To log this cache, you must first find a cache in every county in North Carolina. That's 100 caches!!
Click the image for a larger version!
All cache finds used for the challenge must be on actual caches listed on Geocaching.com that you have visited in person- no temporary caches or locationless will count. In the case of multi or puzzle caches the listing coordinates provided on the cache page will be used to determine in which county the cache resides.
The actual cache container/logbook is hidden somewhere in the Chapel Hill area.
After completing the challenge, add to your log, or email Maingray either 1) a list of caches by county (which will take me longer to process), 2) GPX file of relevant finds, 3) a link to a bookmark list of county finds (for example, look here) or 4) an image or image link using mygeocachingprofile.com to verify the challenge requirements.
If any of these requirements is a problem, contact me and we can work out another verification method. Cache finds before and after the date of the creation of the challenge may be used.
The listed difficulty is the for the work needed to final 100 county caches. I would rate this cache in isolation as about a 1.5 difficulty.
