Geocache Description:

Of course there's plenty of things to see and read at the listed coordinates! Go there if you want to. But you will not find the cache there! Learn a little about Flat Stanley, and solve the puzzle to find the hidden cache, and sign the log!


One day Stanley Lambchop and his little brother Arthur receive a gift from their dad. It was a bulletin board to display pictures and posters on the wall over Stanley's bed. That very night the board falls from the wall, and flattens Stanley in his sleep. Luckily, he survives and makes the best of his two-dimensional state. He starts having fun by sliding under doors to enter locked rooms, and being flown as a kite by his little brother. Flat Stanley soon realizes he can now visit friends in far away lands by mailing himself inside an envelope.

Eventually, Flat Stanley leapt out of the pages for some real life adventures with travelers all over the world! Do a little research to learn more about the Flat Stanley phenomenon, and obtain the cache coordinates, by solving the puzzle below.

 

The cache is located here:
