Edmonton, Alberta's First Webcam Cache!

This live photograph (http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/~lake/cam/index.html) comes from the University of Alberta campus and is updated once every minute. The camera (an O2Cam attached to an SGI O2) is pointed to the south and is located in an office on the 2nd floor of Athabasca Hall. The view looks to the southeast corner of Quad.

To Log The Cache:

NOTE: There is enough information provided in the description and image to help you find the webcam. The posted co-ordinates will get you near by it, but they will not plop you right in front of the lens. You will still have to figure out where the camera is (based on current view).

This cache should be done with a cell phone and a good friend on a computer at the other end of the line. Even if you don't own a cell phone you can still participate. Simply ''phone a friend'' from the nearby Superman change room.

Please visit Rob Lake's website @ http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/~lake/cam/index.html for near realtime updates (in 20 second intervals). When you are CLEARLY spotted in the frame STANDING BETWEEN THE TWO TREES, and as CLOSE TO THE CAMERA AS POSSIBLE holding up your GPS have them Right Click over the image and 'Save Picture As..' to their hard disk. YOU MUST THEN upload this image along with the date and time the photo was taken. In addition to submitting the photo you need to also email RB&R with the phone number and address of the phone booth (found inside) or your entry will be deleted!

If possible, hold up a sign or banner with your geocaching name in front of you, or else hold up a couple of balloons, or something to CLEARLY identify yourself (in your log entry) as a GeoCacher (and not just as a passerby) would help! YOU MUST BE LOOKING DIRECTLY UP TOWARDS THE CAMERA! If you CANNOT bring a sign (or feel silly in doing so) then perhaps lean up against one of the trees with one hand CLEARLY on it, while holding your GPS up in the other.
