This is a challenge cache.  The cache IS at the given coordinates, however you have to meet certain criteria to mark this cache as found. Read below to understand this challenge.

There is plenty of room to park along the shoulder, but still be careful here. 

Congrats Team estrek on FTF!

This challenge is just a continuation of the the other trackable challenges I have created.  Simply prove you have discovered/moved 500 trackables or more.  As long as your profile is set to public, mention it in your log and I can click on it to verify your values.  If your profile is set to private, find another way to prove it.

Trackables are a huge part of geocaching, there are races and events entirely crafted around them, and its always fun taking a look at their goals or where they have been.  There are different stages for these challenges as you discover more, so keep looking for codes in caches and at events!

As always, you may sign/stamp the log ahead of time, mark a note on the cache page, and then change it to found with your qualifications when you are able.  Challenges are meant to be fun and a reward for doing something extraordinary, but keep in mind they are entirely optional.

I am away from British Columbia heading to the States for a 10 day road trip with 3 others -- Sweet Marie, MissPeach13 and Kteeeee. We signed logs with CCC stamp (Canadian Caching Crew)
Thanks to all the COs for making this such a great hobby/pastime
Day 4 and today it is Colorado and our goal is the oldest cache, road closed so alternate plan B

Laphamclanhas used "Project-GC Challenge Checker" to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.

You made it with 572 trackables dicovered and you only needed 500

Here on an amazing 10 day geocaching road trip with sweet-marie, kteeeee and laphamclan. We flew into Kansas City and after renting a car we drove through Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Missouri and back to Kansas. All logs were either signed CCC (Crazy Canadian Cachers) or stamped with our red CCC stamp. Answers to Virtuals and Earthcaches have been sent in on behalf of the group.
Writing a note until I can verify.

Greetings from Beautiful British Columbia! Off on a 10 day, 9 state geo-adventure with kteeeee, Laphamclan and MissPeach13. Many thanks to all of the COs for placing these caches for us to find and adding to our fun day. We used our CCC (Canadian Caching Crew) stamp or initials on all of the logs.

Today we headed to the oldest cache in Colorado and then changed our original plans to go to Mt. Evans as the road was closed due to snow and we were unable to do the caches there Frown We went through the city of Denver instead and stopped in Fort Collins for the night.

Sadly this entire series is in need of maintenance. My profile page will verify that I have completed this challenge.

Our Colorado vacation continued today with some caching between Ft Collins and Greeley. We found several challenge caches along this road before heading southeast. Unfortunately, came up empty on this one.

Notre périple a débuté le 22 août dernier et nous amènera à visiter douze états Américains et deux provinces Canadiennes... Notre départ s'est fait à partir de Baie-Comeau, une ville sur la Côte Nord du Québec pour ensuite se poursuivre quelques jours à Québec où nous avons fait un peu de Géocaching.... Par la suite, nous avons fait un arrêt à St-Eustache et Ville de Laval, toujours au Québec, pour ensuite prendre l'avion et arriver à Portland, Oregon... Nous avons fait un arrêt le 28 août à Umatilla toujours en Oregon, le 29 août à Boise en Idaho, le 30 à Twin Falls et le 31 nous sommes à Salt Lake City pour deux jours... Le 2 septembre nous étions à Rock Springs, Wyoming, le 3 nous avons fait un arrêt à Laramie, Wyoming... Le 4 et le 5 septembre nous étions dans la région de Colorado Spring, CO... Aujourd’hui nous nous dirigeons vers Fort Collins, CO...

Pendant tout le voyage nous avons ciblé quelques caches qui nous aideront à atteindre nos objectifs personnels et nous découvrirons certainement de nouveaux endroits que les Géocacheurs d'ici voudront nous faire découvrir... Nous préparons ce voyage depuis plusieurs mois et savons que nous ne pourrons pas tout voir par manque de temps... Il y a beaucoup de caches mais devons fermer les yeux ne pouvant toutes les trouver... Mais c'est avec plaisir que nous apposerons notre signature sur certaines d'entre-elles...

Merci pour la création de ces caches qui ajoutent des sourires à notre profil et qui nous font passer du bon temps peu importe l'humeur de Dame Nature... Notre log sera le même pour toute la journée et s'il y a une particularité nous l'ajouterons au début du texte... Des favoris seront ajoutés ici et là pour tout le travail accompli... MPLC

Our English is not perfect, we use Google Translate to help us ...

Our journey began last August 22 and will take us to visit twelve US states and two Canadian provinces ... Our departure was from Baie-Comeau, a city on the North Shore of Quebec and then continue for a few days in Quebec City where we did some Geocaching .... Then we stopped at St-Eustache and Ville de Laval, still in Quebec, and then flew to Portland, Oregon... We made stop in Umatilla on August 28 still in Oregon, August 29 in Boise, Idaho, August 30 in Twin Falls and August 31st we are in Salt Lake City for two days... The 2nd of september we were in Rock Springs. Wyoming and the september 3 the road brought us to Laramie, Wyoming... On September 4th and 5th we were in the Colorado Spring area, CO ... Today we are heading to Fort Collins, CO

Throughout the trip we have targeted some caches that will help us achieve our personal goals and we will certainly discover new places that Geocachers here will want us to discover ... We have been planning this trip for several months and know we will not be able to not all see for lack of time ... There are many caches but we must close our eyes can not find them all ... But it is with pleasure that we will put our signature on some of them ...

Thank you for creating these caches that add smiles to our profile and make us have a good time regardless of the mood of Mother Nature ... Our log will be the same for the whole day and if there is a particularity we will add it at the beginning of the text ... Favorites will be added here and there for all the work done ... TFTC

Found it at 0619.
I didn't think it was safe and/or legal to park near here, so I parked about a quarter-mile away and had a short walk to GZ. Once there, I spotted the cache container right away. I'd already found a few challenges in this series, and the container was unusual (a new kind to me, I think), so maybe someone had replaced it along the way. I had a tough time signing the log with my gel pen - maybe it's that waterproof paper or something like that; I noted after the fact that a previous finder (about a month earlier) had replaced the log paper. Nevertheless, I traced over my writing several times and left a faint entry.
I easily qualify for this challenge; my public profile currently shows that I've moved and/or discovered 1129 trackables.
