What is the Wyoming County Challenge?
Wyoming is the 10th largest state with 23 counties spread out across 97,814 square miles. The goal of this cache is to find a cache with a physical logsheet in each and every county in Wyoming! The cache can only be logged as "found it" after successfully finding a physical cache in each county. Rule 3 below. A Wyoming County map can be obtained here.
While the project-gc.com Challenge Checker is the official tool to track your completion please contact Pathfinder33@outlook.com with any questions. Cachers may sign a challenge cache's physical log at any time, and a "write note" log can be annotated on the online log at that time. However, the challenge cache may only be logged as found online only after the log is signed and the challenge tasks have been met and documented..
For cache pages published after April 21, 2015 with a challenge checker, the owner can confirm the finder's qualification with the checker when the cache is logged as found. No further documentation is required from the finder. (no need to upload pictures of your colored in County map, but pictures from caches around the state on your journey and of the challenge cache location are always appreciated!)
Based on feedback from and incidents seen with similar challenges in other states, some basic guidelines need to be laid out:
- As mentioned above, the posted coordinates are not the actual coordinates for the cache. No need to go there, you will be cold and wet, and have no cache to find.
- Generally accepted rules, guidelines and conditions for logging a cache apply. These must be bona fide caches listed on Geocaching.com that you have personally (physically) found and logged. You may include caches found prior to the creation of the Wyoming County Challenge so long as they meet all other challenge requirements.
- All cache types with a physical logsheet count as finds for the Wyoming County Challenge except for locationless caches, traveling caches, and event caches of any type. No earthcaches, or virtuals can be used for this challenge cache
- While county lines occasionally move and different versions of various maps may differ in exact boundary lines, the county lines derived from the information inputted into the Project-GC checker will be considered definitive and final.
- While you may have others with you when you find the final cache, only those who have fulfilled ALL criteria for this cache will be allowed to log it as a find. "Found it" logs online by cachers who have not completed the challenge will be deleted. ALL cachers who log a "found it" will have their name run through the challenge checker by the CO, Those who have been found to have not completed the logging requirements will be deleted.
- When in doubt ask—we can discuss it, but the final decision rests with the cache owner.
- Remember that this is a game and is supposed to be fun!
