While it would be excellent to tour the facility, EVERYTHING you need can be obtained from OUTSIDE!!!
This is a Virtual Cache; there is no cache container to find and no log to sign. However, the difficulty level reflects the need for several requirements and you MUST follow ALL 3 of the logging requirements listed below in blue under HOW TO LOG THIS CACHE in order to claim this as a find. Please be sure to carefully read and complete ALL parts to prevent log deletion. NOTE: If you are a group but posting a log individually, please make sure ALL memebers of the group name are on the note or send them individually so your log is not deleted. Thanks!
I wasn't a Geocacher until 2012, so I wasn't around until way after 2005 when Virtual Caches became an endangered Cache that could only be found in the Grandfathered version.
I am honored to be able to place a Virtual Cache. I thought very carefully about what would be special enough to be considered worth the time and placement of a Virtual Cache and would include my love of art -- my caching name after all is Stamp My Art. I wanted it to be something that brought you *some place you have not been*, or *didn't know existed*, or that was *"hey, this is cool!"* .... I knew this was the perfect place to bring the seekers of a Virtual Cache since it fits both the uniqueness factor and the Art that I was seeking to incorporate. Colormydreams and I really enjoy visiting this amazing place! The first time we came was for her birthday.
HOW TO LOG THIS CACHE:
1.This is an art cache, so please take a picture of either your GPS or yourself (or both) in front of your favourite art piece. (This is NOT Optional - the image must include your GPS and/or YOU -- if you don't feel comfortable with your face in the image find a creative way or send a pm. Remember you can have your hand holding your GPS in front of the image if that's more comfortable) A CURRENT Image MUST be included with your log; prior visits do not count here (and neither do cut and paste, Photoshop, PSP, Gimp, or whatever -- I can tell the difference, look at my caching name; I will know).
2. Find the image shown here, and use your GPS to give the COORDINATES where you will find this piece of art . This should be sent via the Contact the CO Message Link by my name or via an email (I prefer the message system) - do NOT post your answer in your log. (Also, please avoid posting spoiler pictures of this specific image.)
**10/11/2017 additional notation for this requirement - THIS is NOT optional - YOU MUST INCLUDE COORDINATES. This is NOT asking for a description of the area, it's not asking for a picture; it clearly states Coordinates, therefore, they must be COORDINATES - this is GEOCACHING (coordinates are used to locate caches, coordinates are used to locate stages, coordinates are REQUIRED! I retain the right to DELETE any logs in non-compliance.) Secondly, there seems to be some confusion about posting this particular image in its entirety - Please do NOT post this specific image unless you CROP it so that ONLY YOU and/or Your GPS shows without giving away the location. This is important to maintaining the validity of the cache. Images must be current and include either you and/or your GPS. Thank you for your understanding.
3. What is the name of this place? (please do not post this information in your log; use the Contact CO link or message CO by my name. I prefer the message system. Thank you!)
»» Paying to enter is NOT necessary to meet the 3 requirements. However, if you do wish to go inside, please see the above related web page link as the hours and admission may change between when the cache is published and your visit. (As of the date of cache publication: it is CLOSED on Tuesdays, but again that may change anytime after publication so use the link above to plan your trip accordingly.) Thank you!
»» Additional note regarding the terrain -- it is a ONE if you are only outside, but if you go inside, it does have multiple levels that are not wheelchair friendly.
»» There is no need to wait for a response in order to log your find. I will follow up if there are any issues with your answers.
