Welcome to the pinecone series of challenges - some people love them, other people hate them. This series is accessible from exit 333 if you're northbound or exit 337 if you're southbound on I-17. The cache is located 127 feet at 101 degrees true from the posted coordinates. There is a special logging requirement. You’re welcome to sign it (bring your own pencil!) and post a note at any time, but you cannot claim a find unless you qualify. The D/T is based on the challenge. The hide is 1.5/3.0
This is a simple challenge conceptually. All you'll have to do is follow a whole bunch of those "blue" roads to places you might not have gone otherwise. If you choose your states carefully, say Delaware (3), Rhode Island (5), & New Hampshire (10), it doesn't require that many caches to be found. On the other hand, if you want to include Texas (254), Georgia (159), and Virginia (133), it will require lots more work.
The Challenge
You must have already found at least one geocache (other than locationless and Adventure lab stops) in each and every county (or county equivalent) of three U.S. states of your choosing.

Use the checker to confirm your qualifications. While it's not required, it would be nice if you include the listing from the Project-GC Checker in your log entry.
