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.
North Carolina joined the union on November 21, 1789. It was one of the original 13 colonies and the first state to tell its delegates to vote for independence from the British crown during the Continental Congress. After the Revolutionary War, North Carolina developed an extensive slave plantation system and became a major exporter of cotton and tobacco. The slave population remained relatively small compared to that of other southern states. In 1861, North Carolina became one of 11 states to secede from the United States thus beginning the American Civil War.
