Geocache Description:

A Geocache was placed on the International Space Station on 10/14/08. It was published with special permission from Groundspeak on 2/3/10.

The first Travel Bug was placed into the cache on 10/15/10.

On 11/7/13, Astronaut Rick Mastracchio will be taking another Travel Bug to the cache on the ISS. Launch time from Kazakhstan is scheduled for 4:08 a.m. GMT. That’s 10:08 p.m. on 11/6/13 our time.


Let’s help celebrate this epic event by having our own local event. I will be giving a short informative talk about the International Space Station.

All persons logging an Attended on any Event on 11/6/13 or 11/07/13 will receive a special "Geocaching in Space" souvenir on their Profile Page.

We will meet at 6:00 pm at Furr’s Buffet, 901 W Expressway 83, McAllen, TX.

They have a meeting room where we can get together. It is located on the right hand side of the dining area.

You are not required to purchase a meal to attend the meeting. If you do plan to eat before the meeting, be sure to let them know you are attending the meeting and ask for the group rate. You will pay a little bit less for your meal.
