Challenge
THIS IS A CHALLENGE CACHE. THERE IS A CONTAINER AT THE POSTED COORDINATES, HOWEVER, YOU MUST COMPLETE THE CHALLENGE BEFORE LOGGING THE CACHE.
The gate to the rifle range is now closed this adds .4 of a walk to the final but it is on a gravel road. I've added coordinates to the closest parking

Questions and Answers:
1. Do previous finds count? - Yes
2. What if the Top 10 in West Virginia change before I finish finding them? - You only need to find the Top 10 that you opted in for as posted in your note.
3. If the Top 10 changed and I like that list better can I start all over? - Sure, just delete your first note listing, post a new opt in list and continue with your Top 10 challenge.
4. What if there is a tie for say 8th place? - Just count ten favorites down from the #1. That's your qualifying Top 10.
5. What if there is a tie for 10th place? - Pick the one you want.
6. Can I substitute favorites from other states? - No this challenge is for caches in the state of West Virginia only.
7. Is there a time limit? - No, you can take as many days, weeks, months or years as you want to finish.
8. If the West Virginia Top 10 challenge cache ever makes it to the Top 10 favorites in West Virginia will it count? - No, skip it and go find the next one.
9. I am the cache owner of a Top 10 listed cache can I count it as a qualifier? – No, please refer back to rule 8 on this matter.
10. I adopted a cache that is in the Top 10, can I count it? - Well if you have actually been there where it is hidden and/or completed that caches finding requirements yourself prior to adopting it, then sure why not.
11. What if one of my opt in Top 10 get archived before I find the final? - Two answers for that one. If you already found the archived cache you opted in for then it still counts. If you had not found the archived cache yet then you need to make an adjustment to your list.
