Geocache Description:


 

🇺🇸 🦅 WELCOME TO AMERICA'S CHALLENGE TRAIL! 🦅🇺🇸

 

America is a vast country with a lot of unique attributes, landscapes, and cultures. This series aims to celebrate the 50 states with a virtual tour of the country, but you'll still need to hit the road. Each cache requires having found caches in at least 5 states, with different caches having unique criteria for that state. Please use the associated checkers and ensure you qualify before logging. All caches are small vials securely fastened in place, please do not attempt to remove them. All hides should be easy, and the difficulty reflects the challenge, but some caches may be harder to reach than others.
As always, be safe and happy caching!
