This cache is dedicated to the Astronauts and the machines they flew during manned Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo Missions as they learned to fly, orbit, navigate, communicate, work, eat, sleep, endure long space flight, rendevous, dock, and finally land, walk, drive, and work on the moon.
The final cache is in a 5.56 mm Ammo can graciously provided by Team Coyote1022 from their FREE Ammo Can Cache. The Final Main Cache location will require a 1.6 mile hike with an elevation gain of approx. 750 ft.– most of which is in the last 0.6 mile. BRING WATER. There is some emergency water in the cache...but be sure to bring an ample supply in the summer. The terrain rating is based on light boulder hopping the last few hundred feet to the cache site. I would give the actual trail portion a 3 rating.
It was so much fun to watch the Astronauts work as their spacecraft would zip through space on their missions. In reality we didn't go to the Moon for exploration - we went so that we would not lose the Moon to the Russians.
