The Elves love finding challenge caches, so we've set up the Elves' Challenge Trail along our favorite section of the Montour Trail in order to share some favorite challenges we've encountered in our travels. Parking is available on McLaren Road or Cliff Mine Road at designated Montour Trail parking areas. See the parking waypoints below. All caches on the Challenge Trail are preform containers and are hidden within 30 feet of the Montour Trail. Normal challenge cache rules apply: you can find the cache and sign the paper log at any time, but you cannot claim an online smiley unless you also meet the challenge conditions described below, as verified by the Project-GC challenge checker linked below. I will validate your find using that checker - there is no need to provide proof unless you wish to do so. Non-qualified finds can and will be deleted.
The Elves love exploring new counties all around the country. When this cache was published, we'd found caches in 648 different counties. Not everyone is that obsessed with coloring in their county map, however, so the requirements for this cache are a bit easier: Find caches in 250 USA counties or county equivalents (Louisiana Parishes, Virginia independent cities, etc.) Use the checker to see your progress, and have fun exploring more of America's 3,142 counties!
