Geocache Description:


THIS CACHE IS AT THE POSTED COORDINATES!
But to claim a find, you'll have to complete the challenge below...

Interstate 79 (I-79) is an Interstate Highway in the Eastern United States, designated from I-77 in Charleston, West Virginia, north to Pennsylvania Route 5 (PA 5) and PA 290 in Erie, Pennsylvania. It is a primary thoroughfare through western Pennsylvania and West Virginia and makes up part of an important corridor to Buffalo, New York, and the Canada–United States border. Major metropolitan areas connected by I-79 include Charleston and Morgantown in West Virginia and Greater Pittsburgh and Erie in Pennsylvania.

In West Virginia, I-79 is known as the Jennings Randolph Expressway, named for the West Virginia representative and senator. In the three most northern counties, it is signed as part of the High Tech Corridor. For most of its Pennsylvania stretch, it is known as the Raymond P. Shafer Highway, named for the 39th Pennsylvania governor.

To qualify for this challenge, you'll need to take a trip along I-79 (and beyond) and find some caches!

THE CHALLENGE:
Find 79 Geocaches in every state I-79 passes through.

For this challenge, every type of Geocache counts (excluding Lab Caches).
