ABOUT THE SERIES

The Stanford Hill Series is a 12-cache mini-geotour surrounding the Stanford Hill subdivision in Aurora. Stanford Hill was completed in 2003, and is conveniently situated between Antelope Ridge Elementary, Thunder Ridge Middle, and Eaglecrest High Schools. The 1100+ residents are proud of their clean, peaceful, family-friendly neighborhood. Please be discreet and stealthy while geocaching in this area. Please refrain from caching during school arrival and dismissal times, as well as after dark.

 

Feel free to search for these caches in any order you prefer. Park responsibly. One suggested parking spot is at the “Parking” waypoint in cache #1, “Anteloper” (GC7WFBE). The walking distance for the entire series is about 2.5 miles.

 

Finding the final in the series, “Peter Porcupine Was Here” will require information obtained from within each of the caches in the series. This information is in the form of a numeric code, which when put together in order will give you the final cache coordinates.

ABOUT THIS CACHE

“When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder? Why

Wonder, I am green and it'll do fine, it's beautiful!
And I think it's what I want to be.”

-From “Bein’ Green” by Joe Raposo, as sung by Kermit the Frog (Jim Henson)


Well, I can’t sing like Kermit, but I do hum occasionally.

Saw this one hadn't been found in a while, so I thought I would try my luck. Touched it early in my search, without realizing its significance. Then I figured out the difference. Very nicely done. The kind of thing that favorites are made of. Thanks!

Well that was a unique one for me & nice to have shelter from the muggles.

I found it a little north of where I expected to, but the hint led me to the right place. I grabbed the necessary info, now to put it to use.
Today Windatmyback and I went out looking for trouble. By trouble I mean hidden objects with paper in them. We managed to find 7 before darkness fell and we retreated to our abode.
Thanks for the cache!

So this was round 3 for me and SHS #10 (I think I was FTF on the other two) and I didn't need to find this one to find SHS #12. Nice sunny day and this was the closest on my not found list so rode over and took a look. Found it within a minute or two. Nicely done; give it a fav! TFTC!
