Geocache Description:


CONGRATS TO QUADWRAYS FOR FTF!

 

TravelBug Party! Room and board available! ALWAYS VACANCY!

 

The cache is NOT located at the posted coordinates. You will have to gather some simple answers in order to get the real location of the TravelBug Tavern! All of the answers to these questions can be found with a simple Google search, and some of them you may already know! I have lived in Dallas for 20+ years, and I love our local sports teams. This is a tribute to them!

Please try to always keep at least 1 trackable in the cache at all times so everyone has a chance to solve the puzzle with a reward. I will regularly stock the box, but I love seeing others come thru the area! So please take what you must and leave what you can!

To get the coordinates for the actual cache, you will answer 10 questions about Dallas sports figures and teams. Each answer is a number in the coordinates needed to get to the actual cache. Every question is numbered, and each number corresponds with the order of the coordinates. I’ll explain what I mean down below. 

First, number your paper 0-9 and answer the following questions. Answers can be anything from a 1 to 3 digit number. Write them down and save the answers.

0. What jersey number did Tony Dorsett wear with the Dallas Cowboys?

1. How many World Series titles do the Texas Rangers have (as of 2017)? 

2. What is longtime Texas Rangers first baseman Rafael Palmeiro’s career batting average?

3. What was Tony Romo’s jersey number?

4. In what game of the 1999 Stanley Cup Finals did Brett Hull score the controversial series clinching goal to win the title?

5. What was Michael Finley’s jersey number while on the Dallas Mavericks?

6. How many career no-hitters did Nolan Ryan have?

7. What number is retired by the Dallas Stars for longtime player Neal Broten?

8. As of 2018, how many Super Bowl titles do the Dallas Cowboys have?

9. As of 2018, how many total playoff series wins do the Texas Rangers have in franchise history?

 

Now that you have your answers, let’s make them coordinates!!! Each questions answer (0-9) makes a spot in the coordinates. It is as follows. And remember that an answer to a question can be anywhere from 1 digit to 3 digits.

N 0° 1.2

W 34° 56.789

So answer 0 is your degrees, answer 1 is your minutes, etc.  The degree symbols and . in each lat/long will not move and are where they need to be in the formula. . 

BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR FINAL ANSWER HERE BEFORE HEADING OUT! DONT FORGET TO ADD THE 0 BEFORE YOUR LONGITUDE!!!

If you have any questions or are confused, please do not hesitate to message me!

FTF gets a Steve Nash rookie card, some old Rangers baseball cards, and their choice of some sweet swag! Trackable inventory will begin with 3 bugs.
