Last cache before going to the airport and go back to Montreal. I was very motivated to complete this cache because it was raining pretty hard. 4 planets was the most I could do. I never found the micro at Venus. Thanks. Pictures posted.

Had a very `head scratching time` completing this with Terita but was well worth it in the end. TFTC.

We weren't sure about this one as we were in a hurry but once on site had to give it a go.
Mercury was soon found.Now we know what we are looking for.
Off to Earth and then Mars.
We had to double back for Venus but as we turned the corner, Snake yelled, "there it is"
Pity we didn't get this one first. All would have been explained.
Anyway, may visit the remainder when next in toem.
Thanks for an informative series.

Finally got all the pix together, rounding them up with a trip to Jamaica....Plain...maan. I'd read in a log that you had to go downstairs to find Uranus, and found a sign telling me to get help with that. Turns out you really do need the help.. A man with a key to the auditorium helped me with that. The statue does not depict the rings, but the narrative does explain that they orbit the planet in a vertical plane....how interesting! Unlike the other planets that I could get to, Uranus is a pretty respectable size....even without the rings.

This is my 250th cache. I didn't really plan out which cache would be #250, it just so happened that I was about to finish the puzzle and log it, and it is a good one to mark somewhat of a milestone with, as it made me take a tour of the Boston area. Some of it I did on my bike, some I drove, some my kiddo came with. With that came interesting experiences that I might not have had if not for the geocaching. Thanks!
