Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the coordinates shown. In fact, I do NOT recommend using those coords as GZ because it's the middle of an intersection!

Instead, you must do some research. 1955 was a good year. Not necessarily for the Philadelphia Eagles, but it was a good year for me. So let's step back in history and learn something about the Eagles in 1955.

Answer the following questions, putting all of the numbers together in a row to see the coords. Let's take a look at the 1955 Philadelphia Eagles.

Don Johnson? Played for the Eagles? OK, I guess it's a different Don Johnson. What was his number?

On October 30, the Eagles played the Pittsburgh Steelers. What was the Steelers' final score?

How many interceptions did Bob Hudson have?

What was the defensive rushing yardage in the first game of the season against the Cleveland Browns?

The number of losses the Eagles had at the end of the season.

Hal Giancanelli had how many punt returns?

Chuck Bednarik's age plus 10.

Check out number 20. How many punt returns did he have that resulted in touchdowns?

How many b's are in number 20's name? And what kind of name IS that? Oh, wait, that one doesn't help you find the coords, but geez, what kind of name IS that?

And finally, how many losses did Quarterback Adrian Burke have?

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.

Hope you had fun looking up the stats for the 1955 Eagles. Have fun finding the cache. It is a small container, just enough to hold a log and maybe very small trackables. There is a pencil in there but I advise you to BYOP. Please be sure to zip the log bag closed. FTF Prize is an unactivated FTF geocoin.

I believe the area where the cache is located is open dawn til dusk, so please, no night caching. If you choose to do a night run, you're on your own if a LEO shows up! I respectfully ask that you not jeopardize the cache location by doing that. As always, please practice stealth when muggles are present.
