Geocache Description:


SUPER BOWL XL

POSTED COORDINATES ARE NOT THE LOCATION OF THIS CACHE

This cache is #5 out of 7 in the Steelers “Six” Appeal Cache Series. The actual location of each cache is within a ½ mile and with a little bit of research, you should have no trouble finding the coordinates.

The cache is an ammo can with the following coordinates:

North: 48 N K+D . A M E
West: 55 F B . B-L H-L I+C

Using the clue in Super Bowl XIV Cache combined with answering the following questions will help you find the coordinates:

1. The number retrieved from Super Bowl XIV Cache goes here: AB
2. The final score was Pittsburgh CD, Seattle EF.
3. The MVP of Super Bowl XL wore jersey number GH.
4. Running back Willie Parker set a Super Bowl record for the longest run with a IJ yard touchdown run in the 3rd quarter.
5. The game was held in Detroit Michigan and was the last game of Jerome “The Bus” Bettis’s career. He wore jersey #KL.
6. Ben Roethlisberger only completed M passes.
7. Antwaan Randle El threw one pass on a trick play that turned out to be a NP yard touchdown to Hines Ward.

Don’t forget the number on the card inside the cache!!

STEELERS “SIX” APPEAL CACHE SERIES

Super Bowl XLIII was held on Sunday, February 2, 2009 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, FL. It was a very dramatic game in which the Pittsburgh Steelers pulled off an amazing comeback in the dying seconds of the 4th quarter to become the only franchise in NFL history to win it six times.

This cache is a tribute to this great franchise and this great feat. It consists of 6 individual caches each representing a Steelers’ Super Bowl victory and a 7th final cache that represents the franchise itself – the Steelers Cache.

Cache 1: Super Bowl IX
Cache 2: Super Bowl X
Cache 3: Super Bowl XIII
Cache 4: Super Bowl XIV
Cache 5: Super Bowl XL
Cache 6: Super Bowl XLIII
Cache 7: The Steelers Cache


Each Super Bowl cache contains a laminated card with a picture of the coveted Vince Lombardi trophy. On this card there is also a number required to find the next cache. Once you find the final Super Bowl cache, you will have all the info you need to locate the Steelers cache.

Additionally, some homework is going to have to be done prior to setting out on your quest for the six Super Bowls. With some research, you should have no problem finding the answers you need while gaining some priceless knowledge of this blue-collared team’s great achievements. Once you have done this homework, you will be set to go caching without having to return for more research.

All caches in this series are WINTER-FRIENDLY and would be a great ski-doo (or quad) run.

The caches vary in size but they should all have enough room to carry some tradables. As well, some of the caches have a “guardian of the cache” (Steelers player figurines) – These are actually necessary clues and should not be removed please.

***MUGGLES ALERT***

Although there will not be a high number of muggles for this caching expedition, those muggles that you do encounter will be very curious by nature of their personalities and the remote area you are in. Please be very careful not to let them see you retrieving or re-hiding the caches.
