New Challenge - Oregon Fizzy
This is all I need - another challenge cache!
This challenge in a nutshell is an attempt to get folks to become “well-rounded” geocachers. What does that mean? All geocaches are rated by the hider from 1 to 5 for two categories - Difficulty and Terrain (D/T). These ratings are assigned to the nearest one-half ( 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 etc). This makes for 81 total possible combinations of D/T ratings. So to be a well-rounded cacher one should attempt to find at least one cache with each of the 81 possible combinations.
Oregon is just the latest state to have it’s own “Fizzy” challenge. But now where does the name “Fizzy” come from? Just check out GC11E8N.
When I first saw the Oregon version get published I quickly checked my list of found caches and discovered that I already had 53 of the possible 81 combinations! Woohoo only 27 more to go!
