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 tinytuttle 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 called the Colorado Challenge! In commemoration of my 1000th find in Colorado, I decided to post this challenge for others to do as well. This is a challenge to find 1000 caches in Colorado! This cache is designed to be an extra incentive to find caches here in our glorious, wonderful state. The caches can be of any type or size, but must have been found in Colorado. You must copy/paste your information from your Statistics --->Maps section, or post information from GSAK. If you are posting information from your Geocaching.com profile statistics, make sure your profile is set to public so I can review your finds and make sure you qualify. If you do not qualify or do not post your information within a reasonable amount of time your post may be deleted. I understand that life happens and you may not be able to log your information the same day, but it shouldn't take you longer than a few days to edit your post with the required information. Here is my information as an example: You have cached in 1 state:
I expect this to be an easy challenge for many people, but I also want to stress that its meant to be a fun challenge for newer cachers like myself who haven't been caching for years, and it gives them something to strive for. We live in a wonderful state for outdoors activity and have plenty of variety when it comes to geocaching (we could be like Wyoming and need to hide everything under rocks) so this is to reward you for caching in our great state! The caches can be found at any point in time, but you must have all 1000 finds in Colorado before you mark this as "Found". The container is small enough to hold small trackables and small SWAG, please replace it as found to keep it hidden from muggles. Difficulty and Terrain ratings are based upon the requirements for finding 1000 caches in Colorado, some people will do this all in a weekend at a power trail, some will take months or years to find this many in Colorado and have them spread out around different terrains and difficulties so it may vary person to person, but this is just a base D/T to find all 1000 for the average person. I hope you enjoy this challenge and the others I am bringing to the area, as a newer geocacher myself I'm excited to post these so I hope you're all excited to log them!

. Once they cleared, this was an easy cache to find and log. I took a screenshot of my current state count (though my profile is set to public as well) as evidence of my qualifications for this hide. I must say, I was a little sad to see CO was only my second highest state with 1357 finds. Dang NV and their power trails...anywho, thanks for the cache and the stat challenge!
