 |
|
So for those of you who are either really close to fulfilling the Fizzy Challenge, or for those who have already completed the impressive feat, I'm wondering what you think is the hardest combination is fulfill? To the outsider, one may think the 5/5 is the hardest, but by doing some random looking at cache stats, I see many cachers, across the country, with mulitiple 5/5s and still missing plenty of other grid combos.
For those of us located in Minnesota, I suppose (although I haven't done the homework) that there may be some combos that are very rare and I guess ultimately that's my question - what are the rarest combos to find.
I was going to do a poll, but realized that would involve too many possibilities.
Open for discussion! |

| I only have six left. Four of them require a 4.5. The other two a 5. Surprisingly one is a 1/4.5. I don't too often travel to cache, however I often cache when traveling. These last six must be either far from my radius, or involve a challenge I have no hope or interest in completing. I hope to pick up a few more this winter and a goal is to finish sometime in 2012. |

| The 4.5/5 was the hardest for me to fullfil. But now I have two of them. |

If you are ever going up North on I-35 stop and get GC2N04Q in Forest Lake. It is an easy 1/4.5 just off the highway. |

| Looking at it I think a 5/3 is the hardest. There are 2 that I have found in a 80 mile radius of Maple Grove |

| I am struggling with 5/3.5 and 3.5/5. The sick part is that I have DNF'ed a 5/3.5 twice. |

hmm well not anymore. Unless I can convince the CO to change the terrain to what it really is, a 3.5.

Agreed. I only need three more: 5/3.5, 4.5/4.5, 1/4.5 |

I bet the challenge would be a lot easier if you could pick your own ratings...

Watch for falling rocks GC13X1C in Duluth is a fun 4.5/4.5. You might need to bring a step stool though! Oh, and wait until it is back in place, I guess it is disabled.
