Geocache Description:

Urban cache on bike path.

This is a series of 9 caches representing the planets to a scale model. The Capitol Rotunda-Dome in Madison, WI, with a diameter of 100 feet, represents the size of the sun. The 9 planets’ orbits are placed in caches according to this scale. Information on each planet, including the real and to-scale diameter, is in each cache container.

Each cache contains a logbook, pencil and pen, and an information sheet about the planet. Each container is a 6” by 3” cylinder. No need to trade items.
