Opps use these cords until it gets fixed N 41 26.376 W 113 27.557. This is the first cache in a 7 cache series, called "The Old Aunt Mildred Trail" . This series does not have to be done in order but it would enhance the experience if you did so. If you do this in the proper order, it is important that you read and follow each instruction included in this series. This first cache, the Abandoned Missile Silo cache, is an abandoned government project called "The Globe of All Knowledge".  The globe is located inside the missile silo. It was abandoned when it was discovered that only the pure in heart could see into the sphere.  If you are pure in heart, you can look into the globe and receive directions on how to proceed.

The caches are: 

#1 Abandoned Missile Silo

#2 Pump You Up

#3 Hide a Key

#4 Golden Apple

#5 Very Secure Cache

#6 Mildred's Grave

#7 200 pound cache (Mildred's Treasure Chest)

Some history:  Old Aunt Mildred was the world's first geocacher.  She was geocaching in the 1800's, with only a rusty compass and a stick.  On her death-bed her final words were, "BigG59, desert dawg, when I die I want my final resting place to be a cache, but  not some lame micro like DMIT would do, make it awesome."

This puzzle series is the culmination of years of work by the Rocket Science Institute (RSI) to make that final request come true. Ending with the discovery of Old Aunt Mildred's final resting place and Aunt Mildred's treasure chest.

Required items that you need to have with you:  Flashlight, 25 foot tape measure or your trusty GPS. pay attention details are important.

Optional items:  a nerd, metal detector

Advice:  When you get to the puzzle that requires a flashlight, if it is a sunny day you may need an extra bright light, or something to cover the puzzle to darken the peephole.
