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: Due to the population and influence of the Chicago area, Illinois often divides itself between the Chicago area and everyone else. On the map, everyone else is south or downstate. While a lot could be said about Chicago, such as the Cubs, stuffed pizza, and Mayor Daley, the state facts for the Illinois Star will give downstate its due . . . with occasional nods to Chicago.

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

Find this cache by adjusting its posted coordinates
N +1.234 W +1.118

The Illinois Star is a joint project of the Peoria Area Cachers and Central Illinois Geocaching Association.
