Geocache Description:

The BodBox is a 1.7 quart camo-painted Tupperware-style container placed by the Washburn iTeachers. This is an easy walk with sidewalks most of the way.

The BodBox is located on the campus of beautiful Washburn University. The 160-acre Washburn campus is located in the center of Topeka, the capital of Kansas. The 7,200 students enrolled there are offered more than 200 programs leading to certification, associate, bachelor, master’s and juris doctor degrees through the College of Arts and Sciences and the schools of Applied Studies, Business, Law and Nursing. Washburn University was established in February 1865 as Lincoln College. In 1868, the school was renamed Washburn College, in recognition of a $25,000 donation by Ichabod Washburn, a church deacon and resident of Worcester, Mass. Ichabod Washburn was respected as a man of public spirit and strong moral character, virtues students sought to reflect with the adoption of the Ichabod as the school mascot. For the first 70 years, however, the mascot existed in name only. It wasn't until 1938 that the original design of the studious-looking, tuxedo-clad figure was created by Bradbury Thompson (ba 34) who became a nationally recognized graphic artist.

Today, the thriving Washburn University provides broadly-based liberal arts and professional education by combining the most effective modes of educating: accomplished faculty, small class sizes, state of the art technology, modern learning techniques and unique opportunities available through an interactive campus and community relationship.

The BodBox is a camo-painted Tupperware-style container. Initial items include Washburn pens, highlighter, and other assorted items. There is an Ichabod Koozie as a first-to-find prize!

As with any university, parking can be a problem at times, especially during weekdays in the fall and spring. Weekends and evenings would be the best. Visitor parking can be found in the lot at 17th and College (N 39 02.196 W 95 42.038). If that is full, then there is almost always parking available in the Petro lot at N 39 01.998 W 95 41.856. While this lot needs a parking permit, campus police are very nice and will help you out if you are ticketed (N39 02.134 W95 42.060)
