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

George Walker Bush, the 43rd President of the United States, was born in Connecticut. He is a member of the Bush political family, with roots in the state extending three generations.
Connecticut's official nickname, adopted in 1959, is "The Constitution State," based on its colonial constitution of 1638–39.
Unofficially (but popularly) Connecticut is also known as "The Nutmeg State". The origins of the nutmeg connection to Connecticut are unknown. It may have come from its sailors returning from voyages with nutmeg (which in the 18th and 19th centuries was a very valuable spice). It may have originated in the early machined sheet tin nutmeg grinders sold by early Connecticut peddlers. It is also facetiously said to come from Yankee peddlers from Connecticut who would sell small carved nobs of wood shaped to look like nutmeg to unsuspecting customers
