The Slow Motion Campus Tour is a (perhaps never-ending) series of geocaching events at various noteworthy places on the University of Washington Campus. For the milestone tenth event, we'll head to the iconic Drumheller Fountain. If we're lucky, the mountain will be out and the fountain will be on. They set up a ramp for ducklings in the spring, so maybe we'll see a few. Meet near the sundial on the SSE side of the fountain.
The fountain is a direct descendant of Geyser Basin, the centerpiece of the Olmsted plan for the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition of 1909, Seattle's first World's Fair. Not much of the AYP remains, but the fountain and Rainier Vista do. There are various hazing traditions involving new students diving or being dunked into the fountain, hence its nickname of 'Frosh Pond'. The rules involving Hole 7 of the UW disc golf course are also interesting.
As usual, driving to campus isn't recommended. Drumheller is a nice walk from the Husky Stadium or University District Light Rail station, or any number of buses that service the University District.
