Cloud Cache Series - Cirrus Uncinus Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Team_Schnauzer: While attempting to place a new container here yesterday we were confronted by a nearby land owner. He was pretty unhappy with us stopping there and "bothering" the tree that is in the ditch. He told us not to come back there or next time he'd "force us away," whatever that means. Better archive this one.

Geocache Description:

P & G located on the backroads of Story County. BYOP. Please place the container back as you found it when done. Large enough for small trackables and trade items.

This is part of our Cloud Cache Series.

Cirrus uncinus is a type of cirrus cloud. The name cirrus uncinus is derived from Latin, meaning "curly hooks". Also known as mares' tails, these clouds are generally sparse in the sky, and very thin.

The clouds occur at very high altitudes, at a temperature of about minus 40-50 Celsius. They are generally seen when a warm or occluded front is approaching. They are very high in the troposphere and generally mean that precipitation, usually rain, is approaching

Thanks for geocaching in Story County!
