Geocache Description:


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

Interstate 68 (I-68) is a 113.15-mile (182.10 km) Interstate Highway in the U.S. states of West Virginia and Maryland, connecting I-79 in Morgantown, West Virginia, east to I-70 in Hancock, Maryland. I-68 is also Corridor E of the Appalachian Development Highway System (ADHS). From 1965 until the freeway's construction was completed in 1991, it was designated as U.S. Route 48 (US 48). In Maryland, the highway is known as the National Freeway, an homage to the historic National Road, which I-68 parallels between Keysers Ridge and Hancock. The freeway mainly spans rural areas and crosses numerous mountain ridges along its route. A road cut at Sideling Hill exposed geological features of the mountain and has become a tourist attraction.

To qualify for this challenge, you'll need to take a trip along I-68 (and beyond) and find some caches!

THE CHALLENGE:
Find 68 Geocaches in every state I-68 passes through.

For this challenge, every type of Geocache counts (excluding Lab Caches).
You'll need to find 68 caches in both West Virginia and Maryland to qualify!
