Geocache Description:


This Cache

Tennis!! This is a 2-stage multicache that is available 24/7.  Stage 1 is probably best avoided when there are games being played.  There is ample parking at stage 2.  Please use stealth when making the physical find at stage 2.

To find this cache

Go to the posted coordinates.  Look through the gap and you will see into the arena.  Under the pointed roof, there is a letter "G" and a name underneath.  What is the name (2 words)?  

Enter the name (With no space) into the Certitude checker here and you will receive the coordinates for stage 2 (the final) as well as the clue for GC9PWQJ - 13- Athens Awesome Athletic Multi Adventure BONUS!!

The Series

The Athens Awesome Athletic Multi Adventure series is a group of 12, 2-stage multicaches set up to highlight sports in Athens.  Of course, when we talk about sports in Athens, we are talking about the University of Georgia (UGA)!  The series is the work of poeanne, Pitty Pat, and GeoMonkeyTiger!.  

Each multicache will feature a particular sport at UGA.  The first stage of each multicache will take you someplace important to that sport.  You will need to observe the area to answer the question posed on the cache page.  Enter your answer into Certitude.  Your reward for the correct answer will be the coordinates to the final as well as 1/12th of the code you will need to enter to unlock the coordinates for GC9PWQJ - 13- Athens Awesome Athletic Multi Adventure BONUS!

The finals for this series are a relatively short distance away and fairly close together.  It may make sense to gather the stage 1 requirements for all the caches in the series before heading to the stage 2 locations.

There is some information about each sport on its corresponding cache page. 

The entire series can be completed in a few hours.  Each cache features a virtual stage 1 and a physical find at stage 2.  

 

The Sport - Tennis 🎾

The first tennis courts on campus were located east of the Arch alongside Broad Street at the turn of the century. In the 1930s and 1940s, there were six red clay courts in front of LeConte Hall, where the Journalism-Psychology complex now sits. The Bulldogs moved to their present location between Foley Field and Stegeman Coliseum in the spring of 1958 when six rubico (dirt) courts were constructed. In 1968 for the first time in history, Georgia changed to a hard surface as the courts were converted to Grass-tex. In 1977, the current Henry Feild Stadium was built and the University has been host to numerous national tournaments since.

Georgia now boasts what is widely regarded as the finest on-campus tennis facility in the country, serving as host for 32 NCAA Championships - men's, women's, or both - including 13 in a row from 1977-89. Along with the eight national championships (six outdoor, two indoor), Georgia Tennis owns 41 SEC titles (31 regular season, 10 tournament) and has made 39 NCAA Tournament appearances
