Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS AT THE ABOVE COORDINATES.

PLEASE COMPLETE THE CHALLENGE BEFORE LOGGING THE CACHE AS "FOUND".

This Challenge is for those intrepid souls who like to "go outside the box".

This is a simple and straightforward Challenge. Your Challenge is to find one cache in each of the neighboring Counties contiguous to Utah. I didn't say it was easy; I said it was simple and straightforward!

Any cache type, size, difficulty, or terrain will qualify for this Challenge. All previous finds count. Because there should be plenty of caches to choose from in these counties, hides do not count. With respect to this Challenge, each of the three neighbor counties at the Four Corners are considered contiguous. When you complete the Challenge, your United States County finds map should have a complete colored frame around Utah.

For clarification purposes: the "Four Corners Monument" virtual cache - GC6A98 is listed by Geocaching.com as being located in Apache County, AZ. Therefore, it cannot be used as a find in the other contiguous states. This applies to any other "border" cache: the location identified by Geocaching.com determines whether a specific cache is inside or outside of Utah.

Please list your qualifying caches in your log in the following format:
