Mystery cache hidden on the beautiful College of Southern Idaho campus.
This one should be very easy to get to -- all of the ground is basically flat.
CSI has a spectacular campus, with the central bell tower, the rose gardens, the fountains, and the grounds. There is no need to damage or destroy anything while searching for this cache.
During the day, CSI will be fairly jammed with students. If you are searching for the cache, please be discreet so that it doesn't vanish. This cache is fairly small, so if you are of a mind to leave an item, make sure that it is small. At the outset, the cache contains only a logbook and pencil -- please sign the log.
For the first finder: a silver coin. Please contact me with the information regarding the find and I will get the coin to you. It is NOT in the cache itself.
Happy Hunting!
HISTORY OF CSI (taken from their web site: www.csi.edu)
The College of Southern Idaho represents a shared vision and a collaborative effort of the citizens of the Magic Valley. This vision began to take form as early as 1952 when a Stanford doctoral student wrote his dissertation, "A Junior College Survey of Twin Falls County, Idaho." Several years later (1960) the Twin Falls Chamber of Commerce established a junior college committee to actively pursue financial support to make this vision a reality.
At the same time, classes were begun in Buhl under a private institution called Southern Idaho College. An inadequate tax base caused the Board of Education to discontinue the effort, although many of the individuals involved later helped develop CSI.
Two years later the Federal Government facilitated the College of Southern Idaho's development by providing federal aid for building academic facilities. In 1963 the Idaho legislature passed the Junior College Act, which provided for the establishment of junior college districts. Twin Falls County voted to form a junior college district in November 1964. The following year Jerome County citizens voted to join the junior college district.
The first academic classes were held in the evening at Twin Falls High School, while vocational classes were held at the Kimberly Road facility. The administrative offices were housed in the old hospital annex building. The College was governed by a Board of Trustees that hired Dr. James L. Taylor as the first President of the College of Southern Idaho. He served as President until his death in November of 1982. Gerald R. Meyerhoeffer, former Vice President, became President in 1983.
The College of Southern Idaho is one of the fastest growing institutions of higher education in the state, having doubled its enrollment in the past eight years. Off-Campus centers at Micron in Boise and in Burley, Gooding, Jerome, and Hailey serve approximately 2500 students each semester. The advent of the telecommunications system in 1989 greatly enhanced the delivery of college-level courses to these areas. The College of Southern Idaho offers a variety of educational opportunities to the people of South Central Idaho. Eighty-five percent of the student body comes from the eight Magic Valley counties the College is charged with serving.
