Points applied to: April GGA Drawing. Due to being CITO month and cito events will be held all over the state, drawing will take place the second weekend in April, live-streamed on Facebook and then also posted on the forums.

So did you know that there are only 4 caches in the world that were hidden in August 2000 and one is located in Georgia? Lake Lanier (GC21) was hidden 8/16/2000, has been found over 3200 times and has earned 1226 favorite points, which is 49% of the finds! Those finds come from all over the world from people trying to complete their Jasmer grids!

For this challenge we are going to explore the Jasmer! The Jasmer Challenge is one of the holy grail grids for geocachers. To earn it, one must find a cache hidden in each month of every year since geocaching began. It’s a goal that brings cachers far and wide and allows us to learn about how the game has evolved since it’s inception. For this challenge it can give you a jump start on your Jasmer grid if you haven’t started it yet, or lets you work your way to a double, triple, or quadruple one if you’ve already earned it. It doesn’t matter what year or years you choose to complete this, as long as they are consecutive. (Example - you may find September 2014-March 2015 to earn the Seeker level)

Wanderer level - Find 3 caches hidden in 3 consecutive months!

Seeker level - Find 6 caches hidden in 6 consecutive months!

Explorer level - Find 12 caches hidden in 12 consecutive months!

Adventurer level - Find 20 caches hidden in 20 consecutive months!

You may substitute 1 month by encouraging another Cacher to complete this challenge. Both you and your friend should mention each other when you submit your proof.

You may also substitute 1 month by hiding your own cache to help people keep their Jasmer current! Please mention the GC code in your proof.

Send your proof of completion to ggachallenges2021@gmail.com by the deadline to earn your points and chances in the April drawing (prizes to be distributed at the May event)! Include the following details in your email:

  • Your geo-nick
  • Your real name
  • The level for which you qualify
  • Your qualifying caches with dates found
  • Please tell me if you published a cache (GC code) and/or encouraged another player to complete the challenge (include his/her name).

Please feel free to share any non spoiler photos from your adventures in the 2021 album on FB!
