This geocache features one of the most
popular things I use to entertain any new students I come in
contact with. Everyone and I mean everyone smiles when they
experience it. They usually act very surprised too. I made the
discovery of this phenomenon serendipitously when experimenting
with balloons many moons ago. At the geocache you'll get the
opportunity to feel it for yourself!
The phenomenon occurs because our hands are
one of the most touch sensitive areas on our bodies. According to
this New
York Times article, “The human finger is so sensitive it can
detect a surface bump just one micron high. All our punctuation
point need do, then, is poke above its glassy backdrop by
1/25,000th of an inch — the diameter of a bacterial cell — and our
fastidious fingers can find it.” I don’t use the fingers but
instead use the palms.
When you open this cache you’ll find (1) a
locked match container that has the log in it, (2) a pen that
writes on the Tyvek the log is made of, (3) a few balloons, (4)
some marbles, and (5) a wire that aids in the extraction of what's
in the geocache. Even though I don’t consider the balloons and
marbles to be swag, you can take one or both if you don’t have
either at home. Just make sure to leave at least one of each in the
cache. Please be sure not to break anything when re-stuffing the
cache.

Do not ask for a hint about the
combination of the lock. This cache is rated difficult because you
may have a bit of a time with it. Please do not create a
 log unless you actually sign the
Tyvek!! Simply making an easy find is NOT
enough. |
