I guess a brief history lesson would be appropriate here. In our second year of caching, while traveling back to Suffolk after a long day of caching, we would talk about the best cache of day. It didn't take long for this to develop into The "COVETED" SNAP!!! Cache of the Day Award.
The idea of a Cache of the year came to us in 2011. We took each of the winners of the Cache of the Day and laid them all out and eventually came down to 3 or 4 best of the year.
This year, just like last year, we are having a terrible time figuring out who the winner is.
So far, we have worked on the list and have the FINAL 13.
We will continue to work our list down and eventually we will name the winner!
So, here are the FINAL 13! Note: they are listed in the order we found them.
Back in February we joined some other cachers and had a great time finding:
GC5FW2E - CACHER "SAR" NIGHT TRAINING
- hidden by steve-n-kim
A really well laid out multi-cache.
Also in February we teamed up with jtmlam59 and managed to locate:
GC6ZCEA - Happy Retirees #6 - hidden by geospillz.
This cache had been publsihed for 2 weeks before our group managed a FTF!!!.
In March we found a well crafted cache - GC6B4V0 - GATEKEEPER

a group of us managed to locate:

the Duck geo-art on the Outer Banks. The best cache that day was:
