(MC^2) Monte Sano Cuts Cache Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Rocket Scientist 2: I had disabled this one in January and am unsure how it got back on-line. "IHTFP" helped me contact park officials and went to re-locate the cache for me in March only to find that it has been taken and/or moved. If anyone knows it's where-abouts, please let me know. It is being archived for now.

Geocache Description:

Hidden in Monte Sano Preserve, cache can be reached from the hiker's parking lot. Most of the terrain is rocky but can be mountain biked most of the way, although we pushed the bikes several times. Not recommended for small children/strollers. The trails are a little grown up as this area does not seem to be visited as often as other areas of the park. Take bug spray and ivy block.

Monte Sano Cuts Cache (MC^2) is the first cache to be hidden by Rocket Scientist 1 and Rocket Scientist 2. We tried to establish an acronym (rocket scientists live by acronyms) and decided to use the latter half of Einstein’s mass-energy equation (E = MC^2) for the name (with the “S” from Sano being deleted from the acronym).
MC^2 is a traditional cache that originally contained the following:
Hot wheel (1957 Chevy)
Yo-yo
Tape measure keyring
Rose lapel pin
Ribbon lapel pin
2 bouncy balls
SR-71 blackbird magnet
NASA keyring
Keyring with belt hook
Calculator
Mark McGwire baseball card
Sammy Sosa baseball card
Tom Glavine baseball card
NASA sticker
3 NASA photo cards
2 NASA pressed pennies

We hope you have a great time finding the cache and welcome your comments!
