GGA Challenge #12 - Happy Birthday... Starring the GGA!

  • Challenge Period: Monday 6/7/21 to Sunday 6/20/21
  • Deadline for Submitting Proof: Wednesday 6/23/21 by 11:59 pm
  • Points Apply to: July drawing

June 9th is the 20th anniversary of the world's oldest geocaching organization! The GGA is the star of this month and Georgia geocaches are the star of this challenge! And you are all stars for playing along!

Wanderer level - Find caches that equal 20 stars!

Seeker level - Find caches that equal 33 stars! (For the North degrees of the GGA birthday event coordinates!) 

Explorer level - Find caches that equal 51 stars! (For the number of characters in Georgia Geocachers Association 20th Birthday Celebration!)

Adventurer level - Find caches that equal 84 stars! (For the West degrees of the GGA birthday event coordinates!)

By stars, we mean the number of D stars plus the number of T stars in caches. So for example, a 1/1 is worth 2 stars and a 5/5 is worth 10. So one way that you could earn the Seeker level is by finding 8 x 1.5/1.5, a 2.5/3 and a 1.5/2. 

Bonus options: Available for all levels

  • You may substiture 20 Stars by attending the GGA birthday celebration! (Yes, this means just attending the GGA event will get you Wanderer level!!)  
  • You may substitute 8 Stars (the number of "attended" logs on the first event 20 years ago!) by uploading non-spoiler photos with either yourself or the letters GGA from one of the caches from this challenge (3 (for the letters GGA) extra in addition to the 8 if the pictures are from the birthday event!!) to the 2021 album on Facebook and/or tag the GGA on Instagram @georgiageocachers
