HBUSA started in 2018 with 204 geocaches published in Michigan.
This year we hope to surpass 250 caches and events to celebrate America's semiquincentennial!
The Sparkle GeoArt consist of 54 caches:
41 Sparks + 13 for the black wand.
(a UV light will enhance the sparkle!)
To see the Sparkle GeoArt, filter for HB250❇
There are 50 states to visit so pack your suitcase!
You can visit them one at a time on your own or take one of the 4 Road Trip caches to visit several of the states along the way.
Make sure to prepare no matter which route you choose.
Cache is NOT at posted coordinates!
Welcome to HB250❇ ROAD TRIP series (#1-#4)
Completing all four HB250❇ ROAD TRIP caches will visit all 50 HB250❇ STATE caches along the way. IF you plan to use a Road Trip to find several state caches along the way, make sure you have the final coordinates already solved before embarking. A list of states (alphabetical order, not Road trip visiting order) will be listed with each Road Trip cache to help you plan your adventure.
