Geocache Description:

This cache is related to astronomy, which is one of my hobbies.
As we all know, earth is the 'third rock' from the sun. The four inner planets all have rocky cores and the outer four are gas planets.
To solve this cache you will have to know the order of the planets from the sun outward. The planet closest to the sun will be number one and the farthest planet will be number eight. (Pluto is no longer called a planet)
Take the list of the planets and their position number with you when you find this cache. You will use those numbers to get into the cache container.
The cache is located on private property with their approval for the cache. They only request that you look for this one after 9AM and stop before sunset. They were very emphatic about no cachers after sunset!
The local muggles are aware of the cache and seem very interested. Don't let their presence deter you. They may even ask questions about geocaching.
Park near N 42 02.591 W 091 32.886. Walk only on hard surfaces. No bushwhacking is needed.
Enjoy!
Hiflyer and Darlene
