If you get out of town a little and find a nice dark spot without any nearby lights, you'll be amazed at how may stars you can see. This cache is located in such a site with full view of the sky. Come well after dark on a moonless night sometime. Spend at least 15 to 20 minutes in total darkness to give your eyes time to dark adapt and improve your night vision. You will see more stars, and even the Milky Way like you have never seen it before. If a car comes by while you're watching the sky, close your eyes and turn away to preserve your night vision.
The Milky Way is the home galaxy of our solar system and the Earth. It contains over 200 billion stars. Nearly all of the stars that we can see across the entire sky are part of our own Milky Way galaxy. During the summer however, we can also see a dense concentration of stars toward the Milky Way core, edge on, as it stretches across the sky in a bright band.
Bring a lawn chair and your binoculars too. If you are surprised at how many stars you can see by just looking up, you'll be amazed at what you can see with binoculars. By the way, if you come during mosquito season, bring repellent.
The cache site is at the George Syas State Wildlife Management Area, next to a parking area. It is very near the parking area, but still it makes sense to exercise caution during hunting season. The original cache container was a large ammo can but that disappeared. The new container is a large bison tube which is inside a much more natural looking outer container.
