Geocache Description:

March Madness inspired me to place this Geo Art to encourage the Cat's in the NCAA Tournament. This series is located in the John C. Williams Wildlife Management Area and incorporates 6 existing caches along with 47 new ones to hike and find. Look at the map and zoom to see the GO UK. Bring a writing tool to sign the log sheet.

The Unforgettables: This refers to the 1992 team, and more specifically, to the team's four seniors, Richie Farmer, Deron Feldhaus, John Pelphrey, and Sean Woods. During their senior year, after a two-year absence from postseason play due to NCAA probation, they led the Cats to a deep run in the NCAA tournament, losing 104–103 in the East Regional final to Duke in an overtime game often called the greatest game in NCAA basketball history. Adding to the team's popularity was the fact that three (Farmer, Feldhaus, Pelphrey) of the four seniors were from small towns in the eastern half of Kentucky. The quartet's jerseys (not their numbers) were retired by UK immediately after the Duke loss; it is very unusual for any team to retire a jersey so quickly after a player's career is finished.
