Geocache Description:

This cache is placed to fulfill the requirements of a cache placed by King Boreas called "Minnesota Challenge -- County Seats" GC15FYZ for Mahnomen County. "Placement of a cache counts the same as finding a cache, but only if there are NO prior caches in the county seat."

While planning a caching trip up into the NW corner of MN, I was searching for caches in the county seats to move closer to finishing this challenge. But there weren't any caches to be found in this county seat so started working on a plan to hide one. First step was to find a cacher that would be willing to watch over it and found not only one but two so it will be well cared for. A great BIG thank you goes out to judykh and Former Hawkeye for their assistance!

Visited NW MN this last weekend and stopped in Mahnomen with my sister (one of the MartyParty) where the spot that I had picked out from Google maps turns out to be a quick PnG on your way through. But while you are there, take a minute more to check out the very close nearby benchmark, Mahnomen AZ MK. And if you go down a block, there are more benchmarks to be discovered at the county courthouse.

BYOP!

Congrats to LadyandtheTramp-mn on the FTF!
