The cache is not at the listed coordinates, but that is a good place to start.
Within view of the posted coordinates is a club. Let the name of that club be a category. Combine that category with the title of this cache to inspire a word that ends in "r". Count the number of letters in this word, and add 48. Let this number be A.
Also nearby is a hot dog place. A sign on one side of it says that it's the "home of the 1/2 lb. ____ ". Count the number of letters in that word and add 78. Let this number be B.
The cache is located at the following coordinates:
N 41 57.2A
W 87 39.3B
This cache is hidden in tribute to a childhood activity that first sparked the flame for many treasure hunters such as myself. The final container is placed with permission. Feel free to take or trade for items, but please don't be greedy ;-). Please make sure to secure the cache back the way you found it.
I hope you enjoyed this adventure as much as I enjoyed creating it. If it made you smile, please consider leaving a favorite. Cheers!
