Challenge cache: Given coordinates are correct, but since this is a Challenge cache you will have to fulfill some requirements before logging the cache. Difficulty is based on the Challenge. Actual Cache difficulty for the Final container is 1.5. Found logs from cachers who do not fulfill the requirement will be deleted. If you visit the cache without fulfilling the requirements you can log with a note as a placeholder for when you complete the Challenge.

First, HUGE thanks to ganja1447 who owns the first 360 challenge, which is in Sweden. 360 challenge in Sweden.

Rules: To be allowed to log this cache, you will have to fulfill a requirement. The requirement is to have logged at least on cache for each degree interval around the Challenge cache. Only caches within Colorado count. All cache types including Events may be used, including archived caches. For caches which do not have it's final coordinates where the cache is plotted, for example Unknown caches, the coordinates where they are plotted on the map are those that counts. Not the final the coordinates.

In other words, you must at least one cache, of any type which is within 0-1 degrees bearing from the Challenge cache itself, within Colorado. And at least another one for 1-2 degrees bearing and so on, up to the 359-360 degrees span. You will need at least 360 logged caches to reach the requirement.

Help: tool There is a tool available to help you find what degrees you have and which you need, you can check it out at Project-GC Link to Checker for this Cache.

It should give you all the help you need. Naturally, if you wish to utilize your own method to record your compliance with the cache, please post the details of your process and it's all good. IF YOU ELECT TO PROVIDE YOUR COMPLIANCE METHOD IN A MANNER NOT EASILY DECIPHERED, BE PREPARED TO EXPLAIN IT FOR CLARITY, OR YOUR LOG WILL NOT BE VIEWED AS VALID.

Your log: You do not have to write anything special in your log as a proof although we would LOVE it (completely optional!) if you would post a pic that shows you meet all the degrees. It would also be fun if you DON'T meet the requirements, if you'd like to post a pic (again completely optional) for where you are in terms of accomplishing the Challenge when you first hear of it.

Sister caches: There are plenty of 360-challenges all over the world today. Ganga1447, the creator of the original Challenge, maintains a bookmark list that should include them all, Worldwide Sister Cache Bookmark.

Five local geocachers already have completed all degrees and are qualified for this Challenge. Five more are within a couple of degrees. We are currently above 300 degrees and our progress is the background photo for the cache.

I'm the CO for the MN 360 challenge cache, GC54WYC. I've traveled to CO a few times so I wanted to see how close I was. I fear it may be a while, a long while:

Just signing and adding the trip log to these now and will log a find once we are home and able to see if we qualify. If we do I will update the log to a find.

Signed log but have more cache finds required before I can log as a find.

This challenge was a lot of fun for me. I saw lots of places in this great state that I never would have seen otherwise. Special thanks to heh324 for being willing to go on many a day trip with me to complete this challenge. I never would have finished this without her help and companionship.

This one definitely gets a favorite point for all the fun times I had and cool places I went to picking up degrees. Thanks for coming up with this fun challenge.

P. S. No animals (human or otherwise) were harmed in the writing of this log.

P. P. S. Photo attached with nothing but green degrees.

Was in the area so thought I would sign this one. Still a while before I finish qualification.

My 18 mile bike ride brought me to this cache today at 1230 pm when I made the find. Thanks for the cache and for making my route more fun!

I used the checker recently to see if I qualified and sure enough I did. So on my next bike ride in the area, today, I stopped to sign the log. A screen capture shows that I managed to somehow get all 360.

Love cache container. Slowly closing in on this- about 30 more to go. Thanks for a fun challenge that I hope to achieve by summer

I first saw this cache right after I moved here in November 2016. I ran the checker and it came back with 18. Yup, you read that right... 1 - 8. Oddly enough, my mom really got into me working on this cache, asking all the time how many rays I was up to. I've worked on this here and there, and I've worked up to 133. I'll see what I can do by the end of the year! Thanks for the awesome challenge!
