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 . Now it's time for some speculation. The icons shown on the wheel are making me think about what the challenges might be. There's a Star, a Question Mark, a Heart, a Smiley Face, a Car and People.

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 ...
