How Geocaching Works

Geocache Description:


”Workaround”

A workaround is a bypass of a recognized problem or limitation in a system or a policy. A workaround is typically a temporary fix that implies that a genuine solution to the problem is needed. But workarounds are frequently as creative as true solutions, involving outside the box thinking in their creation.

Typically they are considered brittle in that they will not respond well to further pressure from a system beyond the original design. In implementing a workaround it is important to flag the change so as to later implement a proper solution.

Placing pressure on a workaround may result in later system failures. For example, in computer programming workarounds are often used to address a problem or anti-pattern in a library, such as an incorrect return value. When the library is changed, the workaround may break the overall program functionality, effectively becoming an anti-pattern, since it may expect the older, wrong behaviour from the library.

Workarounds can also be a useful source of ideas for improvement of products or services.

The cache

To log this cache you could simply climb (and fall) over or … you could look for a workaround (literally).

Look for a small green waterproof cylinder. Put the cache back the way you found it (or better if it was not put the right way).

Though it can be really quiet here, there are also moments there are muggles around. So use stealth when needed…

Happy caching!
