Geocache Description:


The listed coordiantes are fake.  Do not go here, unless you want to take a dip at the pool at the Upper St. Clair pool in Boyce Mayview Park.

This series of caches, that I will be putting out, will highlight useless trivia about each of the 50 states.  Each puzzle cache will have 5 useless facts. There will be 10 caches in this series.  This will be the first cache.  No two states will be used for any of these caches.  We all know that each state has a ton of useless information, so I am going to highlight just a small nugget from each state.  Some of the facts will be quiet easy to figure out, while others will be a little bit more puzzling.  But a simple search on the interwebs will help you in your quest.  If you are lucky enough, you might even stumble across the site that I will be using to gather my facts from, so you could have an upper arm in solving these puzzles.  So, lets get started with our first one.

To solve for the coordinates for this cache, you will need to answer these six questions.  The final coordinates can be found at N40 19.ABC W080 07.0DE

A - True or False - Hawai'i has an interstate highway
True - 6
False - 7

B - What city rejected the Winter Olympics in 1976 after it was awarded to them?
1 - Salt Lake City, Utah
2 - Denver, Colorado
3 - Anchorage, Alaska

C - In 1992, the possum was selected as this state's offical animal.  Which state is it?
4 - Georgia
5 - South Carolina
6 - Tennessee

D - What state is known as the "world's popcorn capital"?
7 - Iowa
8 - Indiana
9 - Illinois

E - This state boosts to have the world's largest ball of twine.  Which state is it?
4 - Kansas
5 - Michigan
6 - Connecticut

The cache that you will be searching is a small lock n lock container.  The area of this park has signs up that say no dogs allowed, however, when placing this cache, I saw plenty of people disregard this sign.  Its your choice if you want to disregard it or not.  But it does say your park priviledges will be revoked and you could face up to $1000 dollar fine, so thats your choice.  Don't blame me if you get caught here with your dog and you are either  kicked out of the park or are fined.  I warned you ahead of time!  You will need to be careful while searching because you will not be far from the atheletic fields either, so muggles will be able to see you while signing the log.  I have placed it in a big enough tree that you should have some cover.  Good luck and enjoy!
