Geocache Description:

As part of our ongoing streak caches, starting at 69, we present to you our 25th hide, "Cache 76"

As of this cache placement, our streak has extended much faster then we can keep up hiding caches (day 111!)

76 has many meanings:

  • 76 (formerly Union 76) was a chain of gas stations founded in 1932. Their big rotating Orange ball with a blue 76 on it was originally designed for the 1962 Seattle World's Fair. Their name celebrated our Independance in 1776. Coincidentally, the octane rating of their gas was initially 76.  Imagine how much your car would knock and ping if you used 76 octane fuel today?
  • Roman Emperor Hadrian was born January 24, 76. His birth name was: Publius Aelius Hadrianus Buccellanus, but when he became Emperor in 117, his name became: Caesar Publius Aelius Traianus Hadrianus Buccellanus Augustus. He reigned until his death in 138. He is known for building Hadrian's wall which was the northern boundary of Roman Britain. He also re-built the Pantheon and constructed the Temple of Venus and Roma.
  • Interstate 76 crosses the Walt Whitman Bridge into the city that is home of the NBA team 76ers. Five dollars please, to leave New Jersey!
  • In urban talk, the term "76" is used when you have no idea how to end an awkward or embarrassing conversation. "Uhh... well.... ummm..... 76!!!. "   It is also another term for something that is so stupid: "that its so 76!"
  • This cache should not make you feel 76
  • It shouldn't take you more than 76 seconds to open, sign and replace the log!
