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!!.

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.
