Geocache Description:



The Big Apple, is a nickname for New York City, and reflects the city's status as a global hub for arts, finance, and innovation. It is composed of 5 boroughs, each of which is its own county: The Bronx, Manhattan (New York), Queens, Brooklyn (Kings), and Staten Island (Richmond). For this challenge, you will need to find 79 caches in Queens, 49 in Manhattan (New York), 33 in Staten Island (Richmond), 23 in Brooklyn (Kings), and 16 in The Bronx. This is a total of 200 caches across the 5 boroughs/counties. All previous caches count.

You may be wondering where each of those numbers came from. They are proportional to the total number of caches in each of the 5 boroughs/counties. As of the time of placement, there are 401 caches in Queens, 249 in Manhattan (New York), 166 on Staten Island (Richmond), 118 in Brooklyn (Kings), and 82 in the Bronx.
