QUADRANT LOCATOR: The quadrant indicators (in brackets after each location name) are provided to help locate an attraction. The quadrant is based on dividing the state into four quadrants with the apex running through the geographical center of the state. For some states with outlying geographic areas, this may present a distorted view but is the best way I can think of to determine this information.

GPS COORDINATES: Note that GPS coordinates are gathered from a variety of sources and are only as accurate as those sources. Check against other resources such as maps, local information etc., before driving major distances to a remote site. Also, please let us know of any errors in GPS coordinates that you may discover.

NOTE: If price is shown: 0$ = free, $ = under $10, $$ = $10 to $30, $$$ = $30 and above
