Geocache Description:


Historic Caches of Roscommon County Challenge

In an effort to build cacher awareness of the historic caches in Roscommon County, Michigan, this challenge has been issued.

The cache container for this challenge is located at the given coordinates. In order to claim a find on this challenge, you must find and log five of the seven current oldest existing caches in Roscommon County.

Once the five caches have been found and logged, you may find and log this cache. You may either prove you have met the challenge by posting your finds to a public bookmark, or you may list your finds in the body of your log on this cache. Either way, be sure to give the waypoint, cache name, and date found. Prior finds (and hides if you are the owner) do count.

______________________________________________________________________________________

The cache is at the posted coordinates.

Cache is located on public land not far from The Eureka Hunting Club Cache. Please park at the parking coords given and walk in, because the two track can get very tricky. Can be found at anytime, but please do not go after it during deer hunting season, for your own safety. Enjoy!

Thank you to 5DC for the format I borrowed for this cache!

THIS IS A CHALLENGE CACHE, WHICH MEANS THAT THE CHALLENGE MUST BE MET BEFORE THE CACHE IS FOUND. ALL FIND LOGS THAT LACK EVIDENCE OF FINISHING THE CHALLENGE WILL BE DELETED!
