Welcome
to Planet Earth!
NOTE: CACHE is located at posted
coordinates. This is a puzzle cache only because of the logging
requirements.
This item has been turned from "?"
into a beautiful sculpture by
Greensboro
artists Tony Forrest and Emmett
Williams. Owner Sidney
Gray and his wife, Ricki, own the parking lot as well as the site
of what they've dubbed "Planet Earth."
I don’t use the word “awesome” too
often, but this cache item is truly awesome. It is an object that
should be of special and significant interest to every
geocacher. If this one doesn’t interest
you, you might want to consider some other activity :)
To
claim credit for this cache, you must include the following items
in your online log. Of course, you must also find the cache
container and sign the physical log as well.
1.
You need to attach a picture of you holding your GPS in front of
the CACHE OBJECT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES.
2.
Post the exact coordinates that you get from your GPSr in your log.
Use the "add a waypoint to log" button to post coordinates. (The
owner of “Planet Earth” is trying to get an accurate coordinate
reading so he can permanently integrate them on
“PE.”)
3.
In addition, please post what type of GPS you are using to get
those coordinates.
4.
Post the distance from your home address to "Planet Earth" in your
log.
5.
Lastly, you MUST start your log with something like “Greetings
from, country, state, province, or city. . . ” AND what you think
this item might have been used for in its previous life. Be
creative. No repeats are allowed.
Finding
this cache may well be the highlight of your trip to the area. Of
course, you should offer no hints about the cache, even encrypted,
in your log, or on bulletin boards, or to your friends. .
.
This
cache was placed with full permission of “Planet Earth's” owner.
Please replace the container exactly like you found it and be
careful with it so as the container will not be lost in “Planet
Earth” forever!
Happy
Geocaching,
