Yolo County has some beautiful spots. I haven't yet been to Little Blue Peak, the highest point in the County, but I have gotten some great BBQ in Woodland...

To complete this challenge, you need not visit all the great Yolo places listed below. In fact you can complete the challenge portion without ever setting foot in the County. In acknowledgment of our own Highway 16, find 16 caches, each with a different one of the following word(s) in the cache name*: Beatrice, Brooks, Cacheville, Capay, Clarksburg, Conaway, Cottonwood, Davis, Dufour, Dunnigan, El Macero, Esparto, Guinda, Knights Landing, Madison, Merritt, Norton, Plainfield, Rumsey, UC Davis, West Sacramento, Winters, Woodland, Yolo, Zamora. Now for the fine print:

Sorry, a single "UC Davis" cache won't count twice.
But "Du Four" written as two words is A-OK and can count as ONE find. "Plain field" as two words? Sure, why not.
The abbreviations "West Sac" and "UCD" are good enough for the find, but for the Hall of Fame marquee listing, you need to find a cache with the full name "West Sacramento" and "UC Davis." If you throw in "Brook" for "Brooks," ditto.
You must find at least five different cache types (icons) to qualify.
There is no date restriction on the finds; you may already qualify.
You may sign the log in the physical cache at any time, but please post a "found it" log only after you have completed the challenge. In your log, please list the qualifying caches, indicating the cache name, waypoint ID (aka GC code), and the date you found it.
Cache hiders: you may include in your list a cache you have hidden; just indicate that. (limit 1)
