Imagine a lot in life
worse than being a Leafs' fan. Sure, the
Leafs have had no sniff at the finals for more than forty years.
But is it worse being a Sabres' fan? To make it
almost all the way only to have it taken
away by an alleged rules violation? (sorry, sabresfan).
Well, we placed this cache just before Super Sunday - XLVI, for
those of you keeping track with Roman numerals. Imagine being a
Bills' fan! Four straight years, four punches to the gut, then
years of mediocrity.
So here's to celebrating one of our favourite holidays, here's to
hope, to excess, to celebration, to good food, and especially to
tolerance (Susan tolerates this every year). |

This easy little crossword may bring some nice memories, or maybe
not. More than likely you don't care, because you probably spend
your Sunday afternoons Geocaching.

Here is a larger, somewhat more print-friendly image of the
puzzle
To obtain the correct co-ordinates to this cache, take note of each
INTERSECTING letter in the puzzle - there are thirteen of them -
and assign a value to each (A=1, etc). Add the numbers together to
get a 3-digit number.
Add that number (divided by 1000 of course) to the posted NORTH
co-ordinates, and subtract the same number (divided by 1000 of
course) from the posted WEST co-ordinates, then go and find the
cache.
We do not recommend looking for this cache at
night. Please cache safely.
