What color is it tonight? Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Spungebob: Cache is gone, it had a very good run for a large urban cache. I hope it brought a lot of smiles. In the end, it seemed too many muggles ended up finding it, and I think that is what eventually lead to it's demise. They were also depositing some not so family friendly things into the container. Thanks for all the great comments over the years!

Geocache Description:

The best time to go for this cache is on a clear day at dusk, or even better, at night. The view of midtown from here is awesome. The parking lot is open from 6:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m., so make this the last cache of the day on your way home, or come here to relax and watch the sunset behind midtown. It's real easy to find. Just sign the log and find a good spot. (Where the cache is, is actually not the best spot for viewing, but the best spot for the cache.)

The Empire State Building is the heart and soul of New York City. It's colors change according to what's going on in N.Y.C. Come here on a clear night and enjoy the view. When you write your log, see if you can guess why the color is what it is. If you don't know and want to cheat, visit this link: Get your answer here. Good Luck!

FTF gets a Mega Millions ticket. I think that's fitting, because since the Empire State Buildings' inception, many people have come to New York City with only a dollar and a dream!

03/13/08 Update: Please DO NOT park across the steet by Dunkin Donuts. If they see you walk across the street they will TOW YOUR CAR! (See log on that date!)

Parking is on the roof of Stop & Shop.
