Geocache Description:


The cache is not listed at the posted coordinates but is at the Final Location waypoint listed below.

This is a challenge cache.  In order to log this find, you must have found 5 of the 9 oldest caches in Kane County.  This can be done at any time before logging this hide.

At the time of challenge publication, the oldest 9 caches are/were:

The checker is all that is required for verification - making a bookmark or a list in your online log is completely optional.

To quickly determine if you qualify, use the following challenge checker:

PGC Checker

Note that the checker is the final arbiter of qualification. If one of the caches listed above becomes disabled or archived, another cache will automatically take its place. Older archived or disabled caches that have been found will also be detected and count toward the five.

Some fun facts: 

1.  The next two oldest caches (Butch Cassidy Gang and Well Isle Be) were placed on the same day, 4/15/03.

2.  The third oldest cache in the world (Beverly) is just east of the border of Kane County.

3.  I just qualify for this challenge, with 5 of the 9 found thus far.
