Any one else notice this email update from GS, no more new Challenge Caches can be created for a year 
Pause on New Challenge Caches
Challenge caches allow geocache owners to create “challenges” you have to accomplish before you can log a specific geocache, like meeting the challenge of finding a geocache on every day of the year. They’re fun. But as challenge caches have grown in the geocaching community over the last decade, they’ve also often caused confusion and are difficult to wrangle for community volunteer reviewers.
That’s why, effective April 21, 2015, we’re pausing accepting any submissions for new challenge caches for one year. You’ll still be able to play and enjoy the thousands of challenge caches already active around the world.
