A magnetic micro cache placed near the BU Beach. It is located just off of a running path so the terrain is very easy. You must bring your own pen and tweezers would probably be helpful too.
The cache is hidden across Storrow Drive from the Boston University "Beach." It is called the BU Beach because the cars along Storrow Drive sound like waves crashing if you close your eyes. The BU Beach is located behind Marsh Chapel, very near the BU Central T stop along the Green Line.
There is a pedestrian bridge that leads from the BU Beach to the running path along the Charles River. This bridge is made up of stairs, but there is a handicap accessible bridge not far east of this one. The Cache is located just off that path very near the bridge.
Here is a riddle that might help you in locating the cache, although it is not necessary as the coordinates will also lead you to the location.
You are looking for a 4 digit number (ABCD) and must answer the following BU trivia questions in order to figure out the numbers:
Fill in the blank for digit A: Construction on the BU castle was completed in the year 19_5
Fill in the blank for digit B: Boston University was established in 18_9
Fill in the blank for digit C: BU's Nickerson Field, formerly Braves Field, was the location of the longest MLB baseball game in history. The game was between the Boston Braves and the Brooklyn Dodgers and lasted 2_ innings.
Fill in the blank for digit D: The address for Boston University's College of Communication is _40 Commonwealth Avenue
