My first hidden cache!
The Globe was constructed between 1956 and 1957 and was first
used as a storage tank by the Savannah Gas Company. Its diameter is
60 feet. About two years after its completion, it was re-painted to
resemble the Earth.
At one point, an elaborate mileage sign stood next to it,
providing distance between Savannah and the following international
cities: Amsterdam, Tokyo, Oslo, Bombay, Durban, Manila, Rio,
Athens, Melbourne, London and Toronto.
The structure was re-painted again in 1998 with more realistic
colors which included Hurricane Floyd heading towards Savannah.
However, the storm was erroneously depicted clockwise and therefore
had to be corrected.
The property's mailbox consists of a much smaller sphere, which
is a representation of the Moon.
The globe can be seen briefly in the film Forces Of Nature
starring Sandra Bullock and Ben Affleck.

This is a traditional box o' goodies for those who like a little
something more than a sign-and-go. Due to size and lack of
imagination, this will be very easy to find. It's a better idea to
go looking for it at night.
Thanks to everyone who have really enjoyed this cache and the
location. I had no idea it was going to be this popular!
