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 easy to qualify for.

This is the 150 Trackable Challenge!  It is for anyone who has found, discovered, moved, owned or logged 150 trackables of any kind!  Some people love finding trackables at events to log, some people love buying bugs to send out into the world, everyone has something they love doing with trackables!  Personally, I love geocoins, I collected coins as a kid and love the Geocoins I've seen, bought, logged, discovered, etc. 

To qualify for this challenge, you must simply have logged 150 or more trackables on your profile page.  I'm not requiring that you have moved them or owned them, just discovering works for this challenge.  However, you must make your profile public so I can verify that you have logged 150 or more trackables.  This challenge is designed to encourage trackable discoveries, trading, and movement between geocachers at both events and in caches directly. 

Simply post a screen-shot of your trackables logged part of your statistics, or if you have another way of "proving" you have logged that many go ahead and post it, just make sure that its something I can verify.  If you do not qualify for this challenge or do not post your proof within a reasonable amount of time I may delete your log. 

150 may not be that many to some, and it may be alot to others, this challenge is mainly for those geocachers who actually want to move or discover trackables, and don't forget its not mandatory to do this challenge! 

Just for an example, I will post my credentials.  I have found over 150 but again, I want to make this a simple challenge for newer geocachers to aim for! 

Trackables Logged 194

Something like that is enough for me, as long as your profile is set to public so I can verify the amount. 

Keep an eye out at events for trackables to discover, and feel free to use a website like logthemall.com (thanks LasVegasBones for telling me about it!) which will allow you to log as many trackables at once as you'd like, which makes the process much faster!

I hope you have fun discovering, moving, buying or just logging trackables, you may find some really unique ones out there!  Difficulty and Terrain ratings are based upon the difficulty of finding and logging 150 trackables, the actual cache should be easy for you to find.  The container is big enough for small SWAG and of course, small trackables!  Make sure you keep it hidden so muggles don't find it!

Continuing my mystery/challenge quest for the day - despite the ominous black clouds that amassed while I was at work - I did a walking stent along the MAX bike path with this cache as my first stop. The cache container was missing but I found the old log sheet and what looks like the remains of the original container so put pen to paper then tried to cover everything as best I could. As for the challenge requirements, as my public profile shows I have currently discovered/moved 228 trackables. Not yet enough for your other challenge cache but I'm getting there! Thanks for the smiley and helping set those geocaching goals!

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.
Writing a note until I can check.

You made it with 24762 trackables dicovered and you only needed 150

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... Le 4 et le 5 septembre nous étions dans la région de Colorado Spring, CO... Aujourd’hui nous nous dirigeons vers Fort Collins, CO...

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

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... On September 4th and 5th we were in the Colorado Spring area, CO ... Today we are heading to Fort Collins, CO

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
