Geocache Description:

What do all the plates mean?

I have always had an interest in State license plates.  I suppose that it started as a child while traveling on vacation.  Often times we would play 'whats that plate' and keep a list of all the different States we would see license plates from.  We almost never saw all fifty States on the same trip.  But once when traveling from Indiana to Florida we did happen to see Hawaii on a small tan pick-up which as a little kid I thought was pretty cool.  I think that trip was the closest we got to seeing them all.
Later in life my father started collecting license plates.  I had no idea that it is such a popular activity.  They have conventions and everything.  He has collected several thousand license plates I am sure.  He seems to be most interested in plates with low numbers.  He also has collected a plate from every State for the year of his birth.  
So I dedicate this cache to my father and his puzzling interest in license plates.
