I have considered, at one time or another, a county challenge, where you have to find a cache in each county starting with the same letter as the county.

Or, find a cache in each county seat?

The nearest black out challenge is in Minnesota, but the finds can be anywhere. Plus there are challenges like Zuma’s Northwoods 12 Pack and Trekin & Birdin’s I hope youre hungry challenges which really are chllenges based on favorite chaches of that cacher.

Being somewhat addicted to the challenge caches it would be nice to see a listing of all plus maybe get a discussion of going of challenges that we have seen in other areas that we could get done here. I have seen Centential caches which a person has to have 100 puzzles, or 100 multis, etc, I have seen a challenge where you have to get a cache placed by a cache owner whose first letter of their caching name represents each leter of the alphabet (ie Zuma=Z)

I’m actually very excited about these lists; I plan to get working on the total blackout….I find myself due for a new goal attempt….I’m in another slump, I have not found a cache yet this month 🙁 It seems my OCD has taken another path.

Thraxman, I like your response. All be it a little silly, but then again a lot of these challenges are somewhat a little silly also (I don’t consider county challenges, Delorme or blackout silly).
But the fact is many of us are challenge oriented, to us it is what keeps the game interesting. My point is there is no reason we cant steal (borrow) ideas from other areas and incorporate them here.
My suggestion is if you see another challenge that looks interesting, even if it not in Wisconsin, post the GC here and maybe somebody will like the idea and run with it.
I myself have looked at other states challenges because I think that they offer us ideas

I heard of the “Bakers Dozen” challenge in MI.
Day one you only do one cache.
Day two you do two.
All the way to 13.. only getting the number for that day.

Sounded intersting just won’t work in our area for us. Our 50 remains empty 😥

I know you asked for WI challenges but posting these might encourage someone to create these challenges here…

A challenge which is dear to my heart is GC1D56M “A Century of Earthcaches” in North Carolina.

…and the same thing in Utah GC18W7C “Challenge of the Century: Earthcaches .”

…and in CA, GC1E8E1 “California Challenge of a Century: Earthcache.”

One in MN combining ECs and Virtuals is GC1F2JP “Century Challenges – Virtual/Earthcache.”

…and another of those in Indiana, GC1A8GQ “Challenge of the Century: Virtual and Earthcaches.”

What about a nice 5 across challenge?:

I prefer the challenges to be simple and really hard to complete…though ones like this are more attainable to the populous (though that is not necessarily a good thing as it diminishes the grandeur of other extreme challenges).
