Geocache Description:

Hidden in an under-rated park just in time for Packer football!!!

Closest parking is at W91 33.269 N44 49.157 but is somewhat limited. Long pants & bug spray are recommended. Can follow a trail for most of the way, but final trek requires some bush-wacking. There is also a stream-crossing involved. There are logs spanning the stream, but may be a problem when water is high.

Final cache is located at W91 33.ABC N44 49.DEF. Answer the following 6 questions to get the corresponding coordinates. I was able to find the answers to the questions on the internet. Good starting point is: www.packers.com

A) The number of letters in the last name of the other NFL head coach who attended the same college as Mike Sherman. (this other coach was fired at the end of the 2002 season and replaced by 'the big tuna')

B) How many more wins did the Packers have during Mike Sherman's first year as head coach than they had the year before?

C) How many games has Sherman-lead Packers lost at Lambeau in the month of December? (As of 9/1/2002)

D) How many overtime games did the Packers win in Coach Sherman's first two seasons as head coach?

E) How many Superbowls has Coach Sherman coached in as either a head coach or assistant coach? (As of 9/1/2002)

F) The final AP ranking of the first collegiate team Mike Sherman was on the staff of divided by the number of years Coach Sherman coached at that school. (example: If the team was ranked 18th at the end of the year and Coach Sherman coached 6 years, the answer is 3. 18/6 = 3).

(NOTE: Answer F is also the final ranking of the same team in the Coach's Poll that year)

Final cache is a rubber-maid type container and is filled with Packer stuff. Good luck & Go Pack!
