This is one of six Geocaches launched at the MGA2015 Picnic Event which was held on September 12, 2015. We decided to create a series that would be "out of this World!" So the theme of the series is the six planets of our solar system that are visible with the naked eye. The caches are placed in the order of the planets away from the sun.
Earth
Earth is the third planet from the Sun and largest of the terrestrial planets. Surprisingly, while it is only the fifth largest planet in terms of size and mass, it is the densest (5,513 kg/m3) of all the planets. Earth is the only planet in the solar system not named after a mythological being. Instead, its name is derived from the Old English word "ertha" and the Anglo-Saxon word "erda" which means ground or soil.
The cache, a small sized lock-n-lock is hidden in the typical fashion right at the ecotone where field transitions to brush/woods. Please be sure to re-hide the cache to keep it from accidentally being found.
