Geocache Description:


Over many years now, I've noticed the proliferation of QR codes stuck in random public spaces. Do you know what these are? These are real posters or stickers, printed with real ink, but when you scan them, you get taken to a virtual world. You are no longer in the real world; you've transitioned into a fake world.

I noticed the recent appearance of one of these real QR codes right here pointing into the fake world once again. This made me think more about this real-fake dichotomy. The great thing about geocaching is that, even though we get hints from little electronic machines connected into the fake world, the game is played in the real world, with real containers. Okay, well, sometimes these real containers are themselves fake reproductions of real objects.

Anyhow, I thought I'd take this opportunity to place another geocache. Real stuff rocks! So, a real, physical geocache in a real world. A real container placed in a real world. Well, maybe the container is real. Maybe it's fake.

You'll have to go searching. Good luck!
