[Az-Geocaching] Stats?

[HighwayHavoc]

I pretty much figured it was a joke, but I thought I would ask
anyway.

Legend has it (I haven't seen proof of this), that there was a
dispute concerning the border between Maine and Canada in the way
back when. One evening some U.S. fellas gave some Canadians a gift of
booze and later that night moved the stakes delineating the border
north 500 yards, thus gaining additional territory for the Mainians.

Like I said, this could be an urban legend, but I like the story.
