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 town of Atlanta, IL, has a 19-foot fiberglass Paul Bunyan holding, not an axe, but a seven-foot hot dog in a bun. Before his restaurant days, he held a muffler. It is one of many Paul Bunyans that used to populate Route 66 usually repurposed into different characters and uses. Wilmington has the Gemini Giant, a Paul Bunyan holding a rocket and wearing a robot space helmet. In Springfield, the muffler was removed and replaced with an American flag. In Libertyville, Paul, another muffler man, got his axe back.

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