Geocache Description:


This cache is at the posted coordinates but  to log this cache you must find 500 caches in Essex County Ontario.

With the return of challenge caches I thought I would make a simple one to start. This is Essex Counties first challenge cache and it should be attainable by many cachers. At the time this was set up there where 1300+ caches in Essex County. You can use the checker below to see if you qualify. For fun and so we can all see maybe copy and paste your results (that's the box that says example log) into your log THIS IS NOT REQUIRED. This location will be busy Monday -Friday but not bad on the weekends.
