Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:


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



Indianapolis pron.: /ˌɪndiəˈnæpɵlɨs/ (abbreviated Indy /ˈɪndi/) is the capital city of the U.S. state of Indiana, and also the county seat of Marion County. As of the 2010 census, the city's population is 829,718. It is the twelfth largest city in the United States, and one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the United States.
 
Indianapolis is now the second largest city in the Midwest after Chicago, surpassing nearby Detroit at the 2010 Census.
 
Historically, Indianapolis has oriented itself around government (a byproduct of its state capital function) and industry, particularly manufacturing. Over the late decades of the 20th century, the city's Unigov began a long process to revitalize the downtown area. Today, Indianapolis has a much more diversified economy, contributing to the fields of education, health care, and finance. Tourism is also a vital part of the economy of Indianapolis, and the city plays host to numerous conventions and sporting events. Of these, perhaps the most well-known are the annual Indianapolis 500, Brickyard 400, and NHRA U.S. Nationals. Other major sporting events include the Men's and Women's NCAA Basketball Tournaments. Indianapolis also hosted the 2012 Super Bowl, a game that featured the New York Giants defeating the New England Patriots.
 
Both Forbes and Livability.com rank Indianapolis as one of the best downtowns in the United States citing "more than 200 retail shops, more than 35 hotels, nearly 300 restaurants and food options, movie theaters, sports venues, museums, art galleries and parks" as attractions. Greater Indianapolis has seen moderate growth among U.S. cities. The population of the metropolitan statistical area was 1,756,241 according to the 2010 Census, making it the 34th-largest in the United States. The 2010 population of the Indianapolis combined statistical area, a larger trade area, was 2,080,782, the 23rd-largest in the country.
