The geocache is at the posted coordinates however, this is a challenge cache. You can sign the log at any time but you must meet the listed requirement before you can claim a find online.


As a family, we love to travel and attend geocaching events. What better way to meet local cachers than attend an event when you are away from home? This challenge is built on that concept and hopefully will be a fun one for you to complete.


Requirements: To satisfy this challenge you need to attend events in 10 different states or countries. The events can be of any type listed on Geocaching.com. You can include events that you hosted as well. To show that you have satisfied the requirements use the challenge checker below. Good luck and happy travels.

Found with dustyriver. We wanted to come up from Denver and attend an event in Northern Colorado. It has been a few years since we have, so we figured we would make a day out of it. We enjoyed all the finds and we really need to cache this area more often. Thanks for all the fun!

As mentioned by the previous cacher. This cache is not a T1. Neither are manybof the events here in Colorado. Make sure to check the terrain rating before you attempt this cache. Not all caches are for all cachers.

Didn't find it 08/23/2018 By FresnoDancingFool
I was very disappointed here as I struggled down the slope to the GZ my GPSr gave me, only to find nothing. t seems strange that a challenge cache involving almost universal T1 events should be hidden at the T2.5 level; that certainly discriminates against handicapped cachers who would otherwise have a good chance of qualifying for this challenge.
