Credits: This cache was inspired by 'Pearl Street Webcam' located in Boulder, CO. Most of the directions and HTML were stolen from that cache posting. Thanks to Lone Rangers for a great idea.

Warnings/disclaimers:

  • This is a busy intersection. There is no need to stand in the intersection. You only need to get close to the coordinates in order to start looking for the camera.
  • On a few occasions we have observed that the feed for this camera is not always the intersection. Check the feed before you start your hunt.
  • The picture should update every 3 minutes, but sometime the frequency varies.
