Cache is located at the listed coordinates.

Since May 2000, Groundspeak has listed 20 cache types (if you include Benchmarks and Challenges). Find and log 15 distinct types.

It's now 2017. I know there are now more than 20. I am too lazy to fix the page. Go for it. Vort.
Make your log look something like this. No dates needed. A quick look at your profile will establish your bona fides.

1. Traditional -- 7232
2. Multi Cache -- 180
3. Project A.P.E. -- 1
4. Unknown Cache -- 1099
5. Letterbox Hybrid -- 23
6. Wherigo Cache -- 10
7. Event Cache -- 30
8. Cache in Trash Out Event -- 3
9. Earthcache -- 101
10. Virtual Cache -- 242
11. Webcam Cache -- 18
12. 10 Years! -- 1
13. Locationless Cache -- 85
14. GPS Adventures Maze -- 1
15. NGS Benchmark -- 92
16*. Challenge Cache -- 9
* I know this type is now defunct. I cannot verify, but using the honor system, if you tell me you had at least one CHALLENGE when they existed, I will trust you. This type of find was discontinued by Groundspeak on 5 December 2012. If you started caching after that date, and want to list this type, that's going to be a problem. ;-)

This will be easier to log for the old heads. But even if you just started caching, with travel and perseverance, you can set this challenge as an attainable goal. The requirement for 15 will never change, so if a new type is added, the challenge will get easier.

In the area for a Challenge run with lasouthpaw over Memorial day weekend. Challenges are my favorites, so thanks for placing this. I'm not sure why my benchmarks aren't showing up in my challenge checker, but I have 5 of them. I also have exactly 1 Challenge - it was so lame I never did another. TFTC!

Came through with peace love pi today. Getting everything down as a "write note" and will come back and see what I qualify for. Glad a number of cachers have come through on the way to Geowoodstock, I think we found all but one container. Someone wasn't very good at screwing Bison tubes together, we found a lot of these in two pieces. Luckily it's been dry and all the logs were good.

Peace love pi and I traveled south from the Denver area to enjoy finding Colorado Springs caches and fill in a few more rays for the 360 degrees of Colorado challenge. Loved the rolling hills and seeing so many antelope in the fields along the roads. Thanks to all the COs who made this an awesome caching day for us!
