Geocache Description:

The above coordinates are Not Correct

For Father's Day, my two girls and Mrs. HiDude, took me out with some cache containers and we hid some
caches together.

These caches are in kid friendly areas. Several are in or near a park or just off a walking trail in the area.
The series is intended to be one in which you could bring your kids along with you for a day of caching.

We were driving to the next park when the girls asked me, can you make a puzzle for people to solve?
Of course, I can, but let's make the hide easy. So, they did.

You will need to answer the following questions:

1. Who said: "If the new American father feels bewildered and even defeated, let him take comfort from
the fact that whatever he does in any fathering situation has a fifty percent chance of being right."

2. Who said: "When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old
man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven
years."

3. Who said: "To be a successful father . . . there's one absolute rule: when you have a kid, don't look
at it for the first two years."

4. Who said: "I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection."

5. Who said: "Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap on-a-rope."

6. Father's Day was first Celebrated on:

7. Who said: "It is a wise father that knows his own child."

8. Who said: "The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother."

9. Who is said to have begun the tradition of celebrating Father's Day?

10. Who said: "It is much easier to become a father than to be one."

10. _ _ _ _ / _ H _ _ _ _ _

You will then need to convert any letters to numeric values by the following:

Substitution Table
