Geocache Description:


We decided it would be fitting to hide and create a series of planet themed puzzles to help celebrate Groundspeak's Planetary Pursuit. The puzzles will be facts about the planets that shouldn't be too hard to find, with a ideally straightforward and simple finds once solved. Hope you enjoy.
