For a bonus 
, e-mail me a State name that can be found in the
vicinity of the cache.
Postscript: I
didn't know there were two of them until Muddy Dawgs (the FTF -
Congratulations!) found a different State than the one I had in
mind! Either one will work for the second (the original one should be winter-friendly, the
second one probably won't be unless there's no
snow).
