Geocache Description:

The above coordinates ARE the location of the cache. However, to log this cache as a find you must meet
the “Challenge” requirements documented below. I was surprised at how few NFL Team Names are out there.

NFL Football is my favorite sport so of course I am going to create a challenge associated with it. As a kid I remembered those little football helmets and putting my team up against all the rest as they played each other Sunday to Sunday. Unfortunately, my team back then never won the big one. But that did not deter me from loving the sport.

Your challenge if you so choose is to find at least 20 caches different NFL Football Team Names in them. Not the city or state but the identity of the team (of course if you find a cache called the Indianapolis Colts or Minnesota Vikings that would be perfect but not necessary the Colts or Vikings would suffice).

You can use the non plural of the words for teams such as “Leaving on a Jet Plane” would qualify for the Jets and “Oscar Brown” would qualify for the Browns.

In addition to finding 20 different NFL Football Team names please find at least (3) different types of caches or categories (icons) when posting your finds. (Traditional, Multi, Unknown, Letterbox, Web, Virtual, Events. etc). This gives the challenge that extra star boost to the difficulty.

The NFL Football Team Names you can choose from are:

49ERS, BEARS, BENGALS, BILLS, BRONCOS, BROWNS, BUCCANEERS, CARDINALS, CHARGERS, CHIEFS, COLTS, COWBOYS, DOLPHINS, EAGLES, FALCONS, GIANTS, JAGUARS, JETS, LIONS, PACKERS, PANTHERS, PATRIOTS, RAIDERS, RAMS, RAVENS, REDSKINS, SAINTS, SEAHAWKS, STEELERS, TEXANS, TITANS, VIKINGS

You have no time limit on finding the caches. In fact, you may have already completed the cache requirements. But, if you haven’t… now you have some target caches to find.
