Geocache Description:


Welcome to the USA Geoart! The caches are obviously not at the posted coordinates, but they are all located along Route 3 in NH and Route 102 in Vermont. They are all relatively simple finds because I want everyone to be able to find these caches, regardless of age or physical ability. But to find these caches, you must solve the following questions about each state’s symbols. The website I used to gather the information was https://statesymbolsusa.org, so please use the same website to avoid any discrepancies.

In each cache, there is a special little surprise for the FTF if they want it, a little homemade magnet of each state. Will you be the first to collect all fifty?

I also need to give a huge shout out to my Mom, Mummie91957, for helping me immensely with this geoart series. Without her, this geoart would’ve taken much longer to plan out. 

Wyoming joined the union on July 10, 1890 as the 44th state. It was the first U.S. state to allow women to vote, an achievement representing one of the early victories of the American women’s suffrage movement. Even though it is the 10th largest state by area, Wyoming has the smallest population of all the states. The state is home to most of Yellowstone National Park, one of the most popular national parks in the country. Millions of tourists come to visit every year to see the geyser Old Faithful and the Grand Prismatic Spring, the largest hot spring in the country. They also come to see the variety of wildlife including moose, elk, bighorn sheep, wolves, coyotes, eagles, black bears and grizzly bears.
