Geocache Description:

Over the past few years I have been enjoying completing Challenge Caches around North America. This cache is similar to one in the State of New York, USA GC2RZXG Road Trip Challenge



The good news is that the cache itself is located at the listed coordinates. The bad news is that you must complete the following challenge before you can log the cache as found.

Your mission, if you choose to accept, is to find at least one cache in each of 6 different US states (Washington DC is also acceptable) and/or Canadian provinces within 2 consecutive days.

The fine print:
1. All cache types are acceptable, BUT your list must include at least 4 different cache types (traditional, multi, virtual, letterbox, event, etc).

2. You do not have to find this cache within the 2 days of the challenge. You may find the cache and sign the log prior to completing the challenge.

3. Your 6 qualifying finds must be listed in your found log in the format: State/Province, GC#, Cache Name, Cache Type, Found Date (See example below).

4. Any found logs that don’t meet the challenge requirements will be deleted. If you find the cache prior to completing the challenge, please log your visit as a note.

5. The difficulty rating for this cache is for the challenge involved, not the cache itself. The terrain rating is based on the cache location.

Before creating this challenge cache, I wanted to prove that it could be done. I completed the challenge during a road trip with Norshley, lulu_zulu and gr812nv. We decided to take a road trip to do some caching and it eventually turned into this challenge.
Info on our trip below:

On an Epic 3 day Geofrenzy. We found caches in Ontario, NY, VT, NH, ME, MA, RI, CT, NJ, PA, DE, MD, DC, VA, and WV


The epic day of all time for our Geocaching Frenzy record was Nov 4 and 5 ,2012
We arrived at 9 pm at a hotel in Brattleboro, Vermont . After a 3 hour rest we were ready to start.
The day was choosen because it was a 25 hour day ( because of the time change) we will cache from 00:01 am to sometime in the evening. We found a cache or 2 in each of 14 states + D.C.: They included the Oldest Cache in states and or the highest favorites in others.
On Sunday Nov 4 2012 we started at 12:00 Midnight and finished at 11:34pm with 14 states in one day. Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Washington DC, Virginia and West Virginia.
On Monday Nov 5 we headed home and found a few more caches.
We had a great time along the way, did some really great caches, saw some new places and have lots of memories! Hopefully your road trip will be as enjoyable as ours was.
