This mystery cache is primarily about the braggin' rights, the
stories and the adventure! Over time, the logs will contain the

this epic geocaching adventure!
The spirit of this cache is to visit all 92 counties, in person,
and find a cache.
To get credit for this find you must take the following
steps:
1. Find one cache in each of Indiana's 92 counties

3. Send me:
- an email that you've uploaded your latest finds on
www.ItsNotAboutTheNumbers.com which will show me your finds by
county [preferred method] OR

Just finished up the counties on Saturday. Made one last 13 hour/665 mile dash to get the last 21 counties down south before we move out of the state. As soon as we find the final and ItsNotAboutTheNumbers comes back online, we'll log the find!

Ever had one of those days? We complete the 92 counties, find this cache, get my info from geocaching.com, and the itsnotaboutthe numbers web site is down for unknown problems. Hope that is up later so that i can upload my numbers!!!Meanwhile......had a wonderful time on this quest. We started off completing the DNR Spring 2008 quest which took us around the state finding those 24 caches. While doing that on one tour of the south east we seemed to be following Odyssy Posse around so I dropped him an email. He informed me that they were out knocking off some counties in their quest for all 92. We found the info for that and we were hooked. Took us another year to get all the counties finished off although only one over night stand where we stayed in Pokagan to get those far north counties. Of course some took multiple trips. It seems that on 4 different occassions the cache I chose to get was just short of the county line instead of just across it. Of course all 4 counties were spread across the state so it took a lot of gas and a full day to collect them up! Being a native hoosier, although i have spent years living in California, Virginia, and New Jersey as well, I do love this state and all of the beauty in it. Am glad to be back. Thanks for getting me out to see a lot of it I have never seen before!! Numbers will be uploaded as soon as that site returns..... Indy_Mike

What an enjoyable challenge and experience this has been. I was born and raised in Indiana. After 65 years, I had never visited all 92 Counties in this great state of ours...until this year. This Epic 92 Challenge was an excellant way to get out and see the entire state. I think my wife, Guppiebear, says it best (below) so I will not repeat all her words. This challenge was a bunch of one day adventures and three overnight adventures. Planning all the small excursions for this adventure was so much fun. I carried an "Official State Highway Map" with me. As we found a cache in a new County, I colored in that County with an orange marker. Anyway, thanks for a great adventure. We had a ball completing the Epic 92 Challenge. I will up load the required map and notify the owner that our journey is complete. TFTC

WOW!
This has been the most fun of any challenge.
We have visited parts of Indiana that we would have never had a reason to visit.
The people of this state are always friendly.
The food in the hole in the walls was usually good.
The food in the franchises was always predictable.
I loved the State Parks, I loved the City Parks, and I loved the nature trails.
There were lamp post caches in Evansville, Indianapolis, Terre Haute, and South Bend and all places inbetween.
The Covered Bridges in Park County were beautiful, but some of the caches needed help.
The virtuals were interesting with perhaps my 2 most memorable, the roller coaster that was built over a barn and the rosary meditation garden built in front of a barn.
The cemeteries were abundant and quaint. The challenge along the way was to find the oldest readable gravestone. It seems that 1870's is about as far back as we could read.
I loved the Skunk woman that we met in a cemetery in northern Indiana.
Only in Indiana can you find this and more.
I am sad to have this challenge end.
But I am happy to log the finish.
Perhaps we will find a comparable challenge in Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, or Michigan.
Thanks for this very challenging, fun, and wonderful experience.
