The cache IS at the posted coordinates, however to log this cache as "found" you must meet specific requirements.  Check below to understand the challenge.

Congrats 2lablovers on FTF!

This is part of a series of challenges I am releasing for new cachers in the area to find something they can qualify for.  Sometimes its discouraging for those of us who have only been caching for a little while to see some of the difficult challenges in Fort Collins, and its nice to have something we can actually qualify for in the area!

This is the 63-day streak challenge.  Some of us have not been caching long enough to qualify for things such as the 366 day challenge, so this is to help other new cachers like myself have something to shoot for along the way.  Simply post a screen-shot of your streak information from your statistics page, make your statistics public so I can check them (and let me know if they are public when making your post), or post GSAK information. 

Here is my information for an example and proof that I have completed this challenge myself:

Current Streak

63 consecutive days with finds since 08/12/2014

 

This is simple enough that you can do it in a little over two months, the streak obviously has to be consecutive days, but you can post a previous streak if you have completed this in the past. 

The container itself shouldn't bee too hard to find, especially if you have been finding a cache-a-day for at least 63 days in a row.  The container is big enough for small swag and small trackables.  Please place it back where found to keep it out of sight of muggles.  Difficulty and Terrain are rated on the difficulty of this challenge, including travel for some caches and having to find a cache every day.

Again, this challenge is for fun, to give newer cachers something to strive for, and it is also for those of you who can't make it a full year for one reason or another.  I hope you have fun with this, and I know that many people have had streaks much longer than 63 days so this should be an easy cache to qualify for, but remember that it is designed for newer cachers as an easy challenge.

Hmm...this geocache container was quite the worse for wear and took a considerable amount of searching! I intend to return this weekend to put a film canister in its place as it is currently a scrap of paper with signatures on it. This one has been on my 'to-find' list for over three months now but then I saw your 1/3 year challenge so decided to hold off and do them all in one fell swoop. Although I logged the 1/3 year challenge, I do want to make sure each log has evidence of my qualification for the challenge but this time I'm opting for a screenshot as I'm having trouble logging back in to project-gc at the moment. Thanks for the smiley!

I qualify but had no luck finding the container today. After looking through the old logs I guess I should have left a replacement.

Great times had with sweet-marie, MissPeach13 & Laphamclan (CCCs) on our roadtrip into Colorado! My public stats will show that I do qualify for this cache. Thank you!

Here on an amazing 10 day geocaching road trip with sweet-marie, kteeeee and laphamclan. We flew into Kansas City and after renting a car we drove through Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Missouri and back to Kansas. All logs were either signed CCC (Crazy Canadian Cachers) or stamped with our red CCC stamp. Answers to Virtuals and Earthcaches have been sent in on behalf of the group.
My statistics will show that I qualify.

I'm currently on a streak and was idly keyword searching 'consecutive' and 'streak' using the Project GC map of challenge caches across the English speaking world and came across this particular cache.
Seeing as I qualify I'm using this note as a reminder through the Project GC challenge cache page on my profile to remind myself that when I travel over to your fair country I ought to sign the log and claim the smiley :)

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

2nd time I have looked for this cache while I was here in Colorado..Can the CO confirm this cache is still where you left it.

I qualify for the challenge easily, with my longest streak being 374 days-in-a-row; 'm also working of a minimum-of-two-fnds-per-day-n-a-row streak that has reached 77 days, a new personal record. But all that counts for nothing as the CO has decided for some strange reason not to hide the container in one of the trees or at their bases, a logical place for a challenge cache container, but instead has hidden it in one of two all-but-inpenitribal willow thickets on either side of a (fortunately dry today) concrete water course; my GPSr indicated that GZ was between the two. I searched both, but all I found was some trash and someone's boxed computer disc. No joy for me today!
