URS-03 University of Georgia Traditional Cache

This is number three of the University Run. University Blvd. is a very busy 6-lane road between Semoran Blvd. & UCF. We will highlight different universities along this highway although we recommend not attempting this during rush hour. We looked to find locations near areas you could pull off safely but be very careful entering back onto the highway. Good luck!
