About The Series:
"ROAD
TO THE SUPER BOWL"
Welcome to the NFL football
season. What would the NFL season be like without a new football
cache series to find? Throughout the football weeks, bluepant and
mob1971, will be hiding a series of different style NFL team
caches. These caches hope to excite the football fanatics and also
teach the not so football savvy some things about each team. These
caches will provide clues and information to our Super Bowl cache

critical to finding the final cache "Road to the Super Bowl".

with the questions and answers in preparation for the FINAL exam.

NOT POST any of the answers or questions in
your logs. If you have any questions regarding the trivia

playbook will contain a variety of questions from the above caches
in order to obtain the "Road to the Super Bowl" coordinates

Answers to FINAL playbook will come from a number of caches you
found during the season, so I would hate for you to try to skip one
or two of the caches and miss a question). Have fun and enjoy this
series.
