jholly Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Hea I was just wondering how do you get invited to the lilypad? Only the large contributors get invited. No, just kidding. You can send a note to contact@geocaching.com and say you want to visit. The visits are Friday afternoons a 2pm, unless that has been changed. Bring coins, bugs and swag. There is an awesome cache to find and swap. Jim Quote Link to comment

I understand that the lily pad has recently moved to, yet another, undisclosed location. Edit to add that most of the addresses listed were wrong.

+Chrysalides Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Hmm... hack an iPhone, send it to Groundspeak's mailing address. Eventually it will be carried to HQ. Have the iPhone periodically phone home with its current location. Or, send a GPSr with tracklog turned on (and some supplemental battery system). Figure out how you want it to be returned unopened after reaching HQ. Seems like a couple of interesting ways to get the location of Groundspeak HQ without asking for an invite I also found an address online and Google Street View shows an office with Groundspeak sign in front, but I'm not sure if that is the Lily Pad. Hope to make it there one of these days. Quote Link to comment

jholly Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I don't know, maybe email a recent visitor and ask for the address. I did not have to sign a NDA when I went to visit. Jim Quote Link to comment

Well, if I really wanted to know, I'd just e-mail Groundspeak and ask for permission to visit. I just thought using a GPSr to figure out the location of HQ is somehow more fitting Quote Link to comment

+jhauser42 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 You could also just do a search on yellowpages.com for Groundspeak in Washington. Quote Link to comment

Skippermark Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I thought there was a 200 foot statue of Signal on top of the building, and it emitted a green tracking beacon into the sky, kind of like the Luxor in Las Vegas. When you get close, you just follow the light. Quote Link to comment

+helix149 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 hmmm after reading the cache listing it appears to me that it breaks the rule about commercial caches good thing it is has already been archived wonder if a rouge reviewer from cali did it Quote Link to comment

Not only that, but the cache is archived. Somebody has to get an exception for that. I wonder who would be able to give an exception? Quote Link to comment
+ghettomedic Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Pssssst........I know Quote Link to comment
+DENelson83 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 (edited) Pssssst........I know Rather non-descript place, eh? So does that mean that Groundspeak has completely abandoned its 5th Avenue location, or is it just that Jeremy has moved where he works? Edited November 14, 2009 by DENelson83 Quote Link to comment
