Geocache Description:

Simple GeoCache with an American theme

As a farewell gift to my host country for the last year and a half, I placed this cache with my kids. Jesper1 has agreed to adopt this cache after I have gone.

Although the above coordinates would have been cool to use, they are NOT the true coordinates of the cache. In order to find this cache you'll have to know or learn something about American history.

Year the constitution was ratified = ABCD
Year the Bill of Rights was ratified - Number of Stars on the American flag = EFGH

Coordinates:
N 59.AB.CD
E 18.EF.GH

Cache is a largish plastic container with a blue lid. The orginal contents were:
- Pencil & log book
- Small American flag
- Bag of Carroll Shelby's chili mix (for a great "bowl of red")
- Pack of TGIF matches
- U.S. Penny
- U.S. Dime
- U.S. special edition Quarter (Virginia)
- Mints (from the U.S.)
- Christmas CD
- CD-Rom of Seattle Screen Saver
- Pumpkin Pie candle

I would appreciate it if you could maintain the American theme.

Thank you for some great Caching in Sverige.
