Now that the giggles are over and your mind is out of the gutter...
This is a Challenge Cache and the cache IS at the posted coordinates.
Neither "Mile High Club" cache may be used for this challenge.

The qualification for this challenge will be very easy for Colorado cachers; not so much for "flat landers". The terrain rating for this cache is based on the actual placement and not for the "challenge".

To qualify, all you need to do is find THREE CACHE TYPES that each have an elevation equal to or greater than TWO MILES (10,560ft) above sea level. Use the posted coordinates for Multi and Mystery/Challenge caches. They do not need to be found on the same day. Then, do the simple math to obtain the average elevation of these three caches. It's that simple... or is it?
You may use the Geocaching.com TOPO/Terrain maps or GSAK to get the elevations and post which caches you found and when, along with their elevation and their combined average elevation.

My list for Example:
1. Traditional: GC141NQ The Highest Cache in Colorado on 8-26-10 at 14422.6ft
2. Event: GC4D9Z1 Mt Elbert Flash Mob on 8-31-13 at 14422.6ft
3. Virtual: GC7C07 Top Of The World on 6-27-12 at 14252.0ft
Average Elevation: 14,365.7ft


HALL OF FAME
1. kenyansherpa: 22,215'
2. hartsdale: 14,365.7'
3. SnailMan: 14,365.7'

Don't forget to grab my other Mile High Club Challenge!


There is an "Into The Wild" DVD for the FTF along with some random SWAG. You may sign this cache before qualifying, but please don't take the prize. Again, be careful at Ground Zero! The actual hide is very easy once you get there.

Special thanks to sassydil for providing the ammo can and doing the hike with me to place this!

I was looking for mystery caches and saw I qualified but it took a while to grab this one. Wow what a hike. I always seem too take the wrong approach on these ones. Now off to the second one. Thanks

tripman1 has used Project-GC to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.

Hey!

SnailMan and I are sitting at 14,365.7 ft so far with more to come in the future.

Just happen to notice this over site while grabbing a new puzzle cache around the corner so to speak.

Used my old I phone calculator for the addition.
