18kV Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

pioneer woman: Time to archive this one; after the recent DNF, I walked out to GZ today and there was the "host" but no container. Going to let this one go.....after a 9 year run and 52 finds, time for retirement. Thanks CrossedAnchors for putting this one out. Maybe I'll recycle your "host" item. Happy caching all!

Geocache Description:

Lightning strikes here! Bring a pen!

I have been fascinated by lightning since I was a kid. Here is just a little history and a youtube video showing a slow motion bolt. When you get to the cache you will understand why. Lightning is a massive electrostatic discharge caused by unbalanced electric charges in the atmosphere, and resulting in a strike, from a cloud to itself, a cloud to a cloud or a cloud to ground, and accompanied by the loud sound of thunder. A typical cloud to ground lightning strike jumps a 5 km (3 mi) gap through the air. A typical thunderstorm has three or more strikes per minute at its peak. Lightning is usually produced by cumulonimbus clouds based 5–6 km (3-4 mi) above the ground and that are themselves up to 15 km (9 mi) in height. Lightning also occurs during snow storms (thundersnow), volcanic eruptions, dust storms, forest fires or tornadoes. Hurricanes typically generate some lightning, mainly in the rainbands as much as 160 km (100 mi) from the center. http://youtu.be/W9xzU0xjlhE Be very careful where you park so you don't get a ticket. Recommend you park at the intersection of 25th Street or in front of the big sign on the right side of the road as you approach the cache location.
