Geocache Description:

Short version: Coordinates are bogus. To complete this challenge, you must find 10 caches visited by 10 top NH cachers. Reported tree stand nearby so be careful during bow hunting season.

This challenge was inspired by a Midwest cache. Follow in the footsteps of greatness! To meet this challenge, you must visit 10 caches (one in each NH county) each of which has been found by at least 10 of the top NH cachers

* Top NH cachers must have over 4000 finds in NH - you can use the Total NH Finds column on the Top Finders of New Hampshire Geocaches page by twilighter http://twilightsw.com/geo/nh.cgi or the Profile Maps page at http://project-gc.com/ or post a list of NH finds for a cacher not listed

* If you are a top NH cacher, you need 10 others :-)

* Cache type must be Unknown, Traditional, Letterbox Hybrid, or Multi

* Hides count as finds

* Submit a grid with cache# and columns for dates for yourself and the other 10 finders - you may post grid in your log or e-mail it to me

Official NH hunting seasons: http://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/Hunting/hunting_dates_and_seasons.htm

To reduce the number of clueless cachers logging this without reading the description, the posted coordinates are bogus - actual are N 43° 10.415 W 071° 33.543

Start from Lewis Lane to approach over state forest land, fewer fallen trees if you start opposite #25

First to actually submit grid: 2GeoHounds
