Geocache Description:

This is a challenge cache for the travelling cacher who likes to look for a constant variety of cache types


The cache is at the listed coordinates but this is a challenge cache. Please note you do not need to leave the sidewalk while searching.

This challenge only requires 10 finds.

The globe has a circumference of 25,000 miles.  One fourth of that is 6250 miles.  We are going to ask you to cover 1/4th of the planet.  

The challenge is to find two caches of the same type that are at least 6250 miles apart.   Then do that for 5 different cache types.
