Geocache Description:

Never in my lifetime would I have believed what I saw on a recent early November 2016 evening.


No no no. I'm not talking politics, although that was strange one also. Go back six evenings earlier than that. November 2, 2016, and slightly into the wee morning hours of November 3. The Chicago Cubs completed their game seven extra inning win over the Cleveland Indians by a score of 8-7 to win their first World Series title in 108 years. Everyone will remember where they were at that moment.

So now here is a special mystery cache as we now get ready to embark on the NEXT season. I'm not sure what to expect anymore.

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES.

To determine the coordinates for the final, simply solve the Word Search below by crossing out letters corresponding to the last names of every Chicago Cub on the 25 man roster for that miraculous game seven. (Ignore any spaces or punctuation you may encounter. Include suffixes.) Once you have crossed out the letters, the remaining letters, when read left-to-right and top-down, will provide you with the coordinates you need.
