CHALLENGE:
log as FOUND a Reqyuired Minimum Number of caches in at least 13 US states /or 12 states and wildcard Washington DC.
TWIST:
minimum FOUND caches in each area must be AT LEAST equivalent to the order each specific state was ratified or admitted to the Union. The District of Columbia was formed after the first 13 colonies were ratified. As a "wildcard" it is assigned a value of "1" for the purpose of this challenge. DC is NOT a state.
The Difficulty rating of the cache reflects the "difficulty" of meeting the Challenge. At a minimum to meet the challenge you will have logged a total of 79 caches NOT INCLUDING this one. By comparison, west-coast caching would necessitate 233 finds for the six states of California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Nevada and Idaho .... and 99 just for Hawaii and Alaska.
PROVIDED REFERENCE ITEMS:
(1) A checker for your convenience in determining your qualification status. It is not necessary to list the caches in your log ... but you may if that is what you want to log.
According to the Project-GC Checker I have met the challenge with 14 eligible states.
59 finds (50 needed). Hawaii
550 finds (48 needed). Arizona
