Zipper Challenge - Whiteside Edition Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

cneumann98: I really enjoyed this challenge and hope you did too. It predates the current challenge rules and I know it can no longer be replicated, but I also have had to place a ton of caches to keep it alive, so I feel like it's time to let it go. Thanks to all who visited it and wrote fun logs.

If you posted a note before this was archived, of course you can still log it as a find once you are able to qualify!

Geocache Description:

The cache IS located at these coordinates!

This "zipper" challenge is a "snap!" Actually, while the challenge is a snap, the cache isn't!




In order to log this , you will need to log several other . Eleven smilies, in fact , but twelve if you are a perfectionist! 

The challenge of this cache is that you need to have found at least one cache in every zip code in Whiteside County:

61071 - Rock Falls
61081 - Sterling
61230 - Albany
61243 - Deer Grove
61250 - Erie
61251 - Fenton
61252 - Fulton
61261 - Lyndon
61270 - Morrison
61277 - Prophetstown
61283 - Tampico
Bonus zip for perfectionists: 61014 - Chadwick (a Carroll County zip code, but it extends into Whiteside)

For zip codes that cross county lines, the cache must physically be located within Whiteside County borders. For puzzle and multi caches, the final location is what must be within Whiteside County. Event and other locationless caches are not eligible. Caches can be found at any point in time previous to logging this challenge. Qualifying caches can be active, disabled, or archived. If you happen to own a cache in one of the zip codes, you may count that as a "find" for the purpose of this challenge (cache ownership has its privileges!) The related web page offers a map of all Whiteside County zip code boundaries.

When logging this find, please include a list in your log entry with the zip code, GC code, cache name, and date found for your 11 (or 12) qualifying caches.
