Geocache Description:


We are dedicating this cache to Albert Einstein, who's birthday is in a few days (March 14). Einstein is probably the best known mathematician/scientist. Mostly he is known for his work with splitting an atom and his Theory of Relativity. Most people have seen E=mc² but have no idea that this formula shows the relationship between the mass and energy of an object. What is really cool about Einstein's birthday is that it is on Pi Day (named PiDay because the date is 3-14 and the mathematical approximation of Pi is 3.14). As a math teacher, my students and I have celebrated this day many times!

The idea for the cache container came from something we saw online. There is enough room for a log, pen, and a few small trade items. There is also a nano cache container as a prize for the FTF!

The cache is on private property, but we have permission from the land owner. If you end up near a concrete driveway or a mailbox, you might want to invest in a new GPSr (or let us know the coords. are WAY off)!

It is in a residential area, but the neighbors across the street are aware of it. However, please try to use stealth when retrieving and replacing the cache if the young muggles who really like to play in the area are around. :-)

We hope you enjoy this one as much as we do!

Congrats to BigLeeFam for a quick FTF!
