Geocache Description:


Items you will need:

1) GPS

2) Mobile Phone to access http://wilsoncommons-webcam01.its.rochester.edu/#view for the photo.

When you arrive at the University of Rochester using the Elmwood Ave. entrance, proceed straight on Wilson Blvd. and park at one of the meters (parking can be hard to come by during the day, but if you are on campus on the weekend or after 7 p.m., parking is open and no longer ticketed). From there, you will be a short walk to the coordinates above.

The spot you will find is known as the Meridian. You will be able to check the accuracy of your GPS here, and be inspired by Mr. Einstein's most famous formula. When you have found the spot, look toward the NNW to spot a statue of George Eastman. Walk to this statue and the columns behind it. Look down off the balcony to see another statue of (Martin Anderson). Navigate to the Anderson statue. Now use the webcam link above on your phone and select the "Wilson Quad" view and press the play button. Take a screenshot of yourself on the webcam standing by the statue. Upload to geocaching.com as your proof of find! (*if its dark out, point your flashlight toward teh webcam I suppose)

*** YOU DO NOT (AND PLEASE DON'T) HAVE TO ENTER WILSON COMMONS TO GET THE PHOTO ***/p>
