Geocache Description:

Five (5) States in One (1) Day Challenge


The Challenge is to find and log a cache in 5 states in one day. The date has to be the same on all five caches found on the SAME day.


Please make sure you complete the challenge BEFORE you log this cache as a find.

This cache is at the coordinates listed, and you can sign the log prior to completing the challenge. BUT you cannot successfully log this cache as a find until you have completed the challenge requirements!

Past finds count, so if you have already completed this challenge please feel free to log it as a find.

Please either list all your found caches by Name, GC number and the State you found them in. They must all have been found on the SAME day/date. OR a bookmarked list attached to this cache page will suffice as well.


Liz and I (Dale) did this challenge on a fun long weekend up along the coastal states, unfortunately we didn't make it all the way to Texas, but instead opted to go to New Orleans and have a fun day there at the end of the run. We started in Panama City Beach and ended in New Orleans in ONE (1) day.

Here is a list of the caches we found as an example:

  1. Welcome To The Panhandle – FL – GC42QGJ
  2. Take me out to the ball game. – GA – GC4DQWE
  3. Double Nickels – AL - GC21VAT
  4. South Mississippi Back Roads #80 – MS - GC2KXXA
  5. Bienvenue en Louisiane – LA - GC1WE14

If you log this as a found cache without fulfilling the requirements your log will be deleted!


Please remember if hiking to take lots of water and bug spray, and don’t confuse the two!

When we picked up the last round of caches there were several that the lids were NOT closed properly and/or the baggies were not sealed and water had ruined them. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Please take the 10 seconds to close the baggy if there is one AND/OR close the container properly. What takes you 10 seconds to do, saves us from spending hours and $$$$ replacing swag, logs and containers.

IF the log is wet and you have a replacement, please feel free to add it, even if it is one sheet of paper. Thanks for your help in advance!

To get to this cache you have a few options:

  1. You can go straight up power line road, but I don’t advise this as there is a water crossing that is fairly wide and deep. Some have made it across okay, but I doubt they would do it again.
  2. You can take the power line road to the hiking trail turn off (Fun Run) to the South and follow it around to the horse trail and take that back North to the power line again.
  3. You can bike/hike from Ranch House Road up around Bee Island and back down to this cache on the power line road.
  4. Or you can park at SR 72 Power Line Road (after you pay for park entrance fees, and get parking pass) and come up that and back around to the left on the power line road.

These caches were approved by Jill Parnell - MRSP Asst. Manager


Found logs without completing the challenge will be deleted
