Testudos Hideout
Placed 7 febrero 2003 by the Mobots
College Park
Prince George's County.

This begins at the Testudo Memorial statue (in front
of McKeldin Library) on Campus. Because he was
embarassed at last year's basketball riots, Testudo
(the Terrapins' mascot) decided to hide during this
year's basketball season. He turned left and and
walked 54 turtle paces. He then turned left again.
It was hard, but he made it up the 2 flights of
stairs. He saw a picnic table on his right, but this
was no time to rest!!! At the 3 way fork he took
the middle route. He saw a black box on the left and
decided to hide there, but when he saw that it was
surrounded by 13 trees (unlucky) he kept movin
straight across the street. He stopped to rest but
then saw a sign saying that he could be fined for even
stopping! He went straight over the brick path. He
turned right and saw his friend Benjamin. Benajmin
said he knew of some hiding places just ahead. At the
end of the bricks, Testudo turned right. He stopped
at the intersection; in front of him were two more big
boxes great for hiding, but just to his left were 5
scary guys standing on top of each other. He turned
left again, and eventually he saw a pretty white tree
on the left surrounded by a pretty green fence, but
there was not enough to hide behind so he kept moving.


When he arrived at the edge of the parking lot, he saw
his friend JJ. JJ said that just behind him in the
distance there was a white and green tower. Surely
there would be some hiding places near there. Testudo
carefully walked through the parking lot keeping his
eye on the tower. WHen he reached the end of the
parking lot he saw a small creek and a footbridge.
Just as he crossed the footbridge, he saw 2 giant
fish. They told him to follow the black path until it
turned light brown. From there he should turn right
and he would be able to see 2 hiding places. He did.
They were both a little bit off in the distance. They
were both silver; one was boxy and boring, the other
was curly, elaborate and very modern looking. He
couldn't believe he found such a place on Campus. It
was a place fit for the President. He nestled in on
lower right corner of the North side.

Please be discrete. This is a very public place.
Maybe, take the box back to the picnic tables nearby.
Have fun; if you find Testudo's hideout (or find that
it's missing) drop us an e-mail at themobots@yahoo.com
