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.
There were many flags present during the American Revolution, representing certain units, battles, the military, or the revolution itself. For the first few years, there was no set rule to the design of US flags, until the Flag Resolution of 1777, which stated that "The Flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white on a blue field, representing a new constellation." The first "official" flag was hoisted at the Siege of Stanwix on August 3rd, 1777.
