Geocache Description:


THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES

You are looking for a camo'd screw top container. Please recover as found or better. No writing device, so bring your own. Parking without a decal is only allowed after 5:30 PM.



I was just on campus last weekend learning all about bugs with my daughters and spotted the perfect place for a cache. Getting the final coordinates is easy, just fill out the word search and everything will become clear.
