Team_Schnauzer: Both be considered at GZ that were decent hiding spots have been wiped out. Going to put this one (and the others along this road) to bed.
Cloud Cache Series - Cirrocumulus

Another quick P & G located on Ames' Wierson Road. This one is located on public property, but the church has private property to the south of the sign. You are looking for a camo'd pill bottle. Contains log sheet and small pencil. Please put it back as you found it when you are done.
The cache is pretty simple and shouldn't take too long. Watch out for muggles on Sunday mornings and Saturday evenings. During the school year, there are also plenty of adults and kids here on Wednesday nights.
NOTE - please attempt this from Lincolnway and NOT from US-30. It is possible to get there from US-30 but it is private property. DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS FROM THE INTERSTATE!! This is dangerous and probably illegal.
This is part of our Cloud Cache Series. This was formerly known as "Cornerstone North Entrance."
Cirrocumulus clouds are one of the three main types of high-altitude clouds, which also includes cirrus clouds and cirrostratus clouds. They usually occur at an altitude of 5 kilometres (16,000 ft) to 12 kilometres (39,000 ft). Like other cumulus clouds, cirrocumulus clouds signify convection. Unlike other cirrus clouds, cirrocumulus include a small amount of liquid water droplets, although these are in a supercooled state. Ice crystals are the predominant component, and typically, the ice crystals cause the supercooled water drops in the cloud to rapidly freeze, transforming the cirrocumulus into cirrostratus. This process can also produce precipitation in the form of a virga consisting of ice or snow. Thus cirrocumulus clouds are usually short-lived.
Properly, the term cirrocumulus refers to each cloud, but is typically also used to refer to an entire patch of cirrocumulus. When used in this way, each cirrocumulus element is referred to as a "cloudlet".
Thank you for geocaching in Story County!
*Congratulations to the Vyp-ster (and brood) on yet another Team_Schnauzer FTF!*
