Geocache Description:

There has been a lot of media attention right now focused on two famous men named Sanders.  It seemed to me that it would make a fun topic for a cache! **Daycaching only please**


About me: I am not a big fan of mystery caches so this was designed to be very easy. I have listed all the websites I used to locate the information; but I’m sure much of it can be figured out without needing to go to these exact sites. This is also my first attempt at creating a cache, so please be nice! But also I appreciate any and all constructive feedback.

Just plug the answer into its proper location on the example. N45 AB.CDE W122 FG.HIJ

B. Number of n's in Bernie Sanders' name.

E. Colonel Sanders was born on this day in September.(x-4=answer)

F. Which Sanders said, “Americans should not have to live in fear that they will go bankrupt if they get sick.”? Bernie = 5, Colonel= 3

G. At the bottom of every page of the site berniesanders.com there is a message “PAID FOR BY FRIENDS OF BERNIE SANDERS” finished with a phrase in parenthesis. How many words are in this phrase?
