This will help.... upload your myfinds.zip and it will do the rest.T-Hunter wrote:not sure how to check mine since I am a non gsak user
Placed Date Calendar Calculator
Note: This particular calculator excludes "events" so if the 366 cache challenge allows events this will short change you.

I'm also using this macro - PlacedDatesNotFound.gsk - to show me which finds in my GSAK database that I haven't found yet would qualify me for the cache.

Re: Date placed challenge?
Thanks for the info guys. I had earlier used another GSAK macro, couldn't find the other one that is much better. Have all 366 dates done already, but I hesitate to put another challenge out there because only a dozen or less local people ever do those. My Swirly Challenge has only attracted 6 people, and its not difficult.
If somebody else wanted to do it, I'd log it.

Re: Date placed challenge?
Just checked out that GC2NYRM. A pill bottle on a guard rail.
Shouldn't the cache difficulty be somewhat commensurate with the challenge difficulty? It doesn't have to be something that would require a 12 mile canoe trip, or rappelling down a cliff, but at least get me out in the woods to find a good container. Just sayin.....

I suppose the hard part was getting there in the first place. Doing all of the work and then not finding the final would be a bummer.

Looks like I have all 366, but the existing caches are a little far for now...Handyman-N-Fam wrote:I currently qualify for 365. As of next Wednesday I will qualify for 366.

Re: Date placed challenge?
So far, I think I'm the only one here who has NOT qualified for it. I'm not certain how many other cachers would try to qualify. I suppose if you exclude event caches it would make it slightly more difficult but even then I don't know how many people would go for it (besides me.... I'm always in for another challenge).
Oh... Pax says he's in as well.
