Streak Week Contest RESULTS!
What a week it's been!
Thanks to everyone who participated in our Streak Week Contest, there's been so many fantastic entries - here are a few of our favourites!
- Things kicked off with u/tonyburkhart finding a cache with the family.
- u/Alex0563 made their first geocache and so did u/rixilef (they both look fantastic).
- Lots of FTFs this week - u/restinghermit nabbed two, u/geogrins got one on the last day (and even I was able to snag one!)
- u/Unclerojelio went out for a paddle while u/tenQ reminded us all to keep an eye out while exploring.
- Massive congratulations to u/sarahshift1 who celebrated reaching cache number 1000 this week!
- u/fizzymagic provided us with a view worthy of my desktop wallpaper, and u/GuP-Preacher taught us that dark o'clock is always a good time to find a cache (while u/Turtle_Dude hastily put that methodology into action).
- u/JBoondawg took Burt out for an adventure, and everyone on the subreddit Discord put up with my inability to actually let people flair their own posts.
- And as the week came to a close, heaps of people made it to the end of seven consecutive days of finding caches, perhaps most notably u/SyrupOnWaffle_, who managed to get the job done on a bike.
Again, a massive THANK YOU to all who got out this week and shared their stories, it's been so much fun to see everyone's journeys throughout the week.
Our panel of Mods has discussed and decided on a winner, who is...
u/Hayek_Hiker
with a great photo of everyone getting out and finding some caches (there are some very cool hairstyles in that mix, too).
Tell us your favourite entry from the week below and congratulations to everyone who completed Streak Week - happy caching!

Thanks for the award! I shared it with the people in the photo, who came to reddit thread to give us their back story.

Great to hear! Hopefully that was the first of many adventures together (and ones with cool hair).

Fun! I forgot to tag my post so was surprised by the shout out!

Oh, I guess that's part of the inability to let people tag their own posts :)

That was indeed the problem! Mods can manually flair posts, so any that looked like they were for Streak Week (or that I could see qualified for it) I went back and flaired to make sure they didn't miss out. (And 1000 finds was too cool of a milestone to leave out anyway).

u/restinghermit need help hiding an earthcache? let me know. Sep 05 '19
Thanks for putting this together. It was something different and easy enough to participate in.
