Big F**ing Rock

Now....before you start thinking that this geocaching blog is going to go to the gutters with dirty words....don't worry....it's not what you think!!

Last year...we had a fun little get-away to Ohio to do some Geocaching. For the most part...we tried to find regular size ones...as Mom was with us...and that is what she enjoys doing. But there was one cache...that I just had to do for myself. (And I think everyone liked it) It was called "Big F**ing Rock" (GC1190X).

This is all the blog listing said:

"It is not what you are probably thinking. You will see when you get there.

Although I did not use this for my weird places in Dayton multi, I thought this place was weird and interesting enough to deserve it's own cache. Let me know what you think."

Well....it intrigued me!!! And this is what we found when we got there.....

It is a BIG....FLYING.....ROCK!!! The cache was actually a magnetic key holder...and didnt take long to find....but this was just SO COOL!!!! Thought I would share it with you...should you ever get the chance to do some caching in Dayton Ohio!!!

Caching at the Indianapolis Art Center

Broad Ripple Village is one of six designated cultural districts in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. Located about seven miles north of Downtown Indianapolis, Broad Ripple contains many of Indianapolis' premier up scale restaurants, art galleries, and the Monon Trail. Originally an independent municipality, Broad Ripple was annexed by Indianapolis in 1922. It currently hosts an active social scene, fueled by the near presence of Butler University. A large number of private art galleries, bars, and independently owned restaurants line the Village's streets.

One of the coolest places in Broad Ripple is the Indianapolis Art Center. The Indianapolis Art Center is one of the premier community art centers in the Midwest. It consists of the Marilyn K. Glick School of Art, a 40,000 square foot facility, designed by world-renowned architect Michael Graves, the Cultural Complex, and ARTSPARK. Integrated with the natural beauty of its site, the Indianapolis Art Center's twelve-acre campus is bordered by the White River. The School of Art houses 13 state-of-the-art Studios, a 224-seat auditorium, a library with a two-story atrium, a Studio Shop and gracious porticos. Also included on the campus is a riverfront deck and stage and sculpture gardens. The Cultural Complex houses the Fiber Studio and individual artist Studios for working artists.

And of course...there are a couple of caches on the property. The first one we found was called "Garden Pool Cube". As you can see from the pictures below...its not too hard to figure out why it was called that. It was a pretty easy find...even though it was a micro....and not actually on the Cube!!

This picture is just me....getting ahead in life!!!!

Now the last cache that we tried to find this night was called "A Quiet Place" and although it was a quiet place...we made a lot of noise about the fact that it had been muggled. If we (ok..me) had read the previous logs...we would have not spent a good hour trying to find it....but if we also read the logs...we might not have stumbled across this AWESOME piece of art. It is called "Twisted House".

We had a great night that night. Found 5 out of 6 caches for the evening. I may be posting a few more pics from the Broad Ripple area soon!!!! There are still about 25 caches in the area and along the Monon trail that we havent found yet.
