The cache is not at the posted location. These coordinates will take you to the clubhouse of the now defunct Skyline Golf Course. To claim the cache, follow the guidelines below to solve for A - F, replacing the letters with numbers to give you the final cache coordinates.
Back in the Day refers to Wichita Falls in the late 1970's and early 1980's. Having lived in the area during that time, I have seen businesses, favorite restaurants and stores come and go.
To solve the puzzle and find the cache, I have identified twenty businesses from that time period that no longer exist. Using the provided area map, mark the location where each business was located. The map is divided into ten colored-grids (numbered 0 - 9) that will be used to answer the six questions to give you the actual cache location. The closed businesses are listed alphabetically:
01 - Best Products
02 - Bonanza
03 - Daniel's Bakery
04 - El Babo's Mexican Restaurant
05 - Fuddrucker's Hamburgers
06 - Funland Amusement Park
07 - Graham Central Station
08 - Hacienda Hernandez Mexican Restaurant
09 - Kiva Inn
10 - Levi Straus Manufacturing
11 - O'Phalen's Bar & Grill
12 - Pizza Inn
13 - Pizza Planet
14 - Putt Putt Golf Course
15 - S & H Green Stamp Store
16 - Shakey's Pizza Parlor
17 - Sirloin Stockade
18 - Tinker's Catfish
19 - Twin Falls Drive-In
20 - Zeno's Pizza
The final location can be found at these coordinates: N:33 56.ABC W:098 31.DEF
Point A - the grid number containing two (2) location
Point B - the grid number containing the western-most location
Point C - the grid number with the eastern-most location
Point D - the grid number with the northern-most location
Point E - the grid number with the most locations
Point F - the grid number containing three (3) locations
Remember - the time period to locate the businesses was mid-1970's to mid-1980's! If you didn't live in the area during this period, talk to a neighbor, a family member, or Google to find the location Back in the Day!
One Clue. If you have a business location that is 'off the grid' identify the major road it was next to and trace it back into the grid. For example, Uncle Lynn's Catfish restaurant was located east of Wichita Falls on US287 in a pasture south of the highway. This would trace back to Grid 1 on the map since it was south of US287.
Good luck and have fun solving Back in the Day!
