Please read the entire page carefully before setting out to hunt this cache. This is a Challenge Cache The cache container is at the posted coordinates but you must complete the below challenge before finding this cache. Only online "found it" logs that have previously satisfied the requirements will remain on the listing.
I need to give proper credit to dndsterns and chefstern for the inspiration for this cache. I have gone to great lengths to satisfy the requirements for several of their challenge caches in the past. And, I’m still working on the requirements for some of their challenge caches right now. Challenge caches are some of my all-time favorite caches. At one point, I had an idea for a new challenge; but, I guess chefstern had the same idea, because he ended up publishing that challenge cache 2 days later. Hopefully, I will get this one published before one of them has the same idea. There are two ways that you can log this cache. 1. Complete a Wherigo Cache in at least 2 different countries. 2. Complete a Wherigo Cache in at least 4 different US states. These need to be Wherigos that end in a physical container; that get logged not only on Wherigo.com, but also on geocaching.com. Wherigos that are not cross-listed on geocaching.com do not count toward this challenge cache. Be sure to include in your log: the dates and the GC numbers of the Wherigos that you have found to satisfy this challenge. Wherigos are my family’s favorite type of cache. We look for opportunities to play them whenever we travel. As Wherigos continue to gain in popularity and more are published, this challenge should become a little easier to complete. But for now, build your Wherigo pocket query’s and look for Wherigos when you travel. Above all, have fun while playing the Wherigos! Congratulations to Vorticity for being the FTF... 48 days after the cache was published. Nice job with the international travel! Also... congratulations are in order for OneKindWord on being the STF... 10 months after the FTF. He was the first to find this cache using the "4 states" method of qualifying.

Heading home after attending the Mega in Texas with Kurt B.
We stoped and signed in on some challenges.
For now I'll write a note until I have time to check.

Thanks KJKlock for adding to my fun day of caching!

Came through with peace love pi today. Getting everything down as a "write note" and will come back and see what I qualify for. Glad a number of cachers have come through on the way to Geowoodstock, I think we found all but one container. Someone wasn't very good at screwing Bison tubes together, we found a lot of these in two pieces. Luckily it's been dry and all the logs were good.

Peace love pi and I traveled south from the Denver area to enjoy finding Colorado Springs caches and fill in a few more rays for the 360 degrees of Colorado challenge. Loved the rolling hills and seeing so many antelope in the fields along the roads. Thanks to all the COs who made this an awesome caching day for us!

Casper&Aero complète le challenge Wherigo World Traveler Challenge (GC1QF0A) selon https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC1QF0A/218

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... Aujourd’hui ce sera notre deuxième et dernière journée dans la région de Colorado Spring...

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

Casper&Aero de Baie-Comeau, Québec, Canada


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... Today will be our second and final day in the Colorado Springs area

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

I like doing Wherigos, though at times they can be extremely frustrating if the device/app doesn't work correctly, or they are poorly constructed, but I've also seen some very creative Wherigos. For those that like Wherigos, and you plan on heading to the Austin, TX area, I strongly recommend looking up the Wherigos created by ATXTracker.

I haven't travelled enough internationally to be able to do one in a different country, but I have found them in 8 states across the US:


    Texas         GC37NZ7 Tintin: Mystery at the Domain (08/09/2013)
    Maine         GC53C3V Magic Square Wherigo (06/30/2015)
    New Hampshire GC5RD9H Exeter's "Play Anywhere" Wherigo (07/01/2015)
    Massachusetts GC44TMZ The Boston Freedom Trail (07/03/2015)
    Arkansas      GC6GAG7 PHABC #1: Constellations (07/10/2016)
    Missouri      GC5TZEK Welcome to Branson (07/12/2016)
    Washington    GC3FQDQ Fremont (07/12/2017)
    Colorado      GC5M2D5 Medieval Adventure II (07/26/2018)
Thanks for the challenge.

When I signed the log on this cache (7/2/16), I never really thought I'd finish this Challenge. Thanks to a new iPhone, learning how to run a Wherigo cartridge, and more travels, I actually have completed this, and only two years later. TFTC!
