All right, well, let's see what this challenge log has to say, shall we? The log says, after the discussion of cache logs that reflect some efforts, this one showed up in my inbox.

Okay, so this is the setup.

The log, GL1Q, or excuse me, GL1, Golf Echo Bravo Echo Quebec 3 is from the Wild Rose of Texas, and one of the challenges it had in Flagstaff.

Unfortunately, the 3D printed pine cones didn't stand up to Geo Woodstock traffic.

So Mountain Wandering Challenge Senior Edition, GC Alpha Alpha 86 Tango, was archived.

But I'm still seeing occasional qualifying logs, though none like this one.

Okay, so here's the log.

This one sat, starred, upon my map.

A challenge bold, no simple tap.

Boxes to check and miles to roam, the kind that turns the hunt to home.

Through finds and fields and logs I wrote, each step a line, each cache a note.

Slowly the list came into view, one by one, then finally through.

A test of patience, grit and grin, of where I've been and where I've been in.

The kind of goal that pulls you far, then rewards you right where you are.

Today I stand with qualls in hand, a long-earned smiley, just as planned.

A victory stitched from trails and time, this find feels extra, extra fine.

Many thanks to the CO for crafting this quest.

These are the caches I love the best.

So many boxes checked for me, and now this smiley.

Officially, the Wild Rose of Texas has used Project GC to see if they qualified for this challenge, and they did.

It's like the disclaimer text.

I was just going to say that.
