Geocache Description:


**This geocache is at the posted coordinates, but to log it online as found, you also need to complete the following challenge**

Your challenge is to find at lest 200 combinations of county and size. Worded another way, fill at least 200 squares on the grid that has county on one side and size on the other side. With 3144 counties in the United States (including D.C) and 7 sizes (micro, small, regular, large, other, not chosen, virtual) that give a max theoretical score of 22008 (though a lot of counties don't have all the sizes so the max is closer to 15000). Qualifying finds can be hidden any time, be found any time, be any terrain or difficulty, and any type except lab caches or benchmarks.

You can see if you qualify by using this challenge checker:

This fairly well maintained gravel summit access road is open and safe for almost all cars to drive on from May 15th through November 15th annually. You can still travel here on bicycle, snowshoe, and on foot year round, though December and April tend to be quite muddy. Expect some small washboarded bumps in patches - drive under 10mph and you will be fine over them.

This road does get a fair amount of traffic when it is open. We have permission to be here on BLM land, but best have either good stealth, or look like you are doing something else in order to appease the passing muggles.
