Geocache Description:

Cape Breton Island Geocachers
Geocaching in Space Event

Once again, Geocaching will make history when Expedition 38 crew member and chief flight engineer, NASA astronaut Rick Mastracchio; travels to the ISS (PIC), bringing with him the 2nd Travel Bug® TB5JJN1 to visit space and the International Space Station. Rick will likely make the first official FTF on the geocache GC1BE91 placed aboard the ISS over 5 years ago. On a additional note, this spacecraft will also be carrying the Olympic flame for the 2014 Winter Olympics into space for the first time. The flame will return to earth 5 days later.
