The cache is located at the listed coordinates

but

This is a challenge cache. You must complete the geo-challenge before logging this cache.

---

This is a different type of challenge that is not so one dimensional.

Below is a 5 x 5 grid – a BINGO card – with various geocaching activities. Complete all five in a row, column, diagonal, or I’ll even allow four corners plus the middle. Once you have a BINGO, go out and find the cache. I'm not picky about how you document your completion of the requirements, but please document each square you used somehow. Logs without documentation will be deleted.

One other rule – each winner must take a different "bingo" line than was used during the prior two completions. This should help vary the activities.

The cache owner also reserves the right to change any activity if problems are found.

1. May now be inactive
2. Out moving in caches or other people's hands
3. As of 12/19/08: Traditional, Multi, Mystery/Puzzle, Letterbox, Wherigo, Event, CITO, and EarthCache
   
4. As documented by new active (10+ finds) accounts
5. Not as a set of tags - just a single TB

Out picking up some caches with COpackrat, enjoying the beautiful weather! Will have to review my stats and see if I qualify. Thanks for placing this cache.

Update 6/30/19: I do qualify, but get to wait my turn to log, since I qualify with the same row as the previous finder!

Today, after the Jim Reeb event, I teamed up with @2lablovers to grab a few caches. Along the way we saw pronghorn, deer, and several Raptors. We grabbed a multi, a challenge cache, and several traditionals ending our day together at the north end of Colorado Springs. After they went back home, I continued the hunt and grabbed a few more before heading back to Aurora. It's always fun to go geocaching. It's even more fun to do it with friends!
Found it after a search. Now I have to go home and find out if I qualify somewhere in the grid. Tftc!

Caching with @LostinDenver after the Jim Reeb puzzle event. Signed this one - will have to check to see if we qualify. Love challenge caches and this is certainly a challenging one !

What a fun, challenging idea this bingo is! There's a challenge geoart outside Hatch, New Mexico, and one of its caches is a bingo like this, except the CO wants every finder to have two lines completely filled. That one is tough, and one we're still working on.

We hope to find this cache on our trip to CO this summer. In the meanwhile, I'm happy to note that I meet the quals (if only barely). Thanks, mtn_goat! I do hope we meet you someday.

Filling up the vertical column "I" (so glad the cacher before me didn't claim this, as it's the only one I can qualify for), I have:

• Found 116 caches in one day on 6.30.2108 (verifiable on my profile page)

• Found 6044 traditionals, 167 multis, 598 mysteries, 56 letterboxes, 26 wherigos, 37 earthcaches, attended 37 events, and cleaned up at 4 CITOs (as of today's date)

• Found 95 Virtuals (as of today's date)

• Met alamo.team, a cacher from Germany when I attended the "Pirate's Picnic in the Park" event [GC77416] held at Alamogordo, New Mexico, on 7.16.17

• Found 598 mystery/puzzle caches (as of today's date)

Thanks again!!

A couple weeks ago I had to take our youngest son to a Dr appointment in the Springs as a follow-up to his recent knee surgery. While he was at his appointment, my puppy and I took a nice stroll in search of this cache. It did take me about 10 minutes to find it but it is definitely still there. It was then just a matter of coming up with the documentation.

I can finally yell BINGO and write this "Found It" log as it took me a long time to remember where and when I had met a foreign cacher. Today it dawned on me that it was at a Wingin' It event over two years ago. That one block was needed for me to qualify in both the I column and the 4th row. And if I'd ever meet mtn_goat I'd qualify in the diagonal too. But for this log I'll use the 4th row.

I found Tarryall on 7/28/14
I met huizeblauw, from The Netherlands, at 9th Annual Wingin'It, GC67A87, 1/29/17
I have over 50 FTFs, you can find my public FTF List on my Profile page
I have found many caches while tent camping, one example is GC2PZXD, 9/9/15
I retrieved TB3A168 on 9/27/15, it has traveled over 50,000 miles

Thanks mtn_goat for this fine Bingo Challenge!!!

I signed this one a while ago but was waiting to log it due to the ALR of not using the same “bingo” line as the last two loggers. I qualify for the highly popular “I” column. My profile should show most of them, and I met oliphientje and giga10 from the Netherlands a few years ago at an event. TFTC.

No luck
Might be missing, but more likely I just overlooked it

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

We've spent 30+ minutes twice & was unable to locate this cache, pulled on limbs, dug underneath piles of leaves & branches, etc. I'm doubting if this cache is still on location. Per our geocaching experiences have been on "golden oldies" & high D/T rated caches, to find many people have logged a find on groundspeak but didn't sign the log in the cache. This is unethical. So I'm requesting a response from the c.o. to verify this cache. Thxs!

Visiting fearthefish in Denver. We are caching our way through Colorado and the surrounding states on the hunt for old caches, challenges and other cool stuff. Thanks for placing and maintaining all of these wonderful caches!

All logs signed either FTD - “fearthedime” or PowerDime

My profile will show that I qualify with both the I and G columns as well as the 4th horizontal row. Thanks.
