A Challenge for finding caches AROUND Illinois. It is at the posted coordinates. TO QUALIFY, find a cache in Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kentucky, and Missouri (all the states bordering Illinois).
In the years when the earth was just cooling, before primordial ooze waltzed around in hybrids or GPSr accuracy was good to 6 feet, all that mattered to area cachers was a magical realm called Illinois. The little treasure troves seemed to sprout overnight and delight finders of all ages.
Well, it seems the word got out and caches have been spawning and contaminating the lands surrounding mystical Illinois. This cache is for those cachers who have striven to find and capture caches in these barbarian outlands.
To log a valid find, you must have found a cache in the rolling hills of Indiana, the cheese tundra of Wisconsin, the corn fields of Iowa, the land beyond the great southern river in Kentucky, and the unknown lands beyond the Gateway to the West— Missouri.
If you have not found caches in each of these states prior to posting a log, choose Write a Note and list at least one cache for each of the states including the name of the cache, GC number and the date of your find for that cache in that state. When you qualify, edit the note, change the date, enter the missing information, and change the date.
Your log could be a bookmark list or resemble the following (whatever works for you!):
IA—Cache Name, GC number, Date I found it
IN—Cache Name, GC number, Date I found it
KY—Cache Name, GC number, Date I found it
MO—Cache Name, GC number, Date I found it
WI—Cache Name, GC number, Date I found it
