This cache has been archived.

MountainHobbit: Even if I could re-hide it, it would be a different hide, so I'm archiving this one to free the area up. It had a good run.

Geocache Description:

Finding a place to park may be the toughest part to claiming this cache.


This quiet corner of the Utah State University campus once boasted an unparalleled view across the valley, a perfect backdrop for outdoor performances on the Hill. Today it may show its age and trees may block the view, but this old amphitheater, built during the Depression under the "New Deal", is still used occasionally for student projects or wedding photos. If you happen upon an event during your hunt for this cache, please have a seat and enjoy the show, or come back another day. It will be difficult to retrieve this cache without being seen by the audience.

Cache is an ammo box, whose original contents were a lot of cool USU stuff. I'll refresh it with more cool USU stuff every once in a while.

The nearest free parking is on 700 East. There is limited parking nearby on campus. During Spring and Fall semester all of these spots fill up fast, so plan ahead. Campus parking is open on weekends.

The cache area is surprisingly secluded, but since it is near a heavily used pedestrian walkway on a university campus, it is still vulnerable to being muggled. Please use stealth and keep this cache alive!
