Right Outside My Window Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

kotipoby: mpbamberg has been maintaining this cache for the last 5 years, but I think it's time to archive it. I hope everyone enjoyed it, including the scientists occasionally looking out of their windows. A special thanks to Mike for keeping it going so long!

Geocache Description:

An urban nano located in the Harvard Medical School area. Although it is fairly straight-forward, stealth is required.

The posted coordinates will take you to the Harvard Medical School area, where some of the most cutting-edge biomedical research in the world is being done. Take some time to check out “the Quad” located nearby. Please be careful – especially if you are with children – when crossing any streets. Unfortunately, legal or illegal parking will be very difficult, but two Greenline E and several bus stops will drop you off near the coordinates. When placing the cache, I noticed quite a bit of bounce in the signal due to the buildings in the area, so I have to mention that you do NOT need to actually go onto hospital property to retrieve the cache. The hint is a dead giveaway, so use it only if you really need it. During the work week, the place will be swarming with non-geocachers, so please use stealth. This is, in fact, the only reason that I gave it a difficulty rating of 1.5. The logbook is quite small, but I will be able to keep an eye on the cache and change the logbook when necessary since I can see the location from my window. Bring your own pen. Have fun and good luck.

I may be looking at you from this window...
