Geocache Description:

THE CONTAINER IS AT POSTED COORDS!!!
 
Since this is a challenge cache please complete requirements prior to logging cache find.

Maryland, despite its diminutive contour, yet with its unique contour, is surrounded by  4 states:  Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia,  and Delaware.

Your goal:
Demonstrate that you have found at least 3 caches in each of these four states AS WELL AS in Maryland.  Thus, you need 15 cache finds.
To further complicate the challenge, you must have included at least FOUR DIFFERENT TYPES of cache finds OTHER THAN traditional.  

Thus 5x5x3 (5 states, 5 types, 3 in each state)

For example you may find:
a virtual and two traditionals in Maryland
an earthache and two traditionals in Pennsylvania
an unknown, letterbox hybrid, and traditional cache in Delaware
three multicaches in West Virginia
three traditionals in Virginia
TOTAL=15 caches

The container is a 1/1, handicap accessible!
