This is a Challenge Cache. It is at the listed coordinates, but see below for specific logging requirements.

Congratulations to WingsAndTales - FTF!

---

Some people like puzzles. Some don't. If you like puzzles, this challenge is for you.

To log this cache, you need to find an Unknown type cache on each day of a month. The finds can be this year, any previous year, or any combination. This is similar to the popular 365 Challenge, but you only need to cover one month and with only Unknown caches. Choose a month, determine which days of that month you have not yet found an Unknown cache, and when those days arrive, go find some puzzles!

This GSAK macro should be useful to those of you who use GSAK and are Premium Members. Run the macro on a database loaded with your My Finds Pocket Query.

Rules

• For one particular month, find an Unknown Cache on each day of that month, in any year
• Previous cache finds may be used, including caches that have been archived.
• You must supply a list of qualifying caches including GC Code and Name, along with the date you found them.
• No online finds may be entered until you qualify.

See below for an example of acceptable documentation from the MonthOfMysteries GSAK macro run on my own finds database:

Thanks to kerewin0430 for pointing out the change to the parking regulations. The parking waypoint has been updated.

06/29/2019 By Kerewin0430
Out for a little walk this morning, exploring a trail I hadn't hiked before. My goodness, I can see where the joke about "66 switchbacks" comes from! Cache is in great shape. Please note - the "summer parking" waypoint is no longer a legal place to park - good thing the parking at the bottom of the hill is still close! Will change this to a smiley when I do qualify. Thanks for placing this challenge cache!

With a little focus, I recently finished up April. This was a nice visit to a new trail. Thanks for the challenge, ernie66.

LLYN-lhvwn50 has used Project-GC to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.

Finally back to claim a smiley on this one!
The cache was signed back in July of 2016 and I finally buckled down to get the last days to qualify for the challenge.
Great idea for a challenge - I may replicate it locally!

Casper&Aero complète le challenge Month of Mysteries Challenge (GC3YM0R) selon https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC3YM0R/23576

Notre périple a débuté le 22 août dernier et nous amènera à visiter douze états Américains et deux provinces Canadiennes... Notre départ s'est fait à partir de Baie-Comeau, une ville sur la Côte Nord du Québec pour ensuite se poursuivre quelques jours à Québec où nous avons fait un peu de Géocaching.... Par la suite, nous avons fait un arrêt à St-Eustache et Ville de Laval, toujours au Québec, pour ensuite prendre l'avion et arriver à Portland, Oregon... Nous avons fait un arrêt le 28 août à Umatilla toujours en Oregon, le 29 août à Boise en Idaho, le 30 à Twin Falls et le 31 nous sommes à Salt Lake City pour deux jours... Le 2 septembre nous étions à Rock Springs, Wyoming, le 3 nous avons fait un arrêt à Laramie, Wyoming... Aujourd’hui ce sera notre deuxième et dernière journée dans la région de Colorado Spring...

Pendant tout le voyage nous avons ciblé quelques caches qui nous aideront à atteindre nos objectifs personnels et nous découvrirons certainement de nouveaux endroits que les Géocacheurs d'ici voudront nous faire découvrir... Nous préparons ce voyage depuis plusieurs mois et savons que nous ne pourrons pas tout voir par manque de temps... Il y a beaucoup de caches mais devons fermer les yeux ne pouvant toutes les trouver... Mais c'est avec plaisir que nous apposerons notre signature sur certaines d'entre-elles...

Merci pour la création de ces caches qui ajoutent des sourires à notre profil et qui nous font passer du bon temps peu importe l'humeur de Dame Nature... Notre log sera le même pour toute la journée et s'il y a une particularité nous l'ajouterons au début du texte... Des favoris seront ajoutés ici et là pour tout le travail accompli... MPLC

Casper&Aero de Baie-Comeau, Québec, Canada


Our English is not perfect, we use Google Translate to help us ...

Our journey began last August 22 and will take us to visit twelve US states and two Canadian provinces ... Our departure was from Baie-Comeau, a city on the North Shore of Quebec and then continue for a few days in Quebec City where we did some Geocaching .... Then we stopped at St-Eustache and Ville de Laval, still in Quebec, and then flew to Portland, Oregon... We made stop in Umatilla on August 28 still in Oregon, August 29 in Boise, Idaho, August 30 in Twin Falls and August 31st we are in Salt Lake City for two days... The 2nd of september we were in Rock Springs. Wyoming and the september 3 the road brought us to Laramie, Wyoming... Today will be our second and final day in the Colorado Springs area

Throughout the trip we have targeted some caches that will help us achieve our personal goals and we will certainly discover new places that Geocachers here will want us to discover ... We have been planning this trip for several months and know we will not be able to not all see for lack of time ... There are many caches but we must close our eyes can not find them all ... But it is with pleasure that we will put our signature on some of them ...

Thank you for creating these caches that add smiles to our profile and make us have a good time regardless of the mood of Mother Nature ... Our log will be the same for the whole day and if there is a particularity we will add it at the beginning of the text ... Favorites will be added here and there for all the work done ... TFTC

This was my last find of the day, although it won't count as a find until I do some research and compile my qualifying list. It was quite a bit of work; I had to do almost a mile of hikiing with a gain of 200 feet in elevation as parking is no longer allowed at the indicated spot, but the hint helped me make an easy find once I reached GZ. TFTC in advance!

09/03/2018 By goldpot
Now, this is what I call a proper challenge, something that has to be worked on! Not qualified and working on it.

Well, after months of planning , the Boneheads have finally completed our 2018 Summer Vacation.. It was originally based on completing our Jasmer Challenge, but quickly grown into an all-time fan favorite, including Pikes Peak, Devils Tower, Mount Rushmore, the Grand Tetons, & Yellowstone NP . The Mrs ended up with over 1600 photos. All were fabulous & most caches will get Favorite points from us. Thanks for the fun & all the smileys.

I signed this one with the Photo Chicks back on 7-2-16 when we were in the area for GW14er. I didn't qualify back then but I do now.

TFTC!!! Smiley #9231!!!

LRHG73 has used Project-GC to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.
