Geocache Description:


The difficulty is because of the distance you must travel to qualify for the challenge!

Actual difficultiy of the hide is 1.5

Parking during game day might be hard, but all other times should be real easy!

The final container is the the posted coordinates and you can sign it any time, but to log it as found online, you also need to complete this challenge

El Paso County, Colorado

Your challenge is to find a geocache (or attend an event) in at least 4 of the Mountain West Conference counties. Here's a list of all the counties with a Mountain West conference school in them:

United States Air Force Academy - El Paso County, Colorado Link

Boise State University - Ada County, Idaho

California State University, Fresno - Fresno County, California

Colorado State University - Larimer County, Colorado Link

University of Nevada, Reno - Washoe County, Nevada Link

University of Nevada, Las Vegas - Clark County, Nevada

The University of New Mexico - Bernalillo County, New Mexico Link

San Diego State University - San Diego County, California

San José State University - Santa Clara County, California

Utah State University - Cache County, Utah

University of Wyoming - Albany County, Wyoming

 

It doesn't matter what date your finds were hidden, what date you find them, what type they are, size, terrain, nor what difficulty. As long as between your finds you have at least 5 of the counties from the list, you are victorious and can log this as found after signing.

For the visual learners among you, here is a map showing the different counties as well as the dates they are/were in the conference. Remember, even if the county wasn't in the conference at the date you found your geocache, it is still valid. Anything since May 2000 counts.
