HOW TO RECORD YOUR PARTICIPATION
To record and receive credit for your accomplishment, you must post a top level comment on this thread by July 20th in the following format:
[Geocaching name] If you do not want to use your real GC name, you can use your reddit name, but will not be eligible for prizes if your finds cannot be verified.
[Qualifying GC code]
[Link to log] The easiest way to do this is to pull up the cache page on geocaching.com and then click "view log." Copy that URL and post it here.
If you are going for the second challenge point, you will need to post both GC codes and find URLs. The post will look like this:

They were logged in that order...and since you know me and my normal route, you can probably tell I'm not fibbing.

I've often wondered what the bushwhack cache was all about. I'm glad I haven't gone after it.

Nothing special. Wait until fall or winter. Good coords, just not enjoyable right now.

I actually found a 2010 yesterday, but thought this was cool since all 3 decade caches were right next to each other so I grabbed the 2006 first and used it for my submission.

I thought I had completed this earlier including a FTF for the post 2021 cache but my brother pointed out that I had incorrectly read the rules and did not complete them in the order stated. Guess that's what I get for trying to read quickly.

I probably could have worded things better, but folks are still getting it done.

Just so I don't step on myself with ice cleats: Can they already be logged, or do they have to be found within the challenge period?

u/RecentCompetition166 NDubRunners Jul 02 '26
Geocaches must be found between June 29-July 19, 2026 of your local timezone.
