Geocache Description:


***NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES***

This geoart is part of a nationwide project:
THE USA 50 STATE STAR GEOART celebrating every state in the USA


State Fact: The Illinois Star was published in 2018 to celebrate the state's bicentennial. Illinois became a state in 1818, the 21st state to be admitted. The state capital is Springfield.

There are 50 caches. All but the final (#50) are bison tubes. See the final for its special instructions based upon the state facts.

MAINTENANCE NOTE After a maintenance run in late November, 2022, numbers 10 and 37 have new locations. Those who did the numbers before late November will have two updates to perform.

SOLUTION TIP (only on this page): If you do the solutions in roughly numerical order, with a few exceptions, you will travel counter clockwise N-W-S-E around the star.
