Challenge of the 4s

03/30/2024 By GeoDog74
WOO-HOO! First find on a blustery morning Caching run down South. I was stoked when this new Challenge Cache first published, and even happier to qualify. I left the pup in the car and strolled over to GZ to do a little surveillance before exerting any energy. As I circled the host something caught my eye laying on the ground, turns out it was the log to this cache! I can see how the previous finder may have unknowingly had it slip out of the container, it's a precarious perch once you reach it. I added a barely legible GD74 on the log, managed not to drop anything, and replaced as found. Nobody around this morning which added to the fun. Thanks to CO TB29 for another nice Challenge hide.....um more please! Cheers and TFTC!

Getting to cache was a little dicey. From talking to previous finders I knew that I would need a booster of some sort. What I took with me was marginal but I was barely able to make the log retrieval and then replacement. SL Interesting challenge.

Signed this the day it came out, but not with the first group. At the time I was 3 counties short. I picked up what I needed on my recent Utah/Idaho trip, so now I qualify for this.

Not being vertically challenged, I found the extra height needed for this hide. Had me going at first with the possible places, though lol. Great challenge, thanks!

Heard about this challenge at the event this am. I did a quick check to see if I qualified and I did. Came by just to see how difficult it was to reach. I made an ugly attempt but I made it. The signature is sloppy but it’s there. Unfortunately there is a broken branch already.

Life is sometimes serendipitous I decided to stop and check this one out on my way to today's event. When I pulled into the parking lot at Ground Zero there was another car parked right there, the only car in the whole lot. I thought that must be a geocacher. It wasn't but the good news was he was tall enough to access the container for me and I introduced a new person to geocaching. Tftc

Signed with WingsAndTales today after a puzzle solving event. Great challenge! Getting to GZ was interesting with the extra barrier of mountains of plowed snow :-)
