Texas Country City Challenge
The cache IS at the listed coordinates!
You MUST complete the requirements of the challenge before visiting this cache and signing the log.
Out of the 198 countries in the world and the 1842 towns listed in Texas and the others in the Texas Almanac, there are only a handful Texas towns that have the same name of a country. If you have differing information, contact me and I'll see if there should be a change to this challenge (see Revisions)...
This is your chance to cache in a foreign country without leaving the comfort and safety of dear ol' Texas!

If you like or dislike one of my caches let me know but PLEASE don't leave one word logs.
Time and effort went into placing this cache so put a little effort and thought into your log.
