Geocache Description:


This geocache will take you on a tour of the west side of the Edinboro University campus to see the art sculptures. It's up to you (and your imagination) to determine if they are good, bad or ugly.

For the most part, you will be looking for an identification plate somewhere near each sculpture.

I did talk to the campus police.  No middle of the night caching.

The posted coordinates will take you to the sculpture that will give you the answer to "A".  Enjoy the walk and good luck.

PARKING: During this Covid time, hardly anyone is on campus and the police are not issuing tickets so you can park just about anywhere. Do be aware, some sidewalks are wide enough to drive on but are not driveways. Only the police/maintenane drive on them.

When classes resume, the police say the easiest thing to do is to go to their office and request a VISITOR'S PARKING PASS. They are free and you can park most anywhere, but DO NOT PARK IN AN “E” (employee) PARKING LOT. THE STUDENT “POLICE” WILL FIND YOUR CAR AND GIVE YOU A TICKET.

When classes resume, no parking passes are needed after 5:00 Monday – Friday and no passes are needed on the weekends. If you prefer and can find a spot, you could park on Meadville Street.
