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.
Kansas, situated on the American Great Plains, became the 34th state on January 29, 1861. Its path to statehood was long and bloody. The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 opened the two territories to settlement and allowed the new settlers to determine whether the states would be admitted to the union as “free” or” slave”. North and South competed to send the most settlers into the region which quickly led to violence. The territory became known as “Bleeding Kansas.”
