Geocache Description:

The Penn 15 Cache lives again!

This cache has been rebuilt four times and is placed on Penn's Campus at the edge of a park in a nalgene bottle. Its current incarnation is down the street from the stadium and a set of difficult to reach benchmarks! Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to find the cache among the muggles while dodging Drexel and Penn Ivy League Politics!

You will need wits strong as the mental might of Benjamin Franklin and be able to move faster then a leaping dragon in the noonday sun! Leave no stone unturned!

  • Is Drexel Ivy League?
  • Who is Catherine Drexel and what did she do?
  • Why is Penn spelled with two Ns yet there's no writing tools whatsoever in this cache!?
  • What is Penn's famous female fortress? Can you see its heavy fortifications, single front door, and lack of rear entrance that render the interior impregnable?
All these answers and more can be yours for finding the Penn-Drexel Cache.
