Geocache Description:

This Geoart is part of a nationwide project; THE USA 50 STATE STAR GEOART celebrating every state in the USA ! Our Goal is to have a "50 STATE STAR" in each state of the USA. Look for the states that proudly display the "STAR" !

This Geoart is part of a Nationwide project;
THE USA 50 STATE STAR GEOART
celebrating every state in the USA !

This 50 State Star celebrates the "Old Line State" of MARYLAND.
The Maryland Star contains 51 Star caches, which are all puzzles. Each cache page will present Maryland trivia - from past to present, people, places and such stuff.

Maryland is a state of great natural beauty, history, and culture. One of the best ways to encounter that diversity is to simply get out and explore!
In order to help you experience all that the 'Old Line State' has to offer, the Maryland tourism board has developed eighteen different driving tours. Each trip is designed to highlight a specific theme and includes an itinerary filled with fun activities such as hiking, boating, and antiquing which can be found at selected points along the route.
In order to find the final location of this cache, you will need to pass a quiz about the many interesting sites located on these routes.

Instructions:

Visit Maryland's tourism site and read about the Scenic Byways program.
Click this link and pass the quiz.

Maybe you will be inspired to take a roadtrip and visit some new areas in Maryland! Have fun!

This geoart series is mostly made up of multiple choice questions. A handful have slightly harder puzzles--the five "points" of the star, and the center: GC4YVQX, GC4YVVG, GC4YVQY, GC4YCKN, GC4YVVC, and GC4YVNQ. For the multiple choice questions, below is a link to an outside web page that will allow you to download a corrected gpx file if all of the questions are answered correctly.
