Geocache Description:


Cache IS at posted coords. Before logging a find, please read the cache requirements as set out below. Please bring your own writing instrument and replace cache as found. Thanks to carnigrewal for the idea.

The Challenge

In order to qualify for this challenge, you will need to have found at least 1 physical cache (Virtuals, EarthCaches, WebCams, etc., don't count) in each of the original 13 Colonies. Because some of the land from the original 13 Colonies now makes up other States, the States that contain land from the original Colonies will count toward your 13 finds.

The Original 13 Colonies Are: Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Virginia.

In addition, a physical find in any of these States which contained land from the Original 13 Colonies will also count toward your 13 finds: Maine (Originally part of Massachusetts), Vermont (Originally part of New York), and West Virginia (Originally part of Virginia).

Also, a find in Washington, D.C., will count as well, since its land was originally part of Maryland.

 

The Rules

1. For verification purposes, there is a project-gc checker below.
2. You are welcome to find the cache before completing all of the requirements. If you do, please just sign the log and post a note on the cache page. Then, after you have completed the challenge, you can come back and log it as a find.
3. Logged finds that do not qualify will be deleted.

 

The park is open from dawn to dusk. Permit # BI 19 10
