Geocache Description:

This mystery cache will require you to see things from different perspectives. Don't go to the posted coordinates, unless you just feel like going for a nice walk.

Perspective can mean many things. Visual perspective can be thought of as the way things appear based on their spatial attributes, their dimensions, and their positions relative to the eye of the viewer. Train tracks disappearing towards the horizon are often used as an example of linear perspective. Aerial perspective is the way an object looks when it is seen through the atmosphere. Video games, movies, and books tell stories from first-person, third-person, and/or other character perspectives. Perspective taking is often employed in conflict resolution. When talking about aged wisdom, people often talk about “having perspective on things.”

I like to think that having perspective means having the ability to see things in different ways, where “see” could be physically seeing something, but might not be, and “things” might be physical things, but might not be.

This cache will test your ability to see things in different ways.

Lots of muggles pass by the final, so please use good stealth. Also, please re-hide so it is well concealed. Bring your own pen.

I've left some nice swag for the FTF, including a virgin set of TB tags, and a nice GeoCaching 10 year pin.

Congrats to Kiwi_Moose and Team_Gaters for the team-effort FTF!
