Geocache Description:


This cache is devoted to the force, which is an usual component of our lives, but which we perhaps do not think about every day. This is gravity. Many years ago, stayed overnight on the attic on fresh grass with my friends, viewed over the cosmic wideness of the sky, and thoughed what would happen if the Earth's gravity reduces suddenly ...

... Moon gets more elliptical orbit
... able to jump higher and farther, which involve a large number of world records
... all weight products become cheaper in supermarkets, but not on the markets :)
... the waves become higher on the sea
... it would be easier to stand up in the morning
... there will be a lot of accidents with cars, and then they will drive slower.
... air travel will be cheaper
... all the basketball players are sent to re-training
... thinner people should put tin in the pocket on windy days.

You can add to your own log @ geocaching.com, what can happen if the Earth's gravity increases or decreases. This is not mandatory to find cache.
In order to see the gravity, you must generate horizontal, NOT vertical movement using your two fingers. Think a bit before you act.

Cache contains a logbook and geocaching guide in estonian, in english does not fit in cache.
There are pencil nearby the cache, but it is good when you have one with you also.
When you take the logbook container from the cache, be careful, otherwise you will break the cache.
When you put logbook container back to the cache, be sure that you push it all the way to the cache.
Don't waste space in logbook. And last but not least: be discrete in logs.


A little about buildings nearby. Cache is located in the former USSR Tammuna borderguard campus. When the Soviet borderguard left in 1992. they left the scene in very good condition. Tammuna cordon is the last USSR borderguard campus which was built in Saaremaa in 1986. When Estonia regained its independence, it was decided that with such a large building complex was nothing to do, and Estonian Borderguard decided instead to use the buildings in Sääre. Tammuna borderguard campus consists of the following buildings: plant, barracks, garage, workshop, economic building, dogs house, vegetable storage, pumphouse, shed, warehouse, residential, and the fuil storage. One building in particular seemed somehow familiar to me. Who knows me knows what I'm talking about :).
