Enjoy some interesting outdoor art while finding this serpent's lair.

This is on the campus of Stanford University. Parking there is difficult on weekdays until after 4 p.m. After 4, and on weekends, you'll have much less trouble parking -- and it's free! If you must go on a weekday, be prepared to circle a bit, and bring change for the parking machines. We placed this cache here because we wanted you to see the "serpent." If you look around, you can't miss it -- it's huge and quite striking. There are usually a lot of "geomuggles" around, so be careful when you go tramping around to find our cache. The cache is hidden in a Rubbermaid container about 8" in diameter, 6" tall. It is camouflaged pretty well with natural material ... PLEASE make sure you cover it at least this well after you find it, or it will surely be found by non-geocachers and may be lost. :( Inside the cache is a log book, a small pencil and some items that will make sense when you get there.

November 8 by nyulascsongor (380 found) Dropped "Oh The Memories!" (TBZGQC). It fits very well to this cache. We have nice memories from Stanford and the Bill Gates building of the Computer Science Department where a lot of memories and other "first generation" computer (parts) are on display is also very close to this cache.
