Geocache Description:


Named after the ivy plants that traditionally cover their buildings, the term Ivy League was first coined informally to refer to these institutions of higher education which compete in both scholastics and sports. Formally, it also refers to the association of these schools in NCAA Division I athletic competition. The Ivy League universities are often simply called the Ivies or, affectionately, the Ancient Eight.

The term "Ivy League" refers strictly to the original eight universities. However, the prestige associated with the Ivy League has given rise to associative terms meant to imply perceived preeminence within other various realms of American higher education: "Jesuit Ivy", "Little Ivies", "Public Ivies", etc. These terms are strictly colloquial and have no relation to the original eight schools.

This cache is in a very nice forest with lots of trails and plenty of Ivy, as you will see. The container is green, with pen, log book, and some swag.

Congratulations to the Douglas Clan for FTF! They wasted no time and found it a blistering 27 min. (in the dark) after it was published. Good work!
