Reviewer Revan: Cache Owner (CO) has not responded, so I am regretfully archiving this cache to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking new cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace this cache sometime in the future (not to exceed 10 days from the date of this entry), just contact me (by e-mail), and assuming it still meets the current Guidelines, I will consider unarchiving this cache.

Please be advised this is not a guarantee that this geocache will be unarchived. Many factors will go into my decision. The most important of which is how you responded to geocachers who tried to communicate with you regarding the problem(s) with this geocache hide and how you communicated with me, the Reviewer Revan.

Geocache Description:

Question: When is a lab not a dog?!?


Answer: When it's art!!!!

FiedoGang drives along this street all the time. Many a time have we wondered: "What are those yellow things?!"

Well, it turns out they are landmarks established as part of Austin's Art in Public Places project. These items appear throughout Austin at sites such as the airport, convention center, libraries, parks, police stations, recreation centers, and streetscapes.

This particular installation is called LAB. Fiedo thought that LAB was short for some kind of dog, but no ...

The yellow is significant because LAB stands for "Lance Armstrong Bikeway".

The best place to park a car is probably a short distance to the north close to the YMCA and softball fields.

This is a really busy corner. Not only cars, but cyclists and joggers too. So please be stealthy.

Sometimes this work of art is even used as exercise equipment. Then it can take a while for the muggles to go away...

Hint for newbies: To replace the log, roll tightly, very tightly, and insert in the lid first.

Congratulations ATXca$hman to the FTF.

By the way, if you read all the hints, the difficulty goes down.

Congratulations to ATXca$hman on a very cold FTF!!
