10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1-blast off!!!!!
We have all heard those words associated with a rocket blastoff. Now, you hear them with a cache challenge. This challenge is to encourage people to leave the comforts of their local caching area and visit other state/countries and seek a variety of different caches.
All you need is the following:
Visit a state or country and find 10 different types of caches. Then, you will need a different state/country and find nine different types of caches. Continue this for 8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 different types of caches in eight more states/countries. This will total 55 caches in ten different states/countries. All of the caches you have ever found count and all 17 cache types can be used.
