This Cache
Gymnastics!! 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
The Gymdogs' (the nickname of the UGA gymnastics team) practice facility is officially known as the Suzanne Yoculan Gymnastics Center. But, that name does not appear on the outside of the building. Go to the posted coordinates. You will see the "official" name of the facility under a large "G". What is the official name (3 words)?
Enter the name into the Certitude checker (do NOT use spaces) 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!!
Pro Tip! If you are signed into Certitude, you will see an option on the right-hand side of the page to update the coordinates and note. If you click the "Update Note" button, it will add the corrected coords and codeword information for you automatically!
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 - Gymnastics 🤸♀️
The Georgia Gymdogs is the women's gymnastics team of the University of Georgia. The team is part of NCAA Division I and competes in the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The Gymdogs compete in Stegeman Coliseum in Athens, Georgia.
The Gymdogs lead the nation with 10 NCAA Women's Gymnastics championship titles (including five consecutive wins from 2005–09) and 16 SEC championships.
The women's gymnastics program was started in 1973 with Melinda Airhart as the head coach, and the team competed in the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW). After the 1979–80 season, the team began competing in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) following the dissolution of the AIAW.
