Jellowasright: I'm having trouble keeping this one in place. I've always enjoyed the sculpture and the meaning behind it. Thanks to all that found it in the past.

Geocache Description:

DO NOT SEEK THIS CACHE AT NIGHT!!

You are looking for a sign only micro, so BYOP!

I placed this cache to show people a piece of art that has fascinated me for some time now. Upon placing this cache I found out the piece of art is called Toil, which hence the name of this cache. The statue is located in front of Governors Hall, adjacent to Rogers-Stout. Leaning as if braving a blizzard, it appears to be crawling away from Sherrod Library. With a chain dangling loosely, the statue is hauling a stack of gaudy books about 15 feet away. Since the statue is leaning forward, suggesting a "heave-ho" motion, the chain should be tight and receptive to the pull. However, the sense of movement is lost with the chain's flaccid droop. Only three of the books can be identified: references to biology, sociology and art history.

This area can be INSANELY busy at times. If you don't think you can get the cache without getting it muggled, I suggest you come back at a later time. However, do NOT seek this cache at night!! Weekends may be best!
