Entering Hog Country Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Chuck Walla: Greetings from Geocaching.com,

Since you have not responded to my reviewer log about your cache, nor did you post a note to your cache page telling me and others of your intention to address the issue with it, the cache has been archived.

Some time ago, I posted a note to your cache page requesting a response from you to post what you were planning to do with the cache on the page and to send me a note. I have no record of a response, and no response tells me that you are not planning on replacing or repairing this cache. If I am wrong with that assumption, please let me know promptly. I can always unarchive the cache for you if needed.

Sincerely,

Chuck Walla

This geocache is located at the eastbound I-40 Arkansas Welcome Center. Cache is a log only camouflaged matchstick container hiding in a secure location. For some reason, we had a very hard time obtaining exact coordinates for this cache. Take a look at the hint if you have problems.

***Facts about The Natural State***

Arkansas shares borders with 6 other U.S states; Missouri, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and Oklahoma.

The Mississippi river defines its eastern border.

An act of state legislation was passed in 1881 to determine how the name Arkansas was to be pronounced. This makes it illegal to pronounce the state’s name incorrectly whilst in Arkansas.

Arkansas was part of the confederacy during the civil war, but rejoined the United States in 1868.

In 1957 President Eisenhower had to send state troops into Little Rock, Arkansas to allow African American Students to attend schools and colleges with white students.

The highest point in Arkansas is Magazine Mountain at 2,753 ft (839 m).

Arkansas is the only U.S state in which diamonds are mined, but they are not mined commercially.

Arkansas has a total of 47 hot springs with an average temperature of 143 °F. This is why the state is known as the Hot Water State.

Voters in Arkansas are only allowed five minutes to cast their votes.

Many famous people have come from Arkansas including US President Bill Clinton, Billy Bob Thornton, Johnny Cash and football coach Paul “Bear” Bryant.

Arkansas has extreme weather due to its position. It can have snow, sleet and ice storms during winter and very hot, humid summers.

Arkansas is considered to be part of the Bible belt and is mostly protestant.

The headquarters of Walmart is in Bentonville, Arkansas.

Arkansas has many lakes and rivers and is home to numerous national parks and state heritage sites.

In 1972, Congress designated The Buffalo River as America’s first national river. This unique status protects this river from commercial or residential development, along with other destructive operations such as damming and gravel mining, thus preserving its scenic beauty and natural wild state forever.

Wooooo Pig Soooie!
