Geocache Description:

Update 12-2021: Due to ongoing muggle issues, we decided to entirely redo the cache. It has been moved into the alley using some urban camouflage. Coordinates are bouncy in the alley so you may have to rely on your geosenses. Check the hint to get you to GZ. This one is trickier than the previous hide so the difficulty has been updated to reflect that.


You can call it “doo-wop” or “googie” or “Sputnik” architecture. It’s a distinctive style of architecture from just before World War II to the 1960s. Think “The Jetsons”. Think the atomic age. Think Las Vegas during its heyday. Wildwood, New Jersey, is probably the best known town for doo-wop architecture in the region, but Ocean City has some of its own. 

This cache brings you to the Eden Roc Motel. It’s our favorite example of doo-wop architecture in Ocean City. 

Drive up and down Baltimore Avenue and see how many more examples you can find.
