First Finds – States & Counties

[wzbt03]

I decided to separate this subject out from the number of states and countries theme.
Below is a list of Wisconsin Geocachers who can claim to be the first to find a cache for each of our 50 states and DC and each country in the world.
Please add all your finds if they precede any of the dates listed.

Alaska and Texas jumped out at me Sprint24 has them.

Also sbukosky has Nevada first. I don’t know his date but when I logged the book his name was in it before mine.

Only 12 states to go if you want to be first. I plan on doing two or three of the 12 next month.

[wzbt03]

Only ten states to go for first finder honors.
I scored Connecticut and Rhode Island over the Memorial Day holiday weekend.

[Hotdogs_Off_Trail]

I hate to have to bump anyone, but we cached in Arkansas in 3-22-02 at KP #2.

[Team Hambone]

Great Idea. Here are ours that could count as first find records:
Scotland 11-28-01 (logged as not found, does this count?)
Scotland 1-09-04 (found)
Ontario Canada 4-6-02 (? no date on Canada)
TX 10-27-02
Ireland 1-16-04

Well, if no one goes to the east coast for the next couple months, I can claim Delaware (and maybe New Jersey) in October.
