Geocache Description:


*CACHE IS NOT AT POSTED COORDINATES*

A--------------- O--------------------- Everybody do the Cardinal Rumble.  This is the signature cheer of the cheerleaders going back over 25 years. At a football game, you'll see and hear the team on the field, LHS Cheerleaders, the pep band Red Scare and their Color Guard.

While the coordinates for this puzzle mark the Lawrence High School field, home of the Cardinals. The cache is walking distance away from the school and board of education. It is ideal not to do this during the beginning or the end of a school day. 

Feel free to surf the web to solve for the coordinates and sign the P&G, perhaps even during the game season.
