This is a very family & kid friendly cache / stage hidden
somewhere on the campus of Amherst College. This cache is a small,
round lock-n-lock container. It should be big enough for geocoins,
small trade items, and small travel bugs. Depending upon where you
park, this cache will allow you to spend some nice time exploring
campus with your family.
PARKING: As with any college campus,
parking at Amherst College is restricted during the week,
Monday-Friday between 8am and 5pm. If you seek this cache during
those times, you have a few options. You could toss a quarter into
the meters located along the Amherst Common (approximately N 42
22.418 W 072 31.134). If you park at the common, I recommend you
purchase at least 45 minutes (about 25 cents) worth of time to walk
to campus, log the cache, and return. If you drive around, there
are also other free options along side streets, but a slightly
longer walk will be involved. Parking anywhere on campus is
generally unrestricted after 5pm on weekdays and on weekends /
holidays - however, always check the nearest lot signs just to make
sure. If you enjoy public transit, you could also ride the PVTA
buses from campus to campus. The PVTA visits all 5 of the campuses
in this series. However, you will need your car for the final
cache.
This cache is not recommended at night. College campuses are notorious for being
"extra sensitive" to people poking around campus at night -
especially people with flashlights. Unless you're prepared to
answer some pointed questions from the campus police, please limit
your searching to daylight hours when you are much less likely to
draw attention to yourself.
