Who will be the first to claim Wisconsin’s own version of the well rounded cacher? We can’t, cause we own it!

Come and get it, it’s there for those who dare!
10/06/2008 at 2:27 am #1896701what a great challenge!!
but
All finds (except the Event and CITO Events) must be on caches that were published BEFORE this cache (to avoid “dummy caches” being listed just to meet the requirements)
there are only 5 4.5/4.5 caches already published in Wisconsin and two have not been found in over a year.
I understand why the rule, but what if the new cache is a legitamate 4.5/4.5?

10/06/2008 at 3:01 am #1896702What a cheezy challenge.
🙂
10/06/2008 at 3:36 am #1896703Pete, the caches can be found anywhere, not just Wisconsin (so maybe I need to clarify that in the listing. If there are questions, we can talk. We just don’t want the situation where someone puts out some “tough” cache that isn’t rated fairly, just so a friend can claim this.
Some combinations are just really hard to find. 5/4 was the toughest one for us to find. We got that one in Gurnee IL.
10/06/2008 at 12:59 pm #1896704Ooooooooooooooooooohhhh…and a letterbox to boot! Looks like we have a new mission! Starting to think about that milestone 1,000 cache–could this be the one? 28 squares to go on the bingo sheet is quite a few…
On the Left Side of the Road...10/06/2008 at 1:12 pm #1896705Brutal….even as I near 2,000 finds I have a LONG way to go on this one….
10/06/2008 at 3:39 pm #1896706Ya know, if you really wanted a challenge you could require a find of each cache type for each D/T combination. Now, to find that 5/4 event cache…

I know of a location that would make it a /5 before hard water sets in.
and I think I have a puzzle that would fit the 5/ also.10/06/2008 at 5:17 pm #1896708I pretty much followed suit from other well rounded challenges around the country, and the “placed before” is in most of them. It’s supposed to be tough, but if we could do it….anyone can. It’s not something you’ll be able to complete in your home area.
10/06/2008 at 5:58 pm #1896709Sure just as we get under 20 holes in black out, now we need to find more caches. Still missing a Cito, a Letterbox & the Webcam.
At least I know we will getting a webcam soon, and we are missing most of our 5 terrians, so we have to wait for hard water for them.
Hopefully we can claim this in early spring
10/06/2008 at 6:17 pm #1896710Not surprised to see all the holes in my DT chart, up there with the rest of ya. Heck, I don’t even have a complete column or row to log that other DT related cache that only requires you to have a complete bingo-like set! But then I see that even Sagasu has 17 left to fill…
And Marc 4 digits has a bakers dozen left to get. I think Ralph might be the closest with only 5 holes. I get the feeling this one is going to go un-found for a very long time unless someone specifically takes the challenge head-on. Wonder who that is going to be?
10/06/2008 at 6:53 pm #1896711Wow! Thats a tough challenge – and I think its fitting for only a well rounded cacher to place this kind of cache.
Definately gives a cacher something different to aim for. I’ve got 32/81… See you all again on this thread about the time I retire! 😯 (in 20 yrs or so)…. Maybe since Abby is still young – this will be her legacy… She can try for this when I’m too old to do so 🙂
10/06/2008 at 9:06 pm #1896712He he, just so you all know…..Trekkin’ and I have or will shortly turn 55 this fall. We’re not spring chickens. Like I said…..if we can do it…..
Seriously, the ones we did to fulfill the requirements that were hard combos to find…are also really memorable. Crossing Lake Superior in the waves, snowshoeing across a tamarack swamp, climbing a tree in Illinois and going through antics to make the retrieval…..great stories we’d never be able to tell otherwise, I’m sure!
Go for it!
10/06/2008 at 10:00 pm #1896713Well that was my 1st time to the place that is not about the numbers.
10/06/2008 at 11:37 pm #1896714So happens on challenges like this if the owner of any of the caches you find decides that the difficulty or terrain is “not right” and changes it. Or they change it based on the seasons. You think you found one and then you didn’t!
Always willing to play devils advocate.
