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 facesmiley You 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 3.5 X 3.5 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.

We have found Earthcaches are a great way to see great locations and Geological features that we would normally just pass by.

To quilify for this challenge you need to travel to 10 different states in the USA and get at least 1 EarthCache 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 ? (GC70P0K) according to http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC70P0K/25758). We would love to see which caches you have found in each state and your story about your travels.

An earth cache in 49 states so I qualify

Found it 08/18/2018 By I Spy.
I was sitting in my hotel room watching bad TV so I took out my iPhone and did a quick search of high D/T combinations. I didn’t qualify for most of them, but this one was a score! I quickly drove to GZ and scratched out my info on the log. I then drove back to the hotel and grabbed a few more in the area before calling it a night. Excellent! TFTC

Rather than run the challenge checker (I'm limited to 10 'trials' per day) I've linked this cache to my public bookmark list EARTHCACHES IN MANY STATES. That list contains earthcaches 've found in 21 different states, more than enough for this challenge. Great job, FDF favorite point, and TFTC!
