Geocache Description:

There is nothing hidden at the posted coordinates. This is our monthly puzzle cache for October. Solve the puzzle to determine the coordinates. You will be looking for a magnetic key box that is *not* attached to anything metal. The cache contains a pin for the FTF. Please BYOP and rehide the cache as well or better than you found it. The cache is *not* accessible from Route 13. Stealth could be required at times.

With two high school students at our house we have been thinking a lot lately about college decisions. The process of choosing the path for those 4 years is not an easy one. How do you sort through all the solicitations you receive and make the right choice? It’s certainly not just a popularity contest; there are many factors to consider and debate: public vs. private, in-state vs. out-of-state, large vs. small. It’s a lot of responsibility for an 18-year old.

I was looking through my daughter’s pile of college-related mail the other day, and came across the following notes she had made:

Pepperdine University – College of William & Mary
Rhodes College – Auburn University
Bowdoin College + Dartmouth College
Tulane University
Drake University
Colorado State University
Oberlin College – Arizona State University
Northwestern University – Princeton University
Southern Methodist University – Johns Hopkins University
Yale University
Agnes Scott College – Michigan State University
Furman University


I have no idea where she’ll end up in college, but at least I found a place to hide this month’s geocache. Check your solution for a hide hint.
