Geocache Description:


If you really want some peace and quiet, you must visit this letterbox hybrid cache by the beautiful Sea of Tranquility. This Letterbox hybrid cache is actually in quite famous location. Cache is in the place where "Eagle has landed" by the Sea of Tranquility. The listed coordinates on Earth are totally virtual! Instead use the waypoint Final coordinates! Moon coordinates will be messed up if they are mixed with Earth coordinates.

Prepare yourself for a flight that is about 400 000 km long and will take about 52 hours. Have a lot of money and take AFSA* 1 year astronaut course , that will provide you enough information how to fly and navigate to the moon with your ship. If you don't have money try to be as handsome/beautiful as I am (I'm a model) so you can get there for free with someone who is rich (and not so good looking) and has taken the AFSA Astronaut course.

Note that you will need a proper clothing and helmet too to live under harsh conditions in moons vacuum climate , where temperatures range from +200 to -200 degrees Celsius. Without those equipments you will suffocate, burn or froze to dead.

If you are wondering that will your gps work in the moon. Yes it will. The most important thing is to update you gps with the latest upgrade that supports the Moons GPS system called LAFOIS*. The LAFOIS system became operational 04/01/2014. It is like GPS, Galileo, Glonass or BeiDou, but these satellites are around the moon.

Cache difficulty is five (5) as it can be a bit difficult to get here. Once you get there the terrain is 1. Quite easy to get around as gravity is about 16 % what it is on earth. You can even reach it from the wheelchair if use that. Hint. Just jump around. BYOB! Don't take the Stamp away, it is for those who do letterboxing.

Here are few pics from our vacation...

This was our ship and cabin during our holiday

Here you can see me taking our cache container to cache site, and plaque that is attached to the cache.

Little spoiler image on the way back to earth.

Few years ago I bought a parcel by the Sea of Tranquility. I've started to build my summer cabin there so maintaining is not a problem in future. Meanwhile my friend will take care of this cache she is living already otherside of the moon.
