September Wheel of Challenges???

[+geoBirder]

Curious if anyone has any thoughts on what next month’s challenge might be. Is it truly luck of the draw (spin), or is HQ following a pattern? Thanks!

I'm hoping for the Friend League.

It is absolutely not by luck of the draw!

What would the Friend League entail? Just going geocaching with friends? Or like that “Friend to Find (FTF challenge) that was out a few years ago?

You have to contribute some points yourself, but everyone on your friends list contributes points to a total. If you get enough points you get the souvenir.

Thank you! I had totally forgotten about that challenge.

My guess is they film spinning the wheel enough times each month to get a new challenge they haven't had yet, so a small degree of random that excludes duplicates.

If the pattern was chosen beforehand, I don't think there would have been the two streak challenges in a row.

I am worried about a challenge involving multis, so I have been purposely finding fewer multis this summer.  Probably not what the challenges were intended to do, but since I generally hate multis, any that I have final coordinates for are potentially precious.

I wanted to try to fill my calendar grids for letterbox and multi finds, but there are so few left near home that I've skipping so many the last few months. If there's a wheel challenge requiring either of those it'll give me more incentive to go farther for it on any day I already need one

These challenges do exactly what HQ says challenge caches are not allowed to do, which is to negatively influence my caching.  I end up getting 'just what I need', and saving all the rest because I feel I will need them for the next part of the challenges.

100% agree.

 

I also save all my nearby ECs for the yearly souvenir.
