This is a Three County Challenge cache.
This cache is at the posted coordinates. You can sign the log at anytime, but cant log it until you meet the requirements. Find a cache found in three different counties with the same name from that are located in three different states.
Here is the three county challenge:
When I go on a trip I am never about adding a new state to my map, but what gives me a true since of accomplishment is finding a new cache in a new county. So during my travels I always make sure that I can stop at each county to grab a cache. I started to noticed when traveling and planning trips how many counties share the same name just in a different state. This observation gave me the idea for this challenge cache. With summer coming to an end and, which also brings the end of summer vacations and the traveling that would occur, I thought this would be a good way to meet a finalize with a cache that celebrates your travels and caching.
Requirements to log this cache.
***You must find 3 caches to complete this challenge.***
***Find a geocache in three different counties in three different states with the counties having the SAME name.***
****In your log you must state the name of the cache GC number and the county name and states.***
***You can not use the same counties that you use for the two county challenge that i have published. Trust me it is possible, and is not that difficult.***
***No time restriction, so you can use any previous finds to complete this challenge***
***You will find a matchstick container at the listed cords, and only the FTF will sign the actual log, everyone else will sign another type of log, make sure you bring a pen and can write small!****
The road that will take you close to the cache is located on farm road that is no longer a thru road so traffic shouldnt be an issue. This is near a trail that i use to go down and fish by. There is a lot of trash in the area, so if you dont mind do some CITO.
The closer you live to the border off states the better off you are. Since there are multiple combinations I will allow everyone to be able to log this cache up to 5 times. You cannot use the same counties and states. But each time you must stop by and sign the physical log after each challenge. This challenge may motivate you to take a trip outside of your state.
Examples:
Jackson County
Missouri GC#
North Carolina GC#
South Dakota GC#
