Geocache Description:


Do not go to the posted coordinates, they are BOGUS!  If you do, you will be on a small island in the middle of an ABANDONED LIMEROCK PIT!!!

To figure out the real coordinates for the Geocache, we're going to have to learn a little bit about Official State Pets!  Woof Woof!  Meow Meow!

So, to get the correct coordinates, answer the following 8 multiple choice questions about Official State Pets, and take the number from the answer (A-H) and plug it into this formula:  N 29.1A.BCD  W 082.0E.FGH.

 

1)  What is the only state without a State Dog, but adopted a cat as the Official State Cat in 1985?

     Washington  A=9

     Maine  A=7

     New Hampshire  A=8

2)  What state chose shelter cats and dogs as their Official State Pets in 2013?

     Florida B=2

     California  B=5

     Colorado  B=7

3)  What is the name of the dog that Alaska adopted as the State Dog in 2010?

     Chinook  C-1

     Malamute  C=8

     Siberian Husky  C=5

4)  What state has a Terrier as the State Dog and a Tabby as the State Cat?

     Massachusetts  D=2

     Pennsylvania  D=6

     Rhode Island  D=9

5)  What dog was designated as the State Dog of Pennsylvania in 1965?

     Cairn Terrier  E=7

     Golden Retriever  E=9

6)  What dog did Texas adopt as the State Dog in 2005?

     Chihuahua  F=8

     Western Cattle Dog  F=5

     Blue Lacy  F=1

7)  What state has the Catahoula Leopard Dog (believed to be the first dog breed developed in North America) as the State Dog?

     Minnesota  G=3

     Louisiana  G=7

     South Carolina  G=9

8)  What dog native to the state did North Carolina pick as the State Dog in 1989?

     American Water Spaniel  H=1

     American Foxhound  H=5

     Plott Hound  H=8

 

There you go!  Now that you've learned a little about Official State Pets, use the checker to make sure you got the right coordinates and go get it!  The cache is on a small dirt road that isn't very busy, but pull over so other vehicles can get by.

Good Luck!
