Geocache Description:


*THIS GEOCACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES*

This GeoArt is to celebrate Missouri turning 200 years old this year.  What better way to celebrate the Bicentennial!! 

MISSOURI BECOMES THE 24TH STATE ADMITTED INTO THE UNITED STATES AUGUST 10, 1821.

You will learn about some famous Missourian's while solving this GeoArt.

Dick Van Dyke, original name Richard Wayne Van Dyke, (born December 13, 1925, West Plains, Missouri, U.S.), American actor and comedian known for his affable charm, comedic timing, and loose-limbed physical comedy.  Turns out Van Dyke’s parents came to West Plains from Illinois in order to have the baby—because they weren’t yet married, and the Christa Hogan Hospital was one of the few hospitals at the time that would receive babies born out of wedlock.  So Missouri has a small claim to Van Dyke, but he really grew up in Illinois.

What year was he born?

A. N 38 25.886  W 93 21.786          1925
B. N 38° 26.270 W 93° 21.472         1930
C. N 38° 25.866 W 93° 21.301         1919
