This is a challenge cache. The cache is at the posted coordinates. 

The mission: To go counties in Colorado (or the United States) that correspond to the President's last name. In each county, you'll need to find the number of caches corresponding to that President's number.

Washington - 1

(John) Adams - 2 (total of 8 caches needed in Adams County)

Jefferson - 3

(John Quincy) Adams - 6 (total of 8 caches needed in Adams County)

Jackson - 7

Lincoln - 16

Garfield - 20

You can accept the mission at any time by going to the posted coordinates, finding President Geo. Cache, and signing your username to the sign-in sheet. A “found it” smiley can only be claimed after you have completed the mission and receive a successful result on the challenge checker provided below. You may copy and paste the "example log" output from your checker result in your log if you wish.


PGC Checker

The Difficulty is based on the total diffculty of traveling and locating the number of geocaches to qualify for this challenge. The terrain rating is for the cache location.

Theodore Roosevelt often rode the rails while campaigning. He said “hi” to many voters. One of his memorable quotes was, “Speak softly and carry a big TOTT…er, stick.”

I went out for a walk on the Rock Island Trail before the clouds rolled in. I parked close and brought a ToTT in case it was needed. It took a little while to find -- lots of trees within a reasonable distance of GZ, but ended up making the find and signing the replacement in the first spot.

I'm good on this challenge until some Colorado county decides to rename itself "Trump County"... then there may be more work to do (either 45 or 45 + 47 = 92). If it's Teller County, I'm ok, but if it's Moffat County... uh oh ! Thanks for replacing this! TFTC!

We are a county short, that we plan to get in two weeks on a road trip.
Found the “boring bison”—- sorry we missed the cute President!
Thanks oz8118 for replacing so quickly!

Ready to find, but tree trimmers are in the area. I might need to replace this again once they’re done working the trail.

Owner Maintenance 10/10/2024 By oz8118
Replaced container to a boring black bison

Didn't find it 10/10/2024 By gampa&gamma
We’re the reason that the CO disabled this cache. We looked and looked but weren’t able to make the find. We’ll be back for another try after the container is replaced.

{STF} Whoop, whoop! Returned Saturday night from my Utah trip and signed the log. All of us on the COT team (Tootsie.22, berb57, Huff-Suter, Nov64 and myself) were excited to see this challenge publish. Most of the team left Sunday but Tootsie.22 is spending a few days here with me. We were just talking and realized we had forgotten to log this one. This challenge came out at the perfect time as we were able to pick up needed caches in Garfield County as we passed through.

Thanks, oz8118, for this unique challenge!

Trea fulfills challenge Colorado Presidents Challenge (GCAQ4PH) according to https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GCAQ4PH/88040

Nice challenge and unique! I had most of this completed but needed a few more in Garfield Co. so we made a point to log a few more so we could qualify to log his as a find. Thanks for another challenge down and the smiley that goes with it.

{*FTF*} I had seen this one when it briefly published a couple weeks ago and realized I was short in one county. I already had a hiking trip planned and the county I needed to complete was on my way home. So I found the cute container on my way for some errands this afternoon. Nicely done. TFTC
