From April 3 through April 30, three souvenirs of differing difficulty levels can be earned by logging finds: Easy - 5 finds Medium - 10 finds Hard - 100 finds You can watch the video of the wheel spin here .

This is pure conjecture, of course, but it seems logical. I'm always up for a good souvenir campaign, but I'm just hoping that certain challenges, like the streak challenge, don't occur in May, August or September, when I'll be spending a week of vacation in places that have limited to no access to caches (on a cruise ship in the
