Here is the Five County Challenge:
When I go on a trip I am never about adding a new state to my map, but what gives me a true since of accomplishment is finding a new cache in a new county. So during my travels I always make sure that I can stop at each county to grab a cache. I started to noticed when traveling and planning trips how many counties share the same name just in a different state. This observation gave me the idea for this challenge cache. With summer coming to an end and, which also brings the end of summer vacations and the traveling that would occur, I thought this would be a good way to meet a finalize with a cache that celebrates your travels and caching.
