Geocache Description:


Welcome to the USA Geoart! The caches are obviously not at the posted coordinates, but they are all located along Route 3 in NH and Route 102 in Vermont. They are all relatively simple finds because I want everyone to be able to find these caches, regardless of age or physical ability. But to find these caches, you must solve the following questions about each state’s symbols. The website I used to gather the information was https://statesymbolsusa.org, so please use the same website to avoid any discrepancies.

In each cache, there is a special little surprise for the FTF if they want it, a little homemade magnet of each state. Will you be the first to collect all fifty?

I also need to give a huge shout out to my Mom, Mummie91957, for helping me immensely with this geoart series. Without her, this geoart would’ve taken much longer to plan out. 

Idaho joined the union on July 3, 1890. It is bordered by the Canadian province of British Columbia to the north, Montana and Wyoming to the east, Utah and Nevada to the south, and Oregon and Washington to the west. Idaho is twice as large as the six New England states combined. It produces more potatoes and trout than any other state in the nation. It is known for the 72 types of precious and semi-precious stones it produces, some of which are exclusive to the state.
