Jumbo Town Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

swimcd: I put this series together as a baby Jumbo, and I was able to take care of it while I was there. While I am not too far away now, I think it is time to step aside. During covid, I dont think its a bad idea to keep foot traffic around the school down, and by archiving these, I hope a future Jumbo cacher can place some hides of their own. I will be collecting the in-place containers this week.

Thanks to all who made the trip and the finds!

Geocache Description:

Welcome to Tufts University!

This Jumbo cache series, named after our mascot, will take you on a teaching me tour of our awesome campus.

Enjoy!


When I first came to Tufts as a high school senior, I fell in love with the campus. It was exactly what I had been looking for in a university: near a city, but with room to breathe; the right program, everything fit perfectly. The only downside-- incredibly few caches! So with this series, I want to introduce people to the Tufts that I love, and put some new caches out there. So, I hope you come to enjoy the University as much as I do! As this series is placed over a college campus, the muggle factor is high (more so in some places than others), so please be sure to use stealth. Extra kudos given for including pictures with your logs.

Happy Caching!!

Jumbo Clubs

Tufts University is located about a ten minutes' walk away from Davis Square, which also is the main off-campus social hub for many Tufts students. While there is a shuttle, the "Joey", that runs from campus center to D-Square every half-hour or so, many people walk to and from the square-- and its quite a nice walk through a few quiet residential streets. Davis is also the location of the nearest T stop to campus, giving the square its secondary role as the portal to the city for students.

This cache is situated right across from the main road used as the pathway between Tufts and Davis-- Leonard street, which crosses Broadway and turns into Wallace street. Cache is a black nano (hehehe)… Good luck!

Parking for this series is accessible to the non-Tufts public in the Dowling Hall parking garage on Boston Avenue for a fee of eight dollars, or along Boston Avenue free of charge… Anywhere else is at your own risk!

Super special thank you to Tufts Facilities and Linda Snyder to approving the placement for this series of Geocaches!!
