So what constitutes the CSRA?

The Central Savannah River Area (CSRA) is a region in the U.S. state of Georgia, and is also considered to include five counties[2] in South Carolina. The region is located on and named after the Savannah River, which separates the two states. The largest cities within the CSRA are Augusta, Georgia and Aiken, South Carolina.

According to the 2000 Census, the Augusta-Aiken metropolitan area had a population of 477,441, making it the 87th largest in the nation and second largest in the State of Georgia.

Wikipedia says  "13-county region[1] in the U.S. state of Georgia, and is also considered to include five counties[2] in South Carolina"

CSRA Geocachers Association says 11 counties in Georgia and 7 counties in South Carolina.

Dilemma:   They are not the same counties and to consider both sources, the total is actually 14 counties in Georgia and 7 counties in South Carolina.

For our little adventure, I decided that we are going to use them all.  I would not want Saluda or Screven or Washington or Taliaferro county to be offended that we might not consider them part of us.:-)

The cache IS NOTat the posted coordinates. Posted coordinates are bogus.  Please read the description below for logging requirements.
Cache is a micro sized utility capsule container  located at XXXXXXXXX. Cache is located inside Patriot's Park and parking is available once inside park.

10/16/11 The above sentence is sorta off now ... The cache is literally on Patriot's Park property, but accessing it seems to take you outside the park. The cache is in the same spot as always, but some construction has changed the fencing and now what was a playground has become a shelter. The playground/shelter are exceptionally close to the cache, but on the wrong side of the fence. One must make the long walk all the way around the ball fields to return to that corner of the park and find the cache.
To log a “Found it” for this cache in addition to finding the cache and signing the logbook you must have:

Found at least one cache in EACH of the counties listed below. 

Only physical caches with logbooks count as finds for the Challenge; event, locationless, virtual, and web cam caches will not count toward the Challenge. For multi and mystery caches the coordinates listed on the cache page will be used to determine what county the cache is in. All finds will count regardless of date of find. Thanks to both the Georgia and South Carolina county challenges, I know there are physical caches in each county listed. Find logs by other cachers will be deleted.
When in doubt ask, we can discuss it or even seek guidance from others, but the final decision rests with the cache owner. When you have completed the challenge and your list has been confirmed you will be given authorization to hunt this cache.
The preferred method to confirm your finds will be for you to prepare a Bookmark list with the county name, Geocaching GC# and date found. This will be the quickest way to confirm the finds. If you need to use an alternative method for this confirmation, please contact me and we will work with you.
