Geocache Description:


Ready, FIRE, Aim!

 

The Pine Mountain Observatory supervisor gives me permission to place the cache at this location. Please be quiet at posted times and obey observatory rules.

 

Once upon a time when I was a young boy, I would go camping with my uncles who were much older than I.

They would gang up and tease me all the time. One time we saw a bunch of shooting stars in the clear night sky. What a sight they were. I asked them why they would do that and of coarse jumped on the opportunity for a little fun at my expense.

They proceeded to explain that someone a few miles away was shooting the stars from the sky. And I believed them. After that I always wanted to shoot at the stars and see if I could hit one. My mom spent a fortune on rolled caps for my little gun.

Now it’s fifty years later and I just remembered this experience. My uncles failed to tell me that caps wouldn’t shoot down a star. Now I know. You need a ray gun!

At this cache, Sassy and I give you a chance to shoot for the stars. If you find the cache, quickly look into the heavens and find your shooting star. Thank your lucky stars you have the chance to be hunting this cache.

Let the little arrow on your GPSr guide you. No tools required to find or retrieve the log sheet container. No poking sticks or any objects down the cammo to get the log container out. Just look around and observe what is there. Please reset as intended for the next hunter. BYOP
