Geocache Description:


This is a puzzle cache. The cache is not at the listed coordinates. You must first solve the puzzle to find the correct coordinates.

Growing up, I had always heard about how "groovy" the 70's were. I did a little research, and now I'm not so sure. Granted, my limited research yielded only a few examples of history from the 70's, so my view is probably skewed a little. For those either unfamiliar with the decade, or in need of a reminder, here are some of the history bullet points I found.

Billie Jean King vs. Bobbie Riggs
- Nothing says peace and love quite like the unending gender controversy that this match only served to exemplify. Decades later, this event is still the source of countless emasculation shots.

Three Mile Island
- Still can't believe that people might take issue with the potential to glow in the dark... might have been the whole radiation thing.

The "Who" Concert Incident
- Hailing from Cincinnati brings this one close to home. I'm happy to pay for my assigned seating.

The Fall Of Saigon
- Little can tug at your heart like the images of people out of time and left behind. On a positive note, it would serve as the catalyst image from which a hit Broadway musical would later be written.

Attica Riot
- Go ahead and start chanting now if you must. And you wonder how Batman's foes always got out of Arcum.

Juan Peron Returns To Argentina
- Was he a champion for the people, or a dictator of a country? Either way, there must be something about the 70's that seem to inspire hit Broadway musicals.

Feel free to try and change my view. For now, I'll stick with the 80's... big hair, color-changing t-shirts, spandex shorts, and all.
