Geocache Description:


I enjoy geocaching in Ontario. In the past, sometimes I travel to see family, friends, for work or conferences, and sometimes just for fun. The point of this challenge is to get out to different parts of Ontario and really explore the area through geocaching, and experiencing the different cache types.

In order to log a find on this challenge, you need to find at least 8 cache types (icons), in at least 8 Ontario upper tier municipalities (sometimes called counties). This concept was directly copied from #226 - Carni Water Trail Challenge: OCD 8x8. When considering this challenge, I recommend looking at this handy map to understand municipal boundaries. There is, of course, a Project GC Challenge checker:

PGC Checker


Here are my detailed qualifications. I am currently overqualified, with 11-9-9-9-9-9-8-8 for my municipal icons.

[Starkiller_](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=Starkiller_) has used [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC76CCZ/26722 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") to see if he/she qualified for this challenge and he/she did.
