This cache is part of the
"Corporate Ca$he - Monopoly Challenge!", in which information
needs to be obtained from every cache container before being able
to surmise the coordinates for the final stash. Each cache is
located within an area of White Plains that is a cluster of
corporate offices for a wide variety of companies. After being
relocated from upstate New York to one of these offices in June
2010, I realized that although I am surrounded by corporate America
life every weekday, the back woods still burn strong inside of me.
As a result, this series combines the two, and is designed to take
you on a journey that shows the corporate world in a different
light.
Welcome to Marven's Water Works. "Who's Marven?" you ask? That
is the original name of the gardens as mentioned in the board
game's yellow square property Marvin Gardens. The name "Marvin" is
actually a typo from the 1930s that was not publicly acknowledged
until 1995. Although incorrect, the typo continues today, due to
popular familiarity with the spelling. The name "Marven" was
derived from the Gardens in Margate City, NJ due to its borders
between the cities of MARgate and VENtnor. This cache, similar to
the bordering cities, takes you on a multi-stage journey along the
edge of 800 Westchester Avenue and surrounding properties between
Harrison and Rye Brook. Along the way you will see an impressive
view of an extensive waterworks display outside a medical building
which looks like it very well could be a city unto itself. Please
be respectful of your surroundings here.
Note: The "No Trespassing" signs are to prevent people from
swimming and fishing in the water. The pathway is open to the
public.
Remember to note the $$$ you find under the container lid before
you leave, and I hope you enjoy the game.
Congrats on FTF: Team Geofrog
