Geocache Description:

-=THEMED CACHE=- Near Cranbrook in Bloomfield Hills, Elev: 817ft

Engineers, techies, circuit-heads and hobbyists rejoice as this Geocache is dedicated to you! The Geo/GeekCache contains a variety of electrical components and treasures. There are also plenty of non-technical items for ‘normal’ Geocachers to enjoy. I highly encourage you to take/leave items in the cache. I am seeking new treasures, too!

By visiting this cache, you are officially an engineer for the day!

--------------- 6-2-05 UPDATE ----------------

There’s all sorts of new stuff in the cache! I didn’t have a whole lot of time, so I pretty much emptied most of it out and put the following in:

1 of my Disco House mix CD’s (If you like house music, grab it!)
1 80mm brushless fans
assorted colors/lengths/types of wire
1 electric bell
1 mouse
1 thermal sensor assembly
1 anti-static wrist strap
3 bolts with washers & wing nuts
1 “Y” power cable

I forgot to put the pen back in the box, so bring your own or somebody leave one (thanks!).

Also (finally!) put a new logbook in there!

Enjoy!
