An easy cache on the Planetary Walkway by the
Observatory.
The Jack C. Davis Observatory is a state-of-the-art research
observatory operated by the Western Nevada Community College. The
grounds around it are accessible at all times. On Saturday evenings
the public may come in to look at distant stars, galaxies, and all
things celestial through their various telescopes.
The Planetary Walkway starts at the Observatory (N39 11.163'
W119 47.697') and leads down to the College. The trail is
well-maintained and easily accessible. The path is lined by
monuments dedicated to the Planets of our Solar System.
The cache is a round plastic canister with a black lid. It
originally contained items relating to space, such as an earth
squishy ball, some glow-in-the-dark stars, a plastic moon rock,
etc. Please try to keep with the Space theme if possible.
Please be gentle with the landscape. No bushwacking is needed.
Step around the bushes, not on them.
**Note: They open the observatory after it is well dark, not
right at dusk. And remember, if the sky is clouded over there's
nothing to see! Come on a clear, dark Saturday night and dress
warmly for a great observatory experience.**

Been here several times at night so a day light visit was a good idea. Very nicy walkway. Used this to satisfy my one-a-day cache fix. tnln, sl. TFTC

Out with a "Guide" today, Nevadawolf. Motorbug set up the weekend in Carson City area and Nevadawolf showed off her town. Which she is very proud of and rightfully so we had a great time in a wonderful place. Wish we had more time to enjoy this cache location, it was a very neat area.TFTH
