Geocache Description:

A fun challenge based on GC26XA6 and GC2365R...

The cache IS at the posted coordinates.

This challenge may motivate you to take an extra side trip when you're traveling out-of-state.

The idea here is to find a cache in three different cities with the same name. Three different states, too. Spelling, not pronunciation, is what matters. So, Provo, Utah and Provo, Arkansas, maybe Provo, Kentucky? You're good. You could even substitute Provo, South Dakota for one of those. So book your tickets to Springfield, Princeton, Washington, Kansas City, and Concord, for example.

Some might ask about a different country, so yes, if you find a cache in Rome, Georgia and Rome, Italy and Rome, Oregon, you're good (very good, actually!). Ditto for Paris, Texas, Paris, Idaho and Paris, France.

Now for a few words from the Promotion of Clarity Department:

You must find 3 caches to complete this challenge.
The caches may be of any cache type.
Past finds DO qualify.
About place names: cities and towns are all legitimate.
You may log this cache as many times as you find qualifying combination's.
In your "found it" log, indicate the qualifying caches' names, GC numbers, and city names.
You must sign the log of the physical cache; you may sign the log before completing the challenge.
