Geocache Description:

On a recent visit to this area, I was surprised that there were no caches around this institution. This virtual cache takes you to a few interesting campus locations. If you solve the clues, you'll have the coordinates of a garden at N 34 04.ACC W 118 26.BCC where you can enjoy viewing some Bright gifts.

At the first stop at N 34 04.213 W 118 26.760 in the shadow of a famous gym, find a sign about the 1984 Summer Olympics, The sign lists the names of the US men's gymnastics team members who won the team Gold Medal.

"B" is the number of students from this school on that team. The second stop is at N 34 04.261 W 118 26.697. Find a small sign off to the right side of "The Bruin". "A" is the number of thousand of athletes that competed in the 1984 Summer Olympics. Since the sign is now missing, an alternative hint on the Bruin sign -

"A" is the last digit of the year the Bruin was a gift from the UCLA Alumni Association. Next, go to N 34 04.338 W 118 26.553 to see a fountain and waterfall with some of the most beautiful buildings and a great view. Find a sign the says "A Journey of a Thousand Miles must Begin with a Single Step".

"CC" is 7 less than the 2 digit year of the class that gifted this fountain. Now if you've solved for A, B, and CC, substitute these values to obtain the coordinates of the Bright gifts at N 34 04.ACC W 118 26.BCC. Enjoy.

Off campus on-street parking may be available to the west side of campus. On campus parking meters are monitored regularly so don't be late. All day lot parking permits are available for $7 from guards at the entry kiosk. Give yourself enough time so you can take your time and browse.

To receive credit for this cache, you must email (messages not accepted) the name and date of the Bright gift between Jack's and Marcia's. Hearsay from anyone else is not accepted.
