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 American flag is flown at half-staff, or halfway down the pole, typically to commemorate a deceased member of the federal government, or to acknowledge an event. The general rules are as follows:
- For 30 days after the death of a President or President-Elect.
- For 10 days after the death of a Vice President, a Supreme Court Justice (active or retired), or the Speaker of the House.
- From the day of death until internment of an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, high ranking members of various departments, a former Vice President, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, or a Governor.
- For 2 days after the death of a member of Congress.
- On Memorial Day, until noon.
- On September 11th.
- By presidential proclamation, typically for a tragedy.
