This is a Challenge Cache.  To mark this cache as found you must meet the requirements listed below!

Congrats Denali41 (and Orizaba) on a verified FTF!


This cache IS located at the given coordinates, however you must prove you qualify for this cache.

This challenge is just another reward for finding a cache every day.  This one requires you to find one for 122 days in a row!  As of 12/11/14 I finally made it to 122 days in a row myself so I figured it was time for another challenge!

There are plenty of other streak-challenges around, I have one out there for 30 days and 63 days, there is one down near Longmont for 100 days, and Team Kaiketsu has one for 183 days as well as 366 days.  This is meant to be yet another stepping stone along the way to a year's worth of caching!

Keep in mind that challenge caches are NOT mandatory, but they are meant to be a reward for doing something exceptional, as well as something for you to shoot for along the way!  Not everyone can cache every day of the year, which is why I'm trying to add some lesser amounts as stepping-stones for thsoe of you who cannot make it the full year.  This is one of those, and only requires you to cache for approximately 1/3 of the year! 

To qualify for this challenge, you must let me know in your post your longest streak.  It does not have to be an active streak, it can be one you have done in the past.  To verify you have met the requirments, you either need to have your profile set to public so I can verify your streak, or post a screen shot of your statistics page.  If you do not post your qualifications in a timely manner, your post may be deleted and FTF status is dependent upon quick verification so make sure you get your information up there ASAP!

You may also do a "write note" saying you have signed the log, and once you qualify you are allowed to change it to a Found It log.  This way if you are visiting or from out of town, you won't have to come back to sign the log once you qualify.

Challenges are meant to be fun and a rewarding way of geocaching other than just finding one cache after another.  Keep in mind the difficulty and terrain of this challenge indicate that you will be needing to find a cache every day for at least 4 months, and that you will probably have to travel further than a few miles for some of them eventually.  I know that many people already qualify for this cache, but it is meant as a stepping-stone for those of us who haven't made it to the year-long challenge yet!

Waiting for breakfast nearby and I saw that I qualified for this challenge. Made the short walk to GZ and was able to quickly sign and replace. I have a streak of 367 days which can be viewed on my profile. TFTC!

Today was apparently a very good day to sit in cars and smoke - never mind I thought it was incredibly too hot to be outside on black pavement or sitting in a car! Once again, I think cell phones saved me a longer wait though as I used my body to obscure the lift and sign for this cache container. I started my first ever geostreak on January 5th of this year with the goal being 100 consecutive days. Part way through the streak, I wandered upon this challenge cache so modified my streak goal to 122 days. That was over a month ago and I'm still going though I don't know that it'll continue much longer. It is ever so much more fun to find all the caches in an area rather than just look for one in order to not deplete the potential pool of smilies too quickly! Anywho - I still used a checker to ensure I got a nice little print out as evidence of my streak so:

marmotandgoatcachers has used Project-GC to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.

Thanks for the motivation to keep my streak going a bit longer!

Hello from the East Coast :) Up to day 370 of my streak, so I qualify. I go to Boulder and Fort Collins occasionally, so hope to search for this one of these days. Thanks for hiding it!
