Geocache Description:

Dawn to dusk caching only; please be respectful of this place and don't go at night. IMPORTANT: If I hear of cachers finding this after dark, I may have to archive it. Be sure to explore from different angles as this place is interesting. Coordinates taken with a Magellan GPSr. Hide is a small Lock & Lock with room for small trackables, and is fairly snow friendly. *Please* rehide the container well to prevent muggling. Bring your own pen! Unactivated TB for first to find.

Cache *is* at posted coordinates.


This is the easiest county challenge ever. Rhode Island has a whopping FIVE counties: find any type of cache in each county to qualify for this challenge. Five caches!


If you are new to RI, this will be a very quick way to see different parts of the state. However, many RI residents consider a trip from one county to another a trip requiring a packed lunch and maybe a hotel stay. Plenty of Providence County dwellers go years without seeing Washington County.

 

 

In order to log your find, post a bookmark list or just a list of caches in your log, with the date of your find and the GC number. These will be verified, and finders who do not sign the physical logbook or who don't provide this documentation may have their log deleted. Finds from any time period will count. Using other challenges' cache pages to qualify for this one is not allowed; you must list your qualifying caches or provide a bookmark list. If my own sister finds this cache and I'm with her for each of the finds, this will still be required of her. Luckily it will not take you long.

 



If you are looking for a more impressive challenge, work on the Rhode IslandDelorme or 39+1 Challenge.

This cache does NOT count for the Providence County find. If you have not logged the 5 counties by the time you find this cache, you may leave a *note*(not a "found it" log) on the cache page and sign the physical log, logging your find after you qualify. Extra brownie points from us if you complete this challenge in one day(easy!)or if your finds are non-traditional, are high terrain/difficulty, etc. Here are the cities and towns that make up each county, to help you differentiate your finds:
