Geocache Description:

Cache is NOT at 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.  For these letterboxes, please do not take the stamp, and bring your own inkpad.


There are quite a few countries in the world- generally, speaking, 195 or 196 are the widely accepted numbers (dependent on your opinion of Taiwan). The UN recognizes 206 "states"- 190 countries whose sovereignty is undisputed, and 16 whose sovereignty is disputed by 1 or more other countries. The bare minimum number of countries might be 189 countries, but if governments-in-exile and micronations are counted there are over 300.

To find the final, you must examine these 5 country flags. For the 2nd and 4th flags, you'll need to add 1 to your results:
