This is intended to be a real easy cache. I want the experience to
be because of the location not the hunt. I highly recommend that
you visit this cache on a night with a clear sky if at all
possible. This is not because of muggles but because the view will
be much more spectacular.
I want you to be able to experience what a few of the students get
to experience every year and to visit one of the most historic
locations on campus. I wanted to make this a very family friendly
experience. This is not the original cache container. The old one
wore out so I replaced it with a different kind of container. This
is the note that I put in the original cache:
"Welcome to the Doorknob to the Universe! It's a small tradition
for some upperclassmen here on campus to blindfold participants,
typically freshmen, and take them on a trip around Oxford
ultimately ending up at the cache location. The whole point of
driving them around Oxford blindfolded is to get them lost and
hopefully build their tension. Once they arrive at the Door knob
they ask the participants to stand with their heels against the
concrete slab, cross their arms in front of them, and fall
backwards. Most times they refuse to do this so a gentle push is
good enough to freak them out. Once they realize they have only
fallen back about a foot or so and calm down they are instructed to
remove their blindfold and look up while standing with their back
against the tower. You will not have to be blindfolded, driven
around Oxford, asked to do something you probably wouldn't want to
do however I encourage you to stand with your back against the
tower and look up. It's a pretty cool sight especially at
night."
Please remember to put the cache back exactly as you have found it
so other people can enjoy the cache too. Also please make sure the
cap on the cache is secure to ensure the log stays dry. You must
bring your own pen and you will have to roll the log up tight to
get it back in the tube. The string is to help remove the log so
make sure it's at the top of the tube once the log is replaced so
the next person can get it out.
The coordinates may be a little off on this cache. It's very
difficult to get an accurate reading here due to all the metal. A
lot of people have said the coordinates put them at the fence but
the cache is NOT at the fence. The name of the cache is the biggest
indication of where it's located. I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS
CACHE!!!!!!!!
