Warning

Please note: To use the services of geocaching.com, you must agree to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

 ***The cache is not at the posted coordinates***
**High Traffic Area - Use Extreme Stealth**


This is an offset cache.  The posted coordinates will take you to a mailbox painted to look like the R2D2 character from Star Wars.  

To calculate the offset distance in feet, find the street address of the business R2 is in front of. Multiply the street address by the Zip Code where this R2 unit is located, and divide that number by 6992.54. Round up to the next whole number. The bearing is 17º true North.


11/12/07 - UPDATE! I noticed this week that R2 has been painted over/replaced or whatever, but it's back to being a standard mailbox at this point. :(

Final contains a log only, so please bring something to write with.  

Extra credit for posting a picture of yourself with R2D2!



Congratulations to Erbie and Orbie.nl on the FTF!!.

R2D2 on Michigan Avenue

Took this picture around midnight, so it's a little dark. Maybe you can post a better one?

DNF again today. I looked in the morning and then came back with less traffic later. The snow isn't a problem anymore and armed with a good idea of where it was I was sure I'd come up with it. Oh well, next time I'm in Chicago I'll go check it out again. Thanks for the hunt!

There was a panhandler muggle at GZ collecting money. I'll have to try on another visit to Chicago.

Was on vacation from Cleveland, Ohio with my husband Rross1973. We spent the weekend just hanging out and relaxing. This was 1 of 19 we grabbed during the weekend.

Ariana20 & I are in from Cleveland, Ohio. We managed to grab this one early monday morning since there were no muggles around we managed to grab the cache with nobody looking, As we replaced it two homeless men asked us for money and we ignored them but they followed us for one block. One was playing a harmonica and the other sang. We were like what the heck ?? The backed off after they saw a Chicago police office walking the beat. Very interesting experience on this one.
