Stanford Hospital Parking Lot Multi-cache

This cache has been archived.

Krypton: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

Interesting technology application in the Stanford Hospital parking lot

The posted coordinates will lead you to the street level above four levels of parking. Try walking into the stairwell or over to the elevators. A security guard told me that this is an experimental safety system to warn people when they are being followed. There are twenty glass panels around the outside which provide associated pictures. You will use fifteen of them to determine the cache location.

Because I'm not a big fan of plain virtual caches (and virtual caches are no longer allowed), use the following clues to determine the final coordinates.

NE, SE, SW

  • basketball = 1
  • bicycle = 1
  • birds = 3
  • cat = 0
  • dog = 3
  • ducks = 0
  • fly = 2
  • frog = 0
  • horse = 7
  • plane = 7
  • saxophone = 6
  • tap dancing = 0
  • tennis = 6
  • train = 2
  • waterfall/lake = 2

The cache may be difficult to reach for some with big hands or paws. You'll need to bring your own pen, as I did not include one when I replaced the cache.

Thanks to super_lmk for pointing out this site to me.
