Geocache Description:


The University of California Santa Cruz is home to some weird and wonderful places! We’ve designed a few caches to take you to some of the more interesting spots. All coordinates correspond to *public* spaces. Please contact the CO if you have any questions or encounter any challenges. 

 

We found a story that said this hidden gem “was established in the late 1960s or early 1970s by the early physics faculty…[and]…might have been motivated in part through the proximity of the Boardwalk and all the rides that you can experience there that are mindboggling explorations of physics. I’m guessing that those rides led to the creation of miniature version.”

GZ tends to move around a bit but you shouldn’t need to run around in circles. Photos are encouraged!
