Geocache Description:

This cache is NOT at the listed Coordinates. Review the Final Waypoint.

You must successfully complete the “Challenge” prior to finding and logging the final cache.  Finds on this cache, which do not have documentation of completing the Challenge will be deleted.

This cache is modeled after a series of caches we recently found in Colorado by Challenge Lover.  When we placed this cache in 6/2012, we had found caches in 862 counties. In 2013 we found 386 new counties. As of 1/1/2016 we have now found 2191 counties, map below. As of 12/31/16 we now have 2756 counties
 

The challenge is to find caches in 150 different counties anywhere in the US.  All cache finds count (except locationless).  You can document this by capturing your US County Map statistics using GSAK, posting a bookmark, or other way we can confirm your accomplishment. 
 
The difficulty terrain for this cache is based on the Challenge to accomplish it.  The final hide is a 1.5 / 1
 
We don’t want anyone to strike out and DNF on the final after accomplishing the challenge.  If you contact us when you are coming to attempt final, we can verify cache is present and maybe even join you to celebrate completing this difficult challenge.
