Geocache Description:

Nerds are people, too, you know. Folks like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Stephen Wozniac were nerds (probably still are) and they went on to fame and fortune. There may be hope for the rest of us.


Let's face it--you probably have a bit of the nerd gene in you to enjoy geocaching in the first place. The cache is located off the Neal Smith Trail south of the Saylorville area. If you park at N41° 40.800 W093° 40.023, you will have a round-trip walk of just under one mile.

The cache was started with computer nerd stuff. Anyone who has used a computer should have something lying around the house that would be good for this cache. The original contents of the cache are:
Mouse
Blank CDs
Ribbon cable
A set of rails--a real nerd will know what these are
Zip ties
Owner's manual for a Hayes modem--9600 baud, blazing fast!
Blank diskettes
AOL installation CD--3 bazillion (+/-) hours free!
CAT 5 patch cable
Telephone cord
Ethernet card
Athletic tape for repairing your glasses
A camera for taking your picture
Some of this stuff may even work.

It's a nice, level walk on the bike trail, until you get to the turn-off. Then things could get a little wild, depending on the time of year. In the height of foliage season, the canopy may even cause I/O errors. Be careful of stickers and fallen logs. Enjoy.
