et Ville de Laval, toujours au Québec, pour ensuite prendre l'avion et arriver à Portland, Oregon... Nous avons fait un arrêt le 28 août à Umatilla toujours en Oregon, le 29 août à Boise en Idaho, le 30 à Twin Falls et le 31 nous sommes à Salt Lake City pour deux jours... Le 2 septembre nous étions à Rock Springs, Wyoming, le 3 nous avons fait un arrêt à Laramie, Wyoming... Le 4 et le 5 septembre nous étions dans la région de Colorado Spring, CO... Aujourd’hui nous nous dirigeons vers Fort Collins, CO...

Pendant tout le voyage nous avons ciblé quelques caches qui nous aideront à atteindre nos objectifs personnels et nous découvrirons certainement de nouveaux endroits que les Géocacheurs d'ici voudront nous faire découvrir... Nous préparons ce voyage depuis plusieurs mois et savons que nous ne pourrons pas tout voir par manque de temps...

Merci pour la création de ces caches qui ajoutent des sourires à notre profil et qui nous font passer du bon temps peu importe l'humeur de Dame Nature... Notre log sera le même pour toute la journée et s'il y a une particularité nous l'ajouterons au début du texte... Des favoris seront ajoutés ici et là pour tout le travail accompli... MPLC

Our English is not perfect, we use Google Translate to help us ...

Our journey began last August 22 and will take us to visit twelve US states and two Canadian provinces ... Our departure was from Baie-Comeau, a city on the North Shore of Quebec and then continue for a few days in Quebec City where we did some Geocaching .... Then we stopped at St-Eustache and Ville de Laval, still in Quebec, and then flew to Portland, Oregon... We made stop in Umatilla on August 28 still in Oregon, August 29 in Boise, Idaho, August 30 in Twin Falls and August 31st we are in Salt Lake City for two days... The 2nd of september we were in Rock Springs. Wyoming and the september 3 the road brought us to Laramie, Wyoming... On September 4th and 5th we were in the Colorado Spring area, CO ... Today we are heading to Fort Collins, CO

Throughout the trip we have targeted some caches that will help us achieve our personal goals and we will certainly discover new places that Geocachers here will want us to discover ... We have been planning this trip for several months and know we will not be able to not all see for lack of time ... There are many caches but we must close our eyes can not find them all ... But it is with pleasure that we will put our signature on some of them ...

Thank you for creating these caches that add smiles to our profile and make us have a good time regardless of the mood of Mother Nature ... Our log will be the same for the whole day and if there is a particularity we will add it at the beginning of the text ... Favorites will be added here and there for all the work done ... TFTC
