This challenge cache IS at the posted coordinates but you must complete the challenge before logging it as found.
The challenge:
Find different cache types (icons) in enough counties to have your number of counties meet or exceed the Fibonacci sequence:
1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55, (89 for level 11). For level 10 you will need 10 different icons with 143 total finds. Your minimum number of counties will be 55 but since many counties don't provide an opportunity to find more than a few different icons most people will need more than 55 counties.
What is a county? US counties or their equivalent in any part of the world are acceptable. Sorry though, outer space is not a county.
What is a cache type? Anything except locationless caches, benchmarks, and lab caches - as of October 10, 2022 there are 18 types:
Traditional, Mystery/Unknown, Virtual, Earthcache, Multi, Letterbox Hybrid, Wherigo, Webcam, Project APE, Event, CITO, Community Celebration/Lost & Found, Mega-Event, Giga-Event, GPS Adventures Exhibit, Groundspeak HQ, HQ Block Party, HQ Celebration.
How about an example? - Here is one way to meet the challenge (people will have different cache types for the various Fibonacci numbers):
1 and 1 - Visit the GPS Adventures Exhibit in one county and attend a Giga-Event in the same or a different county.
2 - Find a webcam cache in two different counties.
3 - Find a wherigo in three different counties.
5 - Attend a Community Celebration or Lost & Found event in five different counties.
8 - Attend a regular event in eight different counties.
13 - Find a multi-cache in thirteen different counties.
21 - Find an earthcache in 21 different counties.
34 - Find a virtual cache in 34 different counties.
55 - Find an unknown/mystery cache in 55 different counties.
89 (for level 11) - Find a traditional cache in 89 different counties.

Many thanks to Hügh at Project-GC for writing the script and providing the checker.
The cache itself is a 1.5 difficulty. You will need to walk a few meters up a hill. You do not need to cross the fence. It is close to the Loma exit from I-70 and there is good parking for eastbound semi-trucks within a quarter mile. There is a gravel pullout near the exit that is good for medium size vehicles and a small pullout close to the cache. Watch for rafting traffic and bicycles!
