About The
Series:
"ROAD
TO THE SUPER BOWL"
Welcome to the NFL football
season. What would the NFL season be like without a new football
cache series to find? Throughout the football weeks, bluepant and
mob1971, will be hiding a series of different style NFL team
caches. These caches hope to excite the football fanatics and also
teach the not so football savvy some things about each team. These
caches will provide clues and information to our Super Bowl cache
finale called "Road to the Super Bowl"
PRESEASON
GAMES (Teaser caches, does not include the needed hints for the
series finale cache):
DALLAS
TEXANS and
CANTON
BULLDOGS
Each cache
will contain a trivia question about that team that could be
critical to finding the final cache "Road to the Super Bowl".
Please make sure you take time to read your playbook and keep up
with the questions and answers in preparation for the FINAL exam
(Super Bowl week). Please DO NOT POST
any of the answers or questions in your logs. If you have any
questions regarding the trivia questions, feel free to email
bluepant or mob1971. The FINAL playbook will contain 17 questions
in order to obtain the "Road to the Super Bowl" coordinates
(HINT:
Answers to FINAL playbook will come from 17 of the 32 caches you
found during the season, so I would hate for you to try to skip one
or two of the caches and miss a question). Have fun and enjoy this
series.
