Lots of threads unraveled from the puzzle. But no state or specific location name discovered yet. We are still on the hunt.

Today I was reminded of a treasure I went searching for a few years ago. The hunt creator assured me the location was safe and it was not. It was super dangerous. I came across a newspaper article from that same year, about two rescues that had taken place at that very location.
So I just want everyone to know, for my BOTG hunt, you do not need to climb any mountains, scale any cliffs, or navigate any water (oceans, lakes, rivers). No spelunking in caves, no climbing any rocks or trees. The token can be reached by car and a short walk, and once you know where you are going, google maps can give you directions for a safe route if you are unfamiliar with the area :-)
Good luck everyone!

I bet I know which one you're referring to.

I have received a message that the token has been found. I'm just waiting for the official submission with photos before announcing the hunt solved.

I ordered some things for future prizes and when the arrived yesterday, they had thrown in a few unexpected items.
So I'm going to continue this hunt for a little longer as an armchair hunt, so you still have a chance to win something :-)
Here's what I want you to do if you choose to continue:
1. First, identify all the states that fall into this category (one of them is correct):
• It shares its first letter with at least one other state • It does not start with the letters A, M, N or O • It is east of the Mississippi River
then,
2. The puzzle image is a google map image of the location. 3. The directions to the exact spot (once you identify the location) are on the bottom of the page, and 4. You can mark on the puzzle image exactly where the token was hidden. 5. Decipher the puzzle, follow all the directions and pinpoint the spot on the puzzle image.
6. Send me the answer to #1 (all the states that fit the description) along with an image of the map, marked with the exact spot. Use my g-mail: forgottenhistoryhunt@gmail.com
And here is what I'm offering for an "armchair hunt" prize: Two solar system coins.
This hunt will officially end either when I get a correct answer or it's time for me to post my Halloween hunt, whichever happens first :-)
Good luck!
-FHH
