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


The United States has produced many famous authors. Find the authors of the following books. Then find the state where that author was born. Match the state and number to find the correct final coordinates for the cache. (Last digit changed as of 18 Feb 2013 because of a need to move the cache a few feet.)


N 40° (MS) (IL) . (IL) (MA) (NJ)

W 112° (IL) (IL) . (CT) (CT) (MS)


0 = "Tarzan of the Apes"

1 = "Last of the Mohicans"

2 = "To Kill a Mockingbird"

3 = "A Wrinkle in Time"

4 = "A Streetcar Named Desire"

5 = "Uncle Tom's Cabin"

6 = "Tamarlane and Other Poems"

7 = "The Call of the Wild"

8 = "Carrie"

9 = "The Outsiders"


How many authors did you get without having to do some research?


We wanted to place this near a library or book store, but couldn't find an open area. This will have to do. Might need to park down the street around the corner.
