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 MONON SPIKE is a traveling trophy between the Purdue and IU Volleyball teams. In volleyball, the two teams usually play each other 2 times a year, so an "I" or "P" link is only added to the trophy for a series sweep during the season by one team.

Question: True or False? As of 2018, there are more "P" links on the Monon Spike than there are "I" links.

A)True- N40 58.693 W084 57.580
B)False- N40 58.743 W084 57.490
