How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

2-Stage Multicache, located in Morris Park business park in Mint Hill, NC.

"MetLab": Short for Metrology Lab. Metrology is the science of measurement. Measurement is all about decimal precision. The more decimals to the right of the decimal, the more accurately you can measure things.

This cache is for the exchange of all items somewhat related to measurement. Different types of rulers, tape measures, compasses, protractors, levels, thermometers, calipers, etc. Use your imagination!

This is a VERY EASY 2-Stage Multicache. The first stage is a small metal container located at the listed coordinates. The second stage is a short walk away at the coordinates listed in the first stage's container.

The final container is large enough to hold a 12" ruler and is about 4"deep. This is a perfect cache to hold travel bugs in addition to the measurement-related swapping items.

Note : Do not go messing around with the landscaping. The caches are not there. They are not near a tree either.

The best time to avoid muggles is over the weekend and in the evening! Avoid trying to find this over the lunch hour - lots of people around coming and going!

Special thanks to Simoneauxs for the concept for this Cache!

FTF honors to Airhud and Therapaint!

***Due to water problems in the past... Please re-bag inner contents in large ziploc as found, then re-bag cache container. Re-hide the cache WITH TOP DOWN so water will not accumulate in cache. Thanks***
