Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

How well do you know, or can find the answers to some puzzles
about our great 50 United States?


Match the statehood dates below to the correct state to find the final coordinates.

N 40° (AR) (DE) . (TN) (VA) (OK)
W 111° (OK) (MS) . (MI) (OK) (MI)


0 = 2413562.5
1 = 2392035.5
2 = 2374114.5
3 = 2391810.5
4 = 2385048.5
5 = 2417895.5
6 = 2377187.5
7 = 2436801.5
8 = 2374289.5
9 = 2374088.5

Originally, there was a list in the cache with all of the states' dates of admission to the United States. The goal was to mark off the date on the list if the cache was found on one of the admission dates. That went missing very early!

Also - this one has gone missing twice, and is currently a micro a few feet southwest of the final coordinates. Still an easy find - We'll see how long this one lasts! May have to move or disable this one. Didn't expect this much trouble keeping a cache active at this location!
