With only days to spare, we completed our 7 Souvenirs of August challenge. We attended an event cache, logged our sixth and final cache requirement and were rewarded with the 7th souvenir – the Achiever.  Some cachers, much more motivated than I, actually knocked all of them out within hours of the challenge.

As a bonus, this cache has a traditional cache, benchmark and Munzee all within a 100 feet of it!...
