Geocache Description:

Final cache of the Series. It is a little known fact that there are 13 signs of the Zodiac. Between November 30th and December 17th, the sun passes through the constellation of Ophiucus making this the thirteenth sign.

The twelve signs of the zodiac each have an element associated with them. The four elements are Earth, Air, Fire and Water.

The Elements

Fire signs are Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. The co-ordinates for Sagittarius will be found in the Aries and Leo caches.

 

 

Water signs are Scorpio, Cancer and Pisces. The co-ordinates for Pisces will be found in the Scorpio and Cancer caches.

 

 

Air Signs are Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. The co-ordinates for Gemini will be found in the Aquarius and Libra caches.

 

 

Earth signs are Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. The co-ordinates for Virgo will be found in the Taurus and Capricorn caches.

 

 

 

Co-ordinates for the bonus " ZODIAC CACHE" will be found in the Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, and Virgo caches. A diagram illustrating the series can be found here.

By now you have all the co-ordinates and can locate the bonus Zodiac Cache. Off road parking is nearby and should be easy to spot. The co-ordinates given are totally bogus.

Contents of the cache include the logbook, pens, pencil and sharpener (Please do not remove), FTF trophy, 2005 date book, and lots of bits and bobs that there wasn't room for in the other caches. From this site you can see for miles and if you get here on a clear night, you can view the stars for hours.

When you sign the log could you also say what sign you are. Just curious to see what sign has the most finds.
