3rd Annual Colorado 64 County Finishers Event

Join the GCCO Board in Mesa County as we ponder the often asked muggle question “you drove HOW far to do WHAT???”

We will provide light refreshments and you are invited to bring something to share if you wish (obviously not a requirement).  We will have water but bring your own choice of beverage if you prefer other soft drinks.

Also, bring your knowledge of Colorado.

We will have GCCO coins for sale (I think as far back as 2018), and maybe a door prize or two. 

You do not need to have cached in all the Colorado counties to attend the event.  Everyone is welcome!

 

There are 64 counties in Colorado. Have you found a cache in each and every one of them? Have you signed the “extremely-hard-to-get-to” challenge cache? 

*GC8DT6G    The NEW Colorado County Challenge by Pathfinder33

This 5D/5T cache is located at the top of Imogene Pass between Ouray and Telluride in the San Jan Mountains. To date 14 finishers have signed the official log and completed the challenge, with a 15^th pending.

 

More Details about the Event

Event Time 10:00am to 12:00noon in Riverside Park, 140 West Avenue, Grand Junction CO 81501. We will be located in the picnic shelter.

Thank you FCST, for putting on a great event. I really enjoyed meeting cachers on the other side of the mountains and it was a surprise to see some familiar faces.

Had a lot of fun in the Grand Junction area today. Started with a little caching and then on to the Colorado County finishers event. Got to meet a lot of great cachers from the area. We planned to cache around GJ and Palisade, but last minute decided to change plans and head to Delta for the multis. Whoo hoo! A new county for me. We found a few others that got in our way, then cached our way back and found a few more in GJ. Thanks to the COs for the smileys!

I attended with Nickgatt and my three geohounds. We came to the western slope for the Labor Day weekend to cache around Grand Junction and Delta. I had a great time meeting new geocachers and seeing some familiar faces. Thanks for hosting this great event.
