Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Purdue Boilermakers Geoart Series, presented by 13RPoor. This series is the first geoart series in the Fort Wayne area. 13RPoor is a proud Purdue alumni, and obsessive Purdue sports fan! Coordinates are not at posted location. In this series, you will be required to answer trivia-type questions about Purdue University to find the true coordinates; including university history, traditions, and sports. Most answers can be found with a google search, while some might take a little bit more research to find the answer (don’t worry, 13RPoor is a nice fellow and will help a struggling cacher). Lots of hours were put into making everything for this series, so please do your part to take care of the caches by replacing them as you found them, watching out for muggles, and CITO. PLEASE POST DNF’s TO ALERT ME OF POTENTIAL PROBLEMS!!!! I hope you enjoy the series as much as I enjoyed making the series. Remember, Geocaching may be dangerous! Boiler Up, Hammer Down, Hail Purdue!

The Purdue Memorial Union is dedicated to the Purdue students who had fought in World War I. The building includes several restaurants, lounges, and student organization offices, as well as a bowling alley and a hotel. The design of the building follows the theme of Purdue University, as the first thing you notice when you walk in is it looks like a train station.
