Geocache Description:

This easy urban cache is the fifth in a series of caches which will lead finders to view the glories of large public artworks in the "Chicagoland" area. I may not know what I like, but I know Big Art when I see it!


This cache will bring you to two large artworks scattered about a suburban downtown, in the heart of BoB Country (otherwise known as Chicago's North Shore). The coordinates given will take you nearby a moderately-sized municipal artwork, where you'll find an attractively concealed little tag. This small, flat tag contains the coordinates of the final microcache, which is located at a second larger artwork. The two artworks share a common color scheme... and the two geocache hides share a common design, too. Note that both coordinates are offset from the artwork slightly to the hiding place... but not far enough for you to miss seeing the Big Art.

When searching the first location, please note that it is not necessary to cross the fence towards the railroad tracks, or enter the commuter parking lots. Stay in the pedestrian area, or you won't find it.

This is a high-traffic area, especially the first location. It is particularly busy during commuting times, but there are people around at all times. Please use stealth to preserve the cache in its hiding place.

The final cache is an attractively-disguised mint tin. This is a microcache with just a log... bring a writing implement, please, as there is no room for one in the cache container. Please be sure to seal the plastic bag protecting the log from water, and return the cache to the same place you found it.

Parking is conveniently available at both locations. The two locations are within handy walking distance, or you can drive between them... You'll find short term parking will be easier at the second location, which also offers a variety of convenient facilities during daytime and evening hours.
