Each cache will contain a trivia question about that team that could be critical to finding the final cache "Road to the Super Bowl". Please make sure you take time to read your playbook and keep up with the questions and answers in preparation for the FINAL exam (Super Bowl week). Please DO NOT POST any of the answers or questions in your logs. If you have any questions regarding the trivia questions, feel free to email bluepant or mob1971. The FINAL playbook will contain 17 questions in order to obtain the "Road to the Super Bowl" coordinates (HINT: Answers to FINAL playbook will come from 17 of the 32 caches you found during the season, so I would hate you tried to skip one or two of the caches and miss a question). Have fun and enjoy this series.

DALLAS TEXANS (1952)

The Dallas Texans were a one year wonder. Established in 1952 the Texans started with 30,000 fans and by the end of the year they were lucky to get 2,000 fans to attend the games. The Texans went 1-11 that year and folded only after one season. The Texans’ inaugural game actually began on an optimistic note - they scored first. Just minutes into the game the Texans recovered a punt fumbled by a Giants defensive back. Two plays later the Texans scored. The Texans missed the extra point (something they would do six more times during the season) and the Giants went on to win 24-6. The last three games were against the Detroit Lions, Philadelphia Eagles, and the Chicago Bears.......

Trivia Questions:

1. Texans won only one game in 1952...
Take total combined score of the game and subtract 45 = (AB)

N 35 04.AB0            W 080 50.710 

 

PLEASE place the cache back in the location you found it, it has some “camo” around it for a reason.

Don't park on 485 nor Johnston...tweezers are recommended. Please be careful with cache container as it will take steady hands to get and replace the log..
