Geocache Description:

This cache is placed near a building located at Dalhousie University.

This is our first cache! Both Mr. & Mrs. TropicalParadise go to Dalhousie and pass by this building every day. This building used to be the only one at Dal to be open 24 hours. The hours have been cut back now, which may be bad for some students, but good for people who want to look for this cache without needing to be as stealthy.

This cache will require you to be stealthy! This is why the difficulty is at 2. Students can be curious sometimes!

The following are some tips to help you find this cache:

1. You'll notice that you are rather exposed to a large study area... but this line of sight may be blocked (or "blind"ed).

2. It might be better to do this one at night or in the early morning. The area only has two entry points and it is hard to judge when muggles will appear at either end.

3. Luckily it is not too hard to look inconspicuous in this area if you bring some reading material.

4. Still, it won't be easy to actively search for this cache and still remain inconspicuous but hopefully the following hint will help you out: Read between the "lines".

There may be some staff members taking a break nearby, but not usually where the cache is.

There is a small FTF prize with the logbook!
