Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
The waypoints for this multicache are in public areas along the sidewalks, stairways, and courtyards near the Physics and Astronomy Buildings on the University of Washington campus.
At each of the four waypoints you are looking for a magnetically attached clue with two letters and two numbers written on it. For example, A = 479, B = 382 might be found at WP1. To determine the coordinates for the next waypoint, substitute the numbers for the appropriate letter in the formulas below.
All coordinates are as accurate as I can make them using Google Earth. The four waypoint magnets, though somewhat camouflaged, are IN CLEAR UNOBSTRUCTED VIEW when you in the right place. When standing in front of them there is no need to move anything to reach out and take them. The final is a home made capsule, out of sight.
Be sure to note where and how each was attached, so you can return it exactly as found. That way others will enjoy the same experience that you did.
This campus area is a very public place. Often there are lots of people around. There are offices and classrooms with windows providing a clear view of the area. Therefore, you must use EXTREME stealth when checking coordinates, searching, retrieving and re-hiding, else you will arouse suspicion and may compromise the hides.
S T E A L T H, S T E A L T H, S T E A L T H. THINK AND LOOK CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU REACH. PLEASE, PLEASE RE-HIDE EACH WAYPOINT AND THE FINAL EXACTLY AS FOUND!!!
