The Texas Challenge is an annual weekend load of events held by the Texas Geocaching Association. Each year, the responsibilities of hosting the Texas Challenge rotates to a regional team to organize the majority of the weekend. If you have ever wanted an excuse to escape for a weekend, and get out and geocache a new place with a bunch of other geocachers from across the state, this is it. The Texas Challenge weekend is centered around a grueling contest that pits geocachers from across the state in a friendly competition to see which region of the state can find the most caches during a 4 hour time crunch. The winning regional team takes home the coveted Golden Ammo Can.
The whole weekend is non-stop geocaching goodness gobbed greatly with games and goodies. Trackable trading is a major activity, as well as trail story swapping and vendor swag buying. You will never get an opportunity in Texas to geocache with so many other geocachers at once.
