Geocache Description:

This cache IS at the posted coordinates, however in order to log this cache as a find you MUST fulfill the requirements of this challenge! All logs without the requirements WILL BE DELETED! You are looking for an ammo can.

I love Illinois. Although I live in Indiana now- (a fine state indeed!) I've lived most of my life in the Land of Lincoln. In order to complete this challenge, you must embrace Illinois- literally. The requirements are as follows:
1) In one calendar day (12:00am-11:59pm) you must find 20 caches in Illinois, AND 20 caches in a state that "HUGS" Illinois. The state can be Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky or Indiana. A total of 40 caches.
2) You MUST either fill out out bookmark list, or post the 40 caches in your log.
3) This cache does NOT count toward an "Illinois" find.
4) You may already qualify- past days DO count as long as it was ONE calendar day.

The cache is located in a Cook County Forest Preserve, in Lansing IL. During and immediately after a heavy rain, this area can be wet- thus the higher terrain, so be prepared.

Have fun with this challenge- embrace your state!
