Geocache Description:

NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES


First off, I should note that this was really a topical cache when it was placed. Now it's more than a year out of date. It will probably last just another couple months (since it's in the FSU*Noles puzzle pack). If you want it, get it fairly soon.

Another Season come and gone.
At the outset, the Browns, Steelers and Bengals probably thought they were a representative group heading in the right direction. But wait a minute... the Titans, Falcons and Saints also felt they should be added to consideration. Even the lowly Lions and Raiders added that together if they multiplied their efforts like the Dolphins of old, they could get there.

The Chargers with their triple threat figured to be ready to subtract the Bears from the trophy hunt - but it wasn't to be.
The Packers played hard every minute without a season extending reward, and the fractional efforts by the Vikings, Redskins, Bills, Eagles, Cardinals, Raiders and Lions didn't get the job done.

By Super Bowl Sunday, only two teams remained. A midwestern border battle of sorts at that.

Eleven Hard Hats positioned themselves on each side of a line, with "The Duke" between them. It ended up being the Colts over the Bears... but even if it had been the Bears over the Colts you should have been able to determine just where "The Duke" lies.
