*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**
Your challenge is to find a geocache (or attend an event) in at least 5 of the Big Sky Conference counties. Here's a list of all the counties with a Big Sky conference school in them:
Coconino county AZ
Los Angeles county CA
Sacramento county CA
San Luis Obispo county CA
Yolo county CA
Weld county CO
Capitol region CT
Ada county ID
Bannock county ID
Latah county ID
Gallatin county MT
Missoula county MT
Grand Forks county ND
Washoe county NV
Broome county NY
Multnomah county OR
Iron county UT
Davis county UT
Weber county UT
Spokane county WA
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.
Here is a checker to see if you qualify:

GCAFTMM: Idaho State University - Bannock County, Idaho
