Colorado County Challenge (1/2)

For this challenge, you will need to find at least one geocache in half of the counties in Colorado. To satisfy the requirements for this challenge you will need to visit and cache in at least 32 counties. The caches can be of any type, difficulty, or size.

There is a big world out there and its full of exciting geocaches. This challenge requires you to travel a bit. Take the opportunity to broaden your horizons and travel a bit further from home.

What is a challenge cache?
Ok, if you have a chance of qualifying for this one you already know what a challenge cache is but just in case...

A challenge cache requires seekers to find an associated physical cache, and to find an additional set of geocaches as defined by the challenge owner. Challenge caches encourage geocachers to set and achieve fun goals. Examples of challenge caches: find a cache every day of the calendar year, or find one for every Difficulty/Terrain combination.

PGC Checker

Use the checker to see if you qualify. You can sign the log at any time but you must qualify in order to claim your find. Optional: Post a photo from one of your adventures or tell a quick story from your favorite geocache find while out hunting those counties. Here are our qualifiers:



The Geocache
This is a simple geocache. The container has a clickable lid and is started with a few pathtags for the first couple of finders.

Out caching with FeartheFish which means me driving his butt around all over the place. Roadtrip to Cheyenne for the webcam plus west of Greely for some letterboxes and picked up other caches along the way. Like usual we stopped for some challenge that he had qualified for and I end up getting signed up for it! At least I won't have to return when I finally qualify.

Didn't find it 08/17/2018 By FresnoDancingFool
I'm logging this one out of order, something I tend to do with DNFs when I don't forget them altogether; I don't record them in my personal records and hence have to remember them when I do my logging hours if not days later. In any case I don't quite qualify for this one yet, but that doesn't really matter as a five-plus-minute search of a number of possible hiding places around GZ yield no sign of a container, just too many empty beer bottles. I think the container is missing; TFTC anyway!

Caching our way to NoCo dinner. Happy to qualify for this cache and sign the log. But what I really really want is to finally complete the entire state !!

TFTCSL Found with my dad today. I've got a ways to go on this one.

Write note 07/25/2018 By OwenfromKC
TFTCSL we got this one signed early this morning. I should be at about 30 Colorado counties by the end of this trip. I don't think I'm going to make enough to qualify this time around. Just another excuse to return and take a different route. Thanks for the challenge.
