Geocache Description:

Hi!  Rich Uncle Pennybags here to introduce you to a series of geocaches celebrating the board game Monopoly!  Your goal will be to play a game of Monopoly geocaching-style, and to collect color groups, hotels, and a special final bonus cache! This cache is not at the posted coordinates. This cache is in the park, and therefore is only available when the park is open (Sunrise to 11pm).


Welcome to the Railroad group, consisting of Reading Railroad, Pennsylvania Railroad, B&O Railraod and the Short Line.  This group is the one of the most often landing upon groups on the board due to their even spacing around the board and the Chance and Community Chest cards that direct players to the railroads.  Contrary to popular opinion, this railroad is actually pronounced REDD-ing (Like the city in northern California) Railroad instead of REED-ing Railroad.

For this cache you will NOT need to collect any information from the Monopoly artifacts in the cache.  Simply sit back and enjoy the ride on the train!  Please do not remove anything from the cache that is specific to the Monopoly game itself - in other words, trading swag is fine but do not remove any Monopoly related articles.  Once you find the information you need, make a note of it - you will need it later!

Oh!  Before I forget!  When you play the Monopoly game there is an added randomizing factor that players must contend with - Chance and Community Chest cards!  These cards throw an element of uncertainty into the game, as the players' movement is not related to the throw of the dice.  What would a Monopoly themed series of caches be without incorporating the cards?  So - in each of the caches you will find a Chance or a Community Chest card that you may - or may not - need to follow.  Make sure you pay attention to these cards!  (But please, no matter what - DON'T TAKE THEM!)


Finally, here's a little piece of Monopoly trivia for you, from the Hasbro Gaming website:

In the book and the movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, McMurphy joins the patients in a game of MONOPOLY. In the movie, the game gets so heated that McMurphy ends up hosing down the other players with cold water.
