This is a Four County Challenge cache.
This cache is at the posted coordinates. You can find the cache at anytime and sign the log, but you can not log it until you complete the requirements. Find a cache found in four different counties with the same name from that are located in four different states.
Here is the Four 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 4 caches to complete this challenge.***
***Find a geocache in four different counties in four different states with the counties having the SAME name.***

This is lcoated off a farm road, if you head south from the intersection the road ends so you can pull onto that part of the road to avoid traffic ir you can pull off into the area with county and utilies workers park.
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.
All caches are game for trying to complete the challenge.
