Geocache Description:


The constellation Ursa Major. also known as the "Great Bear" is my favorite constellation. Ursa Major contains the prominent grouping of stars known as the Big Dipper. Ursa Major can be seen all of the year from most of the Northern Hemisphere with the Great Bear being highest in the night sky in April. Ursa Major has been an important navigation aid because the end stars of the dipper's ladle are pointers stars to Polaris, also known as the North Star. In philosophical terms, Polaris is the focal point of the Bear's universe as the Great Bear travels around Polaris over a 24 hr period each and every day. The Great Bear guards and protects Polaris from any danger or threats from the outside world. Ursa Major is my scouting Woodbadge and caching Totem.

Instead of just signing the cache log, I ask that you draw your personal Totem with the colored pencils provided or stamp the log with your personal Caching Ink Stamp. An ink pad is provided. Now might be a good time to create your own personal Letterbox Totem for signing letterbox caches

There is no need to cross the gate onto private property.
