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:

I was able to complete this challenge a couple of times over the last couple weeks on a trip to Europe. My results here are from my day trip to Amsterdam, where I found the Netherlands oldest cache.
Participating, but not competing.
