Geocache Description:

A cache to test your power of imagination

The final is not at the given coords but is somewhere nearby in south Boulder.

 

In a totally logical world, what would be the obvious name for:

 

A new baseball team at the Vatican       __ _________________

A new football team in Valletta          __ _________________

A new hockey team in Dhahran             __ _________________

A new baseball team on Alcatraz          __ _________________

A new basketball team in Dublin          __ _________________

A new hockey team in Kabul               __ _________________

A new football team in Bern              __ _________________

A new hockey team in the S. Shetlands    __ _________________

A new football team in Bangalore         __ _________________

A new baseball team in Beijing           __ _________________

A new basketball team at Hogwarts        __ _________________

A new baseball team in Mogadishu         __ _________________

A new baseball team at Kensington Palace __ _________________

A new basketball team in Pamplona        __ _________________

 

Now take the numerical value of the first letter in each answer (A=1, B=2, etc.) and add them all up.      X = _____

 

Set your GPSr to decimal degrees.  The final is at

 

  39.(98447 + X), -105.(23104 + X)

 

When you determine the final location, you will have several possible options;  but of course, it should be obvious.

Mag box; free parking readily available, bring a pen
