Geocache Description:

Cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.  Don't go there unless you'd like to swim or take a boat ride.


This cache is part of a series called "Flag Day in Flag City."  Findlay, Ohio, is officially designated "Flag City, U.S.A." and is the Flag Capital of the United States.  As such, it seemed only fitting that there be a flag GeoArt in the area to commemorate this fact.

All cache GZs have accessible parking at the reservoir, in a park, or in a cemetery.  Please only go for the cemetery finals during daylight hours, and respect all posted hours at any parks.


The University of Findlay is the private college located in the titular city. Founded in 1882 as Findlay College, it became the University of Findlay in 1989. The school currently hosts approximately 3,700 students in over 60 majors, including a large Equestrian program, with stables located to the south of town. The overall campus includes several large farms to accommodate the program.

UF's sports teams are known as the Findlay Oilers. The Oilers participate in 24 collegiate sports. They are part of the NCAA Division II as well as GLIAC (Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference). The 2 equestrian teams are part of the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association. The Oilers' mascot is Derek the Oiler.
