Geocache Description:

The cache is not located at the posted coordinates, but it is close by at: N 37° 13.ABC W 121° 52.5DE.

The Crossgates Cabana Club is the home of the Crossgates Gators Swim Team. With the funding and support of the Crossgates Homeowners Association, a new 25-yard pool was built in the Summer of 2011 and the Gators are now able to host swim meets and benefit from home-pool advantage! The Crossgates Gators compete in a Cabana Club Swim League against five other swim teams from neighboring cabana clubs. To solve this puzzle and obtain the actual cache coordinates, you need to match up the Gator's rival cabana clubs with their respective mascots:

A: Almaden 5: Sea Otters
B: Creekside 0: Piranhas
C: Pinehurst 5: Dolphins
D: Santa Teresa 2: Cudas
E: Shadowbrook 6: Sharks

 

The HOA president's permission was obtained to place this cache OUTSIDE on the cabana club grounds, but please exercise discretion during your approach and search to avoid alarming muggle club members and neighboring homeowners. While the cache is accessible 24/7, there is a very vigilant neighborhood watch in force so please be extra discreet if attempting a night-time retrieval. The current incarnation of the cache is a bison tube attached to a larger in-theme object. Please bring your own writing instrument. Good hunting and keep an eye out for Gators!

Congratulations to Cis_E on the original FTF!
