Geocache Description:


In the days following the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, five Aggies – current students at the time – led the extraordinary effort that resulted in a massive display of the nation’s colors throughout Texas A&M’s stadium. The initiative sold more than 70,000 red, white and blue T-shirts in less than 10 days, in time for the game against Oklahoma State on Sept. 22, 2001. The effort raised $180,000 (from efforts through game day) for the New York Fire and Police Benevolence relief funds. An additional $55,000 was raised after game day from the sale of shirts and posters.

I was at that game and also at the 20th Anniversary game in 2021!

This is an easy Mystery that you can do at home before coming all the way over here for the final. It might not be easy to find (at times) because it can be surrounded by lots of Muggles. Please be careful and if you are spotted, be sure to tell them all about geocaching. You are looking for a small metal tin - and your know what happens to those when they get left out in the elements! (Hint, hint, nudge,nudge!) The best approach is not from the top. If I were you, I would sit a spell and think about where you would have hidden it yourself!

Please return as found and BYOP.. 

Oh my! I almost forgot - to get the final coordinates, you need to go here to solve the puzzle - literally!
