The cache container (lovingly created by my son BoopaBeans) is at the posted coordinates. Since this is a challenge cache, you must complete the requirements of the challenge in order to log your find. Here is the challenge:

I love puzzle caches. I have found many of them all over the country. I also love challenges. This challenge brings my two loves together,

 

Years ago, I signed GC6M9JX - A Year of Unknowns Challenge while visiting California. This was such a fun challenge for me that I decided to bring it here to Colorado. To complete the challenge, you must find 365 puzzle/mystery/unknown caches. That is the easy part.

The hard part is that these finds must be on 365 different days of the year. It doesn't matter what year you made the find, or whether or not the given puzzle cache was in Colorado. What does matter is that you find a mystery cache on every calendar day (and no, you don't get bonus points for finding a cache on 366 different days, though you do have my admiration).

You can stop by and sign the log before you complete the challenge. However, you cannot log your find here until you have completed the challenge AND signed the log.

 

Good luck with the challenge and have fun. Use the project-gc link below to track your progress and include the information from project-gc in your log once you have finished the challenge.

Man what a PITA this challenge was, almost as much as the CO. Since I had long ago done most all the puzzles down my way it meant sometimes daily trip up to the NW Metro area to get a puzzle (with the CO sometimes tagging along in hopes of stopping at Crown Burger!) for months to get this finished. The last month included the "social distancing" although I think I only ran across a couple of people in the last three weeks. Anyway glad that it's done and on to something else (I'm sure once things get back to normal the CO will get me signed up for some other stupid challenge!). TFTC!

I was working on a challenge that required a non-traditional cache every day for a year when I first heard at a Creation Celebration event in March 2019 that they heard that this challenge was going to be hidden in Denver area soon and so I changed it from any non traditional to a mystery every day for the rest of the year as needed. Some days it was a struggle to get another mystery done but finally qualified! Got up to area recently to sign the log so now can log as a find! Thanks fearthefish for the fun and very challenging (for me) challenge.

R&B CO has used Project-GC to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.

366 dates of 365 completed.

After the morning event we headed to Castlewood Canyon State Park for some caches and then on the way home made a slight detour to finally grab this one. This was quite the challenge and I am so glad it’s over !! Thanks for the cache to show our accomplishment !
