Geocache Description:

Geocaching is returning to Space!!! This event will begin at 5:30 pm and go until 7:30ish pm at the posted coordinates. This event is being setup to celebrate the launch of Astronaut Rick Mastracchio (geocacher AstroRM) as he launches to the International Space Station Geocache GC1BE91 on Expedition 38 at 11pm Eastern Time from Russia. He will be taking along Travel Bug TB5JJN1 with him and using it as an educational tool for the school students.

Attend this event and earn a souvenir from Geocaching.com!! The event is being held at Lazy Parrot Backyard. This event location is open to the public although there will be a designated area where we can meet, eat, drink, sign the log, talk about geoaching in space and trade travel bugs. I realize this is a geocaching event mid-week but hope everyone can stop by.

Rick Mastracchio is from Waterbury, Connecticut and graduated from the Waterbury Public School System.
