Geocache Description:


Recently, I was asked to teach students at Chico State about Geocaching. The purpose was to familiarize the students with the GPS system and the use of a coordinate system in the outside world. Students were provided with coordinates and a GPS unit, and were sent out to find various caches hidden on campus. Now it's your turn to look for these containers.

There may seem to be a number of them here. This is due, in part, to the fact that we wanted to give students a chance to find multiple hides in a short amount of time without leaving campus. It is also due to the parking around here, which can be far from cooperative. I figured that if you're going to be stuck walking around, I might as well make it worth your while.

For those of you concerned about stealth, there is an easy way to "blend in" on campus. All you need is a backpack. With a backpack on you become "just another student", regardless of age. In fact, I'm willing to bet that zombies could be walking around campus and, if they had backpacks on, no one would notice.

NOTE - 12/11/07:
The original container was Muggled by over-eager landscapers. The new container is a small ice-cream tub with camo, and the new placement is closer to the creek than before. There are no height requirements or need for extraction devices in order to find this cache.
