Geocache Description:

This easy urban cache is the fourth in a series of caches which will lead finders to view the glories of large public artworks in the "Chicagoland" area. I may not know what I like, but I know Big Art when I see it!


This cache will bring you to one of the large artworks scattered about this community college campus. The coordinates given will take you to a microcache conveniently tucked out of sight.

Unless the weather is particularly pleasant, you won't have to fight off too many muggles to reach the cache.

Note about the name: At one time, campus administrators were concerned that you might damage yourself while searching for the cache. There was a warning sign saying that the administration was not responsible if you fell off the artwork while climbing on it! I thought this made a great title... so it's no surprise that the sign has disappeared. I don't think it was taken as an FTF trophy, nor is the campus administration likely to be monitoring this web site... more likely, the sign is now decorating some student's bedroom.... or worse. But the administration is probably still not responsible.

The cache is the usual attractively-disguised Altoids box. This is a high-traffic area, even if most of the traffic is more worried about getting to class than what you are up to... but you should still apply some stealth to retrieve the cache without revealing its location. This is a microcache with just a log... bring a writing implement, please.

Parking is available, but note that the nearest roadways are marked with "Fire Lane" signs... be sure to park legally to avoid costly difficulties... or come and go quickly.
