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.

There is plenty of room to park along the shoulder, but still be careful here.  There is room for very small swag.

Congrats june17 on FTF!

This challenge is similar to many of my other challenges in the area.  You must simply find 10 Wherigo caches in one CALENDAR day.  Wherigo caches are a fun part of geocaching, and you can create a Wherigo cache any way you want.  They can be quizzes, adventures, puzzles, and simple traditional caches with a Wherigo icon.  This challenge is here to help you explore the fun Wherigo side of caching!

To receive credit for this cache: you must list the 10 Wherigo caches you found, the day, and the GC codes for the caches.  You can also post screen shots or use whatever method you'd like to verify you have qualified.  Keep in mind that FTF status and Found verification must be made in a timely manner, or your log may be deleted.

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.

Note: normally finding 10 Wherigo caches in one day can be difficult and time-consuming.  Keep in mind the new Wingin'It Wherigo power trail that was recently created, and you'll be able to easily achieve more than 10 in one day there!

We signed the log last year when we were in the area, but we didn't qualify. I have been caching for a few years now and only had ten WiG finds. And today we were able to get a dozen! So a big thanks to you and the other local caches who have hidden so many WiGs.

_BriGuy_ has used Project-GC to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.

I made it with 12 finds and needed only 10 of the type Wherigo Cache

Casper&Aero complète le challenge Moose's Challenge: The Wherigo Challenge (GC5M42D) selon https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC5M42D/12101


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... Il y a beaucoup de caches mais devons fermer les yeux ne pouvant toutes les trouver... Mais c'est avec plaisir que nous apposerons notre signature sur certaines d'entre-elles...

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

Casper&Aero de Baie-Comeau, Québec, Canada


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

Thanks for the fun challenge! I was thinking that I had found a bunch of fun wherigos but hadn't qualified yet for this challenge. Then I remembered doing the below series during a mega in Minnesota. Project-gc indicates that I qualified with 38 finds and needed only 10 of the type Wherigo Cache.
