GGA Challenge #9 - Exploring Georgia!

  • Challenge Period: Monday 4/26/21 to Sunday 5/9/21
  • Deadline for Submitting Proof: Wednesday 5/12/21 by 11:59 PM
  • Points apply to: June GGA drawing, prizes to be awarded at the June event

As you know, our focus for the challenges this year has been on why geocaching in Georgia is so special compared to any other state. Georgia has such a diverse landscape from forests, to mountains to rivers and to the sea, our state has something for everyone! For this challenge period, we want you to explore Georgia! You will be finding caches that have one of these specific attributes on the cache page - Tourist Friendly or Scenic View. Let's get out and see why cache hiders feel these locations are special. If you agree, please drop a FP for the cache owner!

Any cache type is acceptable for this challenge. The only limitation is the above mentioned attributes. The easiest way to plan your journey, is to do a filter search on Geocaching.com. I would suggest doing two searches, one for each attribute. If you select both attributes in the same search, it will only show caches that have both of the attributes and not one or the other.

 

Wanderer level - Find 3 caches with either attribute.

Seeker level - Find 6 caches with either attribute.

Explorer level - Find 12 caches with either attribute.

Adventurer level - Find 24 caches with either attribute.

 

Bonus options:  The following bonuses are available for Seeker, Explorer and Adventurer levels only. Only 1 bonus allowed.

  • Invite a fellow cacher who has not played in the challenges to complete this challenge. Both you and your friend should mention each other when you submit your proof. You may substitute 2 caches as a bonus.
  • Publish your own cache with any of the above mentioned attributes in the title during the challenge period. Include the GC code in your proof. You can substitute 2 caches as a bonus. 
  • Attend the May GGA event (GC99VQJ). You can substitute 2 caches as a bonus.
