Geocache Description:

This is a perfect example of an RTP office park.

It sprawles. It is heavily landscaped. All the buildings are the same color and basically same size and shape. If you make a wrong turn you end up in the never-ending loop of How-do-I-get-out-of-here?!? like some Flex Space Escher painting. And they are building more of it!

They are all over RTP, in white concrete, red brick, buff stucco, surrounded by hollies and boxwoods, splashed with patches of pansies and engulfed in acres of asphault.

But they are, in many ways, the heart of RTP, the little businesses that create the components and parts used on the larger campuses like Cisco, IBM, GSK, and Nortel. They are the little businesses that clean them, fix their air conditiioners, refurbish their restrooms. They are the starter companies that places like IBM and Cisco used to be.

PLEASE do not climb the hill or go anywhere near the electrical tower. It is not necessary and is dangerous.
