All In 2016

2016 NBA Champions... The Cleveland Cavaliers.... Sounds pretty good to this Cleveland native and sports nut! The Cavaliers provided the City and surrounding area it's first major sports championship in 52 years... A long time coming... This cache was placed in honor of the Cleveland Cavaliers Championship...


This is a mystery cache. It should not be too hard to figure out but if you get stuck shoot me an email...

In 2016 the Cavs marched into the playoffs as the best team in the Eastern Conference. They didn't have too much trouble advancing to the Finals against the Western Conference Champs Golden State Warriors who set a regular season record for wins with 73. After falling behind 2 games to 0. The Cavs won a great game at home then lost one at home to go down 3-1 heading back to Golden State. We beat the Warriors and came home for a must win. We prevailed on our court in front of our great fans to even the series up at 3-3. The decisive Game 7 would be held on The Warriors home court, where they only lost twice in the regular season. It was an epic back and forth game that was tied heading into the last few minutes. Some games are decided by plays that become legendary in history, and Game 7 was one of those games. With the score tied at 89 The Warriors broke out on a fast break and looked to take the lead and when Andre Iguodala drove to the basket for a layup... Then out of nowhere LeBron James rose and blocked his shot with 1:51 to play... It will be forever known in Cleveland as "The Block"

Almost a minute later Kyrie Irving dribbled across the key and jab stepped towards the basket, with the 2-time leauge MVP Steph Curry all over him, Irving stepped back and drained a 3 point shot to give the Cavs the lead with :51 to play.

After a LeBron James free throw and some great defense the Cavs were the 2016 NBA Champions!! It was bedlam in Cleveland. The Cavs were the first team in NBA history to win a championship after being down 3 games to 1.

Figure out how to solve the puzzle and you will find the cache which is hidden in the beautiful North Chagrin Reservation. It is located just off the Bridle Path on the eastern side. You may encounter some horses. You will definitely see horse droppings so watch your step. You also may encounter, walkers, runners, bikers and dogs and their humans as you traverse these paths and trails. You may also encounter all kinds of wildlife and hear many birds. I would recommend bug spray. It looks as though the area the cache is hidden at may get mucky after it rains or after a snow melt. You can find it in winter but it may be harder. After you find the cache be sure to recover it the natural camo that is around. Please obey all the rules of the park. Park hours are: 6AM - 11PM. It is hidden in accordance with the rules for placing a Geocache in the The Cleveland Metropark system.
