Geocache Description:

An "unknown" cache on the grounds of SUNY Orange Middletown Campus. Check open hours below. Posted co-ordinates are for parking. You must visit three waypoints on campus for clues to the final cache. PLEASE NOTE: Cache is a wooden box, with a geocache label on top. Please only leave small swag, coins and bugs. Thanks!

PLEASE NOTE (Updated): The College is open to visitors 9am to 6pm Monday to Thursday, and 9am to 5pm on Fridays.

See Academic Calendar for holidays the College is closed: (visit link)

There are three waypoints to visit to pick up clues to the final cache. Fill in the blanks:

Waypoint 1) In the entrance to this building you will see the skeleton of a _______ called _____. (NOTE: Not a Woolly Mammoth!!)

Waypoint 2) The Latin on this post reads: Pax ________.

Waypoint 3) The "colorful" name of this building is ______ Hall.

You should now have four words.

1st word: First and fifth letters.
2nd word: First and fifth letters.
3rd word: First and fifth letters.
4th word: First and fourth letters.

You should now have an anagram of the building that the cache is hidden in: ________ Hall. There is a waypoint for a map of campus if you need help! And it's also uploaded as the first image on this cache.

Enter the ground floor, through the main doors on the side closest to the parking lot. The cache is on a table in the main entrance area. P.S. There is a receptionist in this area during the semester from mid-morning to early afternoon who knows about the cache and can give you (an optional!) tour.

Congratz to Railwayralloon as the FTF!
