Geocache Description:


This is a challenge cache.  The cache is at the posted coordinates. Cache hunters are welcome to sign the log at any time but cannot log this as a find until they complete the challenge.

The challenge:

Log the oldest active geocache in five different states. This challenge includes Washington D.C., Canadian provinces, and other similar subdivisions in other countries. For me, I have seven states. They are:

1. United States - Kansas 2000-05-10, GC30 Mingo 2017-07-20.  Also the oldest active geocache in Geocaching.com's inventory.
2. United States - Missouri 2000-06-19, GC37 Missouri's First - Watts Mill 2017-07-21
3. United States - Colorado 2000-07-01, GC18 Tarryall 2017-12-03
4. United States - Texas 2000-09-25, GC62 Tombstone 2018-03-28
5. United States - North Carolina 2000-09-29, GC70 Octopus Garden 2017-06-16.  Also the oldest active mystery cache in Goecaching.com's inventory.
6. United States - Oklahoma 2001-02-10, GC272 Where Eagles Roost 2018-03-29
7. United States - Nebraska 2001-05-09, GC943 GO BIG RED 2017-04-25

The Project GC Challenge Checker will verify you qualify; however, I encourage cache hunters to post a list of their qualifying caches here.  Tell others where the oldest are.
