Drawn to the Light Multi-cache

This cache has been archived.

ErWenn: So the final stage has gone missing again. It was a good cache and it had a nice long life, but it'd be too much work to replace it yet again, so I guess this is the end of the line. Thanks to everyone who looked for this cache and who had kind words to say about it. Sorry to everyone who didn't get a chance to find it. And to the reviewers who have to check campus caches for proximity problems, here's four less spots to worry about.

Geocache Description:

A 5-stage campus multicache, ~1.3 miles round trip, placed for the 2009 Nighttime GeoAdventures event. Each stage is near a light source of some sort, though this might not be obvious during the day. While it is possible to find this cache during the day, I would recommend against it (especially the last stage).

The coordinates will lead you to the first stage of the cache, a black magnetic key holder. Each stage (except the last) has coordinates for the next stage of the cache.

The inspiration for this cache is drawn partly from HoppyFamily's brilliant campus multicache, Bucket o' Fun, and partly from Mickey4jes' idea for a night caching event on the IU campus.

Each stage of this cache is placed on, in, under, behind, or near a light source of some sort. While the title of the multi-cache is "Drawn to the Light," don't think too much about that; some of the stages just barely qualify. If I could rename the cache to something less suggestive, I probably would.

Everybody at the 2009 Nighttime GeoAdventures event gets 0th-to-find credit for finding it before it was officially published.
