With a new football season upon us I thought it would be fun to create a new puzzle geocache. I typically name my hides after movies, artists, song, etc that I grew up with. This is no different. Drew Brees and I went to Purdue University together and were even classmates in several courses. We were more acquaintances than friends, but on more than one occasion we had beers together at the local bars. The cache is not at the posted coordinates. In fact, the cache isn't at the coordinates you'll get from solving the puzzle. A community reviewer instructed me to move the final and re-creating the entire puzzle was too much work. Instead, please add 106 to the north coordinate solution and subtract 20 from the west coordinate solution. Edit 8/14/24. The hide location is no longer there, so the cache moved again. Please solve the puzzle then add 0.108 to the N coordinate solution and subtract 0.075 from the W coordinate solution.
The hide itself is probably a difficulty level 1.5 (hide is a 1.0 as of 8/14/24) and should be a quick grab. Please put it back where you found it with the lid pointed down to discourage water from getting inside and ruining the log. Thanks!
Congratulations to @PippiLongstockings for FTF!
With that being said, here you go (images can be viewed larger individually):
Unrelated to the cache itself (compliments of Wikipedia):
Drew Brees is the starting quarterback for the NFL's New Orleans Saints. He played college football for Purdue University and graduated as one of the most decorated players in Purdue and Big Ten Conference history. He is still the Big Ten record-holder in career passing attempts, completions, and passing yards. Since joining the Saints, he has led all NFL quarterbacks in touchdowns, passing yards, and 300-yard games. Brees has passed for over 5,000 yards in a season five times—no other NFL quarterback has done so more than once. He has led the NFL in passing touchdowns four times, and in passing yards a record seven times.
