*** The cache is at the posted coordinates, but you must read the cache page for requirements to log this cache! ***

*** WOW! FTF was hiking_fool, Congrats!!! ***

Disclaimer: This cache is not for everybody.

This cache combines having found a Geocache every day for at Least 555 consecutive days, and having found ALL 81 difficulty/terrain combinations.

To be able to claim a find on this cache, you will need to first find a cache a day for 555 or more consecutive days, and have found at least one cache of every difficulty/terrain combination (81 unique combinations). As part of those finds, you'll need to have at least one of each of the cache types below (the different cache types DO count against the 81, so if you find a 2.5/2.5 multi-cache, it fulfills both requirements.) I've excluded APE caches and MEGA events as they are few and far between and Locationless Caches as they've been phased out:

- EarthCache
- Event Cache
- Letterbox Hybrid
- Cito Event
- Multi Cache
- Traditional Cache
- Unknown Cache
- Virtual Cache
- Webcam Cache

How do you track your caches? There are 4 options:
1) Create a bookmark list and keep track
2) Check your Statistics Tab on your Profile Page
3) Upload your My Finds PQ to site like My Geocaching Profile (there are a few out there)
4) Use GSAK to track your finds (requires download)

Basic rules (to keep things easy):
- All PREVIOUS cache finds DO count - you do NOT start from "0" at this point
- All finds for the FIZZY portion of the challenge must be on caches that were published BEFORE this cache (to avoid "dummy caches" being listed just to meet the FIZZY requirements). Otherwise, caches placed after this cache can still be used for the DAILY STREAK portion of the challenge.
- No rating changes of existing caches will be accepted as counting towards your goal
- Generally accepted rules, guidelines and conditions for logging a cache find apply
- These must be caches listed on Geocaching.com that you have personally found and logged
- No logging finds on caches you own will be allowed (Unless you adopted the cache, and found it at least 6 months prior to adopting it)
- If you have others with you when you find the final cache, only those who have fulfilled ALL criteria for this cache will be allowed to log it as a find.
- Finds without the proper back-up will be deleted
- This cache does not count as the 5/5 in the matrix. You must find a 5/5 before this one

Please keep to these simple rules to keep things fun for everybody.

---

To get credit for this find (and keep your find from being deleted) you must post one of the following with your found log:
A) Have your requirements that you met displayed on your main profile page using a "GSAK" Macro, or stats generated by "MyGeocachingProfile" showing your finds that qualify along with your D/T Combo finds, Cache Types found and Longest Streak statistics displayed; OR
B) A note in your FOUND log showing your finds that qualify along with your D/T Combo finds, Cache Types found and Longest Streak displayed on your Statistics Tab

The final cache location is a 1.5 terrain based on rocks and plants. The 5/5 for the overall cache rating is based on the needs to get the final coords.

---

This should be fun and I'm counting on the honor system for sticking to the rules (especially the finds on caches published BEFORE this one). I will spot check the finds, but don't want to have to be the cache police on checking every find. Please "play" fair and have a good time!

one of a few caches I found in the Springs before heading home to KC after a fun two weeks of climbing 14ers, I recently ended my streak on exactly 555 days with this cache in mind
I will streak no more, forever
proof is available on my stats page

I signed the log a couple of years ago. Finally completed my fizzy today. It was a lot of work getting the 555 streak but I wish I had kept it going to 2 years. Not likely to do that again. Thanks for the challenge!
