The cache is at the posted coordinates but you must qualify for this challenge before logging this cache with a find and acquiring the smily facesmileyYou may sign the log and post a note that you are working on the challenge and then post a find after you have qualified.

All of the cache containers in this series are similar and easy to find. PARKING IS ALONG SIDE OF THE ROAD SO PLEASE BE CAREFUL. The FUN part of this series is qualifying for the final. The final container is the REWARD for all your effort. We hope you enjoy the challenges.

I have rated a 4 X 4 because of the effort it will take in each state and the distance you will have to travel to accomplish the challenge. The final container location is 1.5 X 1.5

We love to travel and cache as we go because caching takes us to so many interesting places and we meet so many interesting fun people along the way.  We also have found we are creatures of habit and tend to just get geocaches that are easy and close,  but if we  are challenged, we will go far and wide to get the needed cache to meet the challenge.  So we have created a series of challenge caches to get you motivated to travel and see more of this great world and get more different types of geocaches.

To quilify for this challenge you need to travel to 4 different states in the USA and get 4 different cache types in each state.  Please use the link to the challenge checker below to see if you meet the quilifcations and then copy and paste the results on your found log. ( like this...msstrong fulfills challenge ? (GC6ZZ16) according to http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC6ZZ16/24578). We would love to see which caches you have found in each state and your story about your travels.

Mrs. Herndonrd had a horse thing between Longmont and Boulder so I spent a couple of days getting some virtuals, earthcaches, and assorted others up in the area. FeartheFish tagged along for part of it. He qualifies for this one but not me yet.
