Cache Carnival
By: Griff Grof Date: March 25, 2019, 8:58 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Six souvenirs are up for grabs from today until April 14th.
To earn the first five, you’ve got to accumulate points on your
leaderboard (previously Friend League). You get more points for
finding caches with a high number of favourite points.
There are also 25 points up for grabs if you receive a favourite
point on one of your own caches.
The sixth souvenir can be earnt by attending an official
Creation Celebrations event.

What do you think about this souvenir challenge? I think it’s a
good idea as it promotes quality and creative caches above
standard film pots and bisons.
Feel free to share your progress here as the Carnival
progresses.

Souvenirs have never really gotten me exited. This though I
think is generally a step in the right direction. It's even
possible for people who rarely find caches, but who own some
high quality ones to get a souvenir for their previous efforts
in putting out great hides with people awarding them fav points.

We have already got 4 of the souvenirs and don't know how we got
them! Doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to us as we weren't
even trying.

I’ve got 3 so far and haven’t even been out caching! That’s just
from favourite points on a couple of my own caches.

"What do you think about this souvenir challenge?"
To be polite - rubbish, you could have stopped caching and earn
all the souvenirs - who thought this bit of rubbish up :(

Exactly.
It’s also problematic as you could persuade others to add
favourite points to your caches so that you earn the souvenirs
quickly :o >:( - most will play by the rules, but still, it’s
not very well thought out!

I've now got 4 out of the 5, just with standard caching i.e. not
trying to earn these souvenirs. Not sure if any if from Fav
Points.
I'm trying to clear all caches up to 14 miles away 8) I've got
73 to go but nine of them are missing :( another one involves
climbing gear and two puzzles I've not got a clue how to work
out :o :(

o/GC815D5, you even have to climb to get the
final co-ordinates as I've been and looked :) and GC83QQA- CQ CQ

o/GC83QQA I've tried a few guesses but out of
ideas.
The other puzzle is GC3WYMN- Tactically Clever Placing

the CO's caches, our brains are wired differently :o
