Geocache Description:

This cache is placed to honor the opening of the FAU Football Stadium. Both members of team WhyTek99 are FAU alumni and are proud of their Owls and their new on campus stadium.

The location of the original final has been put through the wood chipper. The final has been reworked and the formula has been updated. The new cache container is now a bison. Please bring your own pen.



This is a 2 stage multi-cache. The waypoint listed will take you to stage 1. You will need to use the item at stage 1 to calculate the waypoint for stage 2, the final location of the cache.

At stage 1, you are looking for something that contains some common geocache markings that should help identify it as a geocache item. It will also contain two dates (Month/Day/Year & Month/Day/Year). If you're stuck, try the hint for inspiration.

The final location of the cache is: N 26° 22.XXX W 080° 06.YYY

To determine the values of XXX and YYY, you will need to find the two dates on the item located at stage 1 and use those dates in the following equations. Use the first date (before the &) to calculate the North XXX coordinate. Use the second date (after the &) to calculate the West YYY coordinate.

N 26° 22.XXX
XXX = 2493 - Month + Day - Year

W 080° 06.YYY
YYY = 2211 - Month + Day - Year
