Geocache Description:


THIS CHALLENGE CACHE IS LOCATED AT THE POSTED COORDINATES

The Challenge 

Find and log at least one geocache (other than locationless and Adventure Lab caches) in each and every county (or county equivalent) of three U.S. states (DC doesn't count for this challenge).

 

Depending on the states you choose, this challenge could require as few as 13 caches.  Choosing larger states will obviously require a lot more exploration. 

Current counties or county equivalents in each State:

Alabama -- 67
Alaska -- 30
Arizona -- 15
Arkansas -- 75
California -- 58
Colorado -- 64
Connecticut -- 9
Delaware -- 3

We were banging around Geowoodstock XXI when I learned that Geowoodstock XXII would be in Hutchinson, easy driving distance from our current home.  I immediately decided to place a bunch of Challenge caches, something I've been meaning to do for awhile.  As I considered my options, it dawned on me that Newton and Hutchinson are about 26 miles about.  So, I've created 26 Challenge caches along US Highway 50, the loneliest road in America. My recommendation would be to drive this marathon rather than run it.

All finds count. Logs that do not fulfill the requirements will be deleted. 

Use the checker below to confirm you qualify for the smiley.  I'd appreciate if you'd include the listing from the Project-GC Checker in your log.
