Alma Mater Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Plan W: Between the poison ivy in the summer and the 18" of leaf mulch in the winter ... I think this little cache has run its course. Apologies to those who could never find it -- I promise it was there, as I picked it up today -- but it wasn't very cooperative, apparently.

Geocache Description:

This is the seventh in the ValentinEs2Mom series of caches placed by the infamous Plan W team. We will be placing caches between Valentine's Day and Mother's Day relating to mothers, motherhood, or dates corresponding to Valentine's Day or Mother's Day.

Alma Mater:  The school or college one attended and, usually, graduated from, as in “During football season I always check to see how my alma mater is doing.” This expression sometimes refers to the institution's official song, as in “I never did learn the words to my college's alma mater.” The term is Latin for "kind mother." [c. 1800]

Even if the University of Richmond isn’t your Alma Mater, use this cache as an excuse to come visit this beautiful campus in Richmond’s near West End.  Swing by just for the cache or plan your trip to coincide with an on-campus event.  There’s always something going on!

The location is about as public as possible “under the bubble,” but do be aware of muggles, particularly those wearing “UR Facilities” uniforms. 

Please take care to do NO DAMAGE TO THE AREA or Plan W will have to remove the cache.  No bushwacking, no digging, breaking, de-leafing or trampling.  If you don’t have a campus parking sticker be very careful where you park; parking is at a premium and parking enforcement is strict.  But this cache won’t take you long, so you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy the serene setting.

In addition there is a clue inside the cache that you will need later on in this series to find the final cache. Good Luck!
