The States and Capitals caches are small 1.5 X 1.5 containers – no film canisters on this trail
Please leave the containers at each location as this is not designed to be a power trail where one can grab and replace the containers. We have included multiple pages for each log so that the log sheets will endure 100’s of signatures - feel free to add a sheet to the container if you come prepared with pre-printed logs, however, please leave the original logs in place so that we can avoid unnecessary maintenance.
The road is sandy/rocky in spots and we would recommend a high clearance vehicle.
Hope you enjoy a fun day in the desert as you find out a bit more about the 50 states/capitals – TVGA

The Territory of Arkansaw was organized on July 4, 1819, and on June 15, 1836, the State of Arkansas was admitted to the Union as the 25th state.
The name Arkansas derives from the same root as the name for the State of Kansas. The Kansas tribe of American Indians are closely associated with the Sioux tribes. The word is a French pronunciation of a Quapaw (a related "Kaw" tribe) word meaning "land of downriver people" or "people of the south wind". The pronunciation of Arkansas was made official by an act of the state legislature in 1881 after a dispute between the two U.S. Senators from Arkansas. One wanted to pronounce the name ar-KAN-z?s and the other wanted AR-k?n-saw.
