Geocache Description:


Welcome to our winter series for 2023-24 in which this year we decided to feature the Detroit Lions seeing that they are doing so good for the first time in a long time.  Be sure to collect all the codes along the way as you will need them to help find the geocache location.  The geocaches are guaranteed to be available through Easter Sunday March 31.  

"Bobby Layne seethed with anger as he emptied his locker. The Lions had just traded him—one of the NFL's greatest players, a quarterback who helped them win three championships—for a prospect and some draft picks. It was just two games into the 1958 season. The Lions were the defending NFL champs. The trade was simply inexplicable. 

Teammates and beat writers milled about as the colorful, quotable and wildly popular Layne packed his belongings into a suitcase for Pittsburgh. As he left the Lions locker room for the last time, Layne delivered a parting shot at his foolish former employers. This team will not win for another 50 years, he said."

Did this really happen? No one knows, but the Lions have not won a championship since. Are you ready to help end the curse?
