Jumbo Center Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

swimcd: I put this series together as a baby Jumbo, and I was able to take care of it while I was there. While I am not too far away now, I think it is time to step aside. During covid, I dont think its a bad idea to keep foot traffic around the school down, and by archiving these, I hope a future Jumbo cacher can place some hides of their own. I will be collecting the in-place containers this week.

Thanks to all who made the trip and the finds!

Geocache Description:

Welcome to Tufts University!

This Jumbo cache series, named after our mascot, will take you on a geocaching tour of our awesome campus.

Enjoy!


When I first came to Tufts as a high school senior, I fell in love with the campus. It was exactly what I had been looking for in a university: near a city, but with room to breathe; the right program, everything fit perfectly. The only downside-- incredibly few caches! So with this series, I want to introduce people to the Tufts that I love, and put some new caches out there. So, I hope you come to enjoy the University as much as I do! As this series is placed over a college campus, the muggle factor is high (more so in some places than others), so please be sure to use stealth. Extra kudos given for including pictures with your logs.

Happy Caching!!

Jumbo Center

Every school has a center, a gathering place, or a central social/ study area. For tufts, that location is just across the street ( father away due to muggle factor). Tufts' campus center holds two cafes, a general market, conference rooms, and many tables for students to set up on to study. Attached to the center are the campus bookstore and one of the smaller student dining areas. Liking north at ground zero, you can see the campus center right up the hill, with the patio and tables in front of it. Also at ground zero, on the other side of gz, is the Pearson chemistry building.

When accessing the cache, please exercise TREMENDOUS caution and stealth, as there will be a lot of passersby. Please replace the cache exactly as you found it! Thanks!

Parking for this series is accessible to the non-Tufts public in the Dowling Hall parking garage on Boston Avenue for a fee of eight dollars, or along Boston Avenue free of charge… Anywhere else is at your own risk!

Super special thank you to Tufts Facilities and Linda Snyder to approving the placement for this series of Geocaches!!
