Geocache Description:

Cache is NOT at posted coordinates.  Don't go there unless you'd like to take a 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.  For these letterboxes, please do not take the stamp, and bring your own inkpad.
