We love caching in these United States. From Maine to Florida, From California to Mayland, From Alaska to Hawai'i there are so many beautiful, interesting and fun places to go and geocaching is a great excuse to go; but, there are a LOT of States!
The challenge here is to find and log at least one geocache in 25 of the 50 states. This includes the states, the commonwealths (for those who are sticklers out there) and the District of Columbia. Even though it's not a State per se and the residents there have no vote in Congress, I'm including it in the US count.
You may find and sign the log anytime but you must have verifyably completed the Challenge before logging a smiley. Caches found at any time in your geocaching career count towards your twenty five, though this cache doesn't count for your Ohio cache.
The difficulty reflects the challenge and the terrain reflects conditions at the container. Easier in the winter, tougher in the summer.
