Geocache Description:


In an effort to build cacher awareness of the historic caches in Sanilac County, Michigan, this challenge has been issued.

The cache container for this challenge is located at the given coordinates. It is a small lock-and-lock container and the difficulty/terrain rating for this cache is based on the seven caches in the challenge not the actual cache find itself. The difficulty/terrain rating for the cache itself is more like a difficulty 1.5, terrain 2. It is flat terrain and easy access except for the last 5 feet or so. It is located at ground level.

In order to claim credit for this challenge, you must find and log five of the current seven oldest existing caches in Sanilac County (your choice of which five). If you are the cache owner of an item on the list, you may count it as a find for purposes of this challenge (so you do not have to make an actual find on your own cache.)

Once the five caches have been found and logged, you may find and log this cache. You may either prove you have met the challenge by posting your finds to a public bookmark or you may list your finds in the body of your log on this cache. Either way, be sure to give the waypoint, cache name, and date found. Prior finds do count.

The seven current oldest existing caches in Sanilac County are:
