Geocache Description:

This is a two-part cache. The first part is a virtual cache where you will get the final coordinates. The second part is a painted plastic container.

Wardriving is the benign act of locating and mapping wireless access points while in motion (driving, walking, etc).

IMPORTANT: To locate this cache you will need a WiFi capable (802.11b) PDA or portable computer and you will need WiFi detection software like NetStumbler for Windows, MacStumbler for OSX, MiniStumbler for PocketPC, or NetChaser for Palm.

The starting coordinates will place you in a general location where you will be able to obtain a fair signal to access a particular wireless router.

To obtain the final coordinates you will need to find the SSID that belongs to the router with the MAC address of 000AE9004C6E. The SSID contains the coordinates in plain text. I do not suggest accessing any of the wireless access points in the area for personal use or bother any of the residents in the area. You do not have to access the WiFi connection to get to the SSID. You will not need to even leave your car to get this. You can even have the WiFi detection software running and just drive down the street and you will get what you need. You will not need to look at your PDA or laptop while driving.

The actual cache is located under a bush and is a short walk from available parking.
