Geocache Description:

This cache is part of a series around Santa Maria with the purpose of pointing out unique or historical locations around the city.  It is hidden in a courtyard with several plaques and benches commemorating the women of flight.  Bring a pen/pencil to sign the log, a bit of stealth skill if anyone is around, and your geo-senses.  PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH THE CONTAINER SO IT WILL LAST A WHILE!!!



The Santa Maria Museum of Flight was created to enhance local tourism and raise awareness of the flight history of the area.  I thought, what better way to bring extra attention to it than with a geocache.  This museum has many neat single-engine aircraft and a couple other things to see, as well as some interesting historical information and tributes.  I found out an interesting fact; the movie "The Rocketeer" was filmed at the airport behind this museum.  For more historical info, check out this neat museum; but at least come for a cache. 

The cache is not hidden at Ground Zero, which falls in the middle of the courtyard.  To find this Bison, you will have to search the area for Heroines.

Congrats to Dadbo for your hasty FTF, even at 704 yds!
