GC2YW6Z Coach (Traditional Cache) in Illinois, United States created by SmokingGnu

This cache has been archived.

SmokingGnu: It is with deep regret that I am archiving “Coach.” I am being asked to archive my cache due to my current inability to perform maintenance during the global COVID-19 pandemic. I was hoping to replace the cache container once my immune system bounces back post chemotherapy, but that is unlikely to occur prior to the 30 day deadline I have been given. Thank you to all who commented on its creativity. It will certainly always be one of my favorites.

Placed at O’Brien Stadium 6/24/2011.

Coach Bob Spoo 1937-2018.

Geocache Description:

Use extreme stealth or avoid attempting this find on game days due to high muggle activity.

A cache for my Dad, who was a Panther for 25 seasons, and now needs to find a hobby. Hope he takes up caching, and this can be his first find! Go EIU!

“We are loyal EIU, we’re loyal and true
‘though the odds be great or small,
we’ll still be cheering you - rah, rah
So fight you Panthers for the glory of our dear name
fight on for Eastern, come on you
Panthers win this game!”

Congrats to Spectral88 for FTF!
