We Are The Boys – 4xkrat’s 2K Cache
The cache is not at the listed coordinates, but they may give you a general frame of reference to assist you in beginning to solve a puzzle in order to locate and log the cache. The title of the cache may help you determine the actual setting for the puzzle, where many thousands come together on Saturdays in autumn to watch a popular game. In recent years, this particular place has been commonly known as another word for a quagmire.
For those of you that know 4xkrat, you will have a jump on this puzzle. And since he is a connoisseur of puzzle caches, this is the cache type I chose for his 2K cache, as others had done for his 1K cache.
The Puzzle:
To Determine the North Coordinates:
Over the years, three Boys have played at this place (not necessarily at the same time) and have something very special in common. The following may help you determine the identities of these three Boys:

d. Which of the Boys was coached by one of the others? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
e. What is the special thing the Boys all have in common _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Once you have the solutions, use an alpha-numeric key where A=1, B=2….Z=26 to create a numeric value for each of the answers above. (Note: you may need to use a similar methodology at some other point in your search for the puzzle solution.)
Finally, determine the north coordinates as follows:
N 42 18.(a+b+c+d+e+104)
To Determine the West Coordinates:
Use the following:
1. Ire Mississippiensis!
