Geocache Description:

Holy Spelunkers, Batman! A geocache has been placed at our secret headquarters on the UCSC campus grounds!


A team of three geocachers set out to find the sought after “Bat Cave” and were successful. If you want a real adventure come with a heavy duty flashlight, gloves and grungy clothes, to explore the cave. CITO is encouraged. We did some at time of placement. There are supposedly rare spiders and psuedoscorpions in this cave, but we saw none. If you see some do not hurt them!
About the Empire Cave Spider
You can read all about the Bat Caves on UC property at Cave History
Have fun but be careful, especially if bringing children. You must descend a tall ladder to enter the cave and the floor and walls are very slippery. No, the cache is not inside. You do not have to enter.
Park on the UCSC campus, West Entrance from Empire Grade. There are nice trails across a big field from Porter College to the cave. Be sure to obey all parking rules, as they will ticket you without hesitation (Just ask Chickasaw!). Parking is easier to find on weekends.

CONGRATULATIONS to geowal701, FTF on Feb. 12, 2005!
