This cache is intended to honor those Cachers that are truly committed to this ideal. All one has to do to claim this Mystery Cache is to log a cache in every California County and post your finds as shown below. Sounds simple enough?! Check updated waypoints for parking and final cache location. California is the greatest state in the union, so go see it!

Team Geo-Rangers accomplished this feat on August 5th, 2005. Now it's your turn to "geo-range!"
Log all 58 county finds, then email Team Geo-Rangers your list, and we will email you the exact coordinates of the final cache to find or just review the note on the cache page entered on 8/7/15. The California DeLorme Challenge (GCHANH) helps with the Northern California Counties!

There is a cache and logbook hidden in Riverside County but not at the posted coordinates. Credit for this cache may only occur upon finding the final CA Mystery Cache in Riverside County!
Other Rules:
- You do not need to do the exact same caches as Team Geo-Rangers with the exception of the last Mystery physical cache "Logging California's 58 Counties" in Riverside County. You can not claim credit for just this one physical cache in Riverside County without finding caches in all 58 counties.
- One can not claim one's own cache for any county.
- Found Cache types may be traditional cache(C), Multi-cache (M), Mystery (Mys), LetterBox (LB), Earth (E), Virtual (V), and Locationless/Reverse (L/R) with extra credit and bragging rights for at least one of each! Newer icons are allowed too. (e.g. Webcam).
- Post in County alphabetical order per the cache description. Cut and paste the list on the cache description to make it easier.
- Incomplete postings logged as finds will be deleted! Each cacher is allowed to post a note with those found and add to the SAME NOTE over time until logging 58, thus converting the note into a find after finding the final mystery cache. This is highly encouraged! Chit chat type posts will remain for a brief time but may be deleted to keep the focus on the CA race to 58 (+1)!
Excel helps compile finds for posting; please share your favorite cache in each CA county or list all 58 in a bookmark!
With your note, one may wish to add a CA map generated by a web tool.
Good Luck - YOU MAY NEED IT!
