Sports 101 Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Turtle_Sask: Was in the area, so I checked up on this one with the recent DNF. Sure enough I could not find it either. Decided it was time to archive this one. Thanks to those who found this cache over the years.

Geocache Description:

Cache is NOT at the listed coordinates!

The cache can be found by answering the multiple choice questions and filling in the letters:

N 51° AB.CDE W 114° FG.HIJ


Important I changed the final location for the cache by about 100 feet due to the original cache getting destroyed, everything is updated on the cache page and the geo checker. I Created another container(September, 2016), looking for a small camoed L'N'L container. Thought I should mention this because if you solved the cache before the first one disappeared, you will need to go through the questions one more time to get the updated coordinates.


It has been a couple of years since my last hide, figured I should hide another fun/easy mystery cache. Do you know a lot about sports? Or are you not much of a sports guy/gal? Rergardless you should not have a hard time answering most of these questions! I designed them to be fairly easy but im sure you will have to look a few of them up as they cover a variety of different sports! 

I left a 10$ Tim's gift card as a FTF prize! It's Roll up season!

 

 Congrats rustywa on the FTF!
