Geocache Description:


Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the fifth largest in the solar system. Just slightly larger than nearby Venus, Earth is the biggest of the terrestrial planets. Our home planet is the only planet in our solar system known to harbor living things. The name Earth is at least 1,000 years old. All of the planets, except for Earth, were named after Greek and Roman gods and goddesses. However, the name Earth is an English/German word, which simply means the ground.

Cache is NOT at posted coordinates.

To get the coordinates for the cache you will have to answer questions about Earth below and solve the following

N 43 04.ABC W 076 06.XYZ

Earth's atmosphere is composed primarily of Nitrogen

  • True (ABC=212) Yep!
  • False (ABC=268)

Earth is named for the German word for the ground

  • True (XYZ=892) That's the ticket!
  • False (XYZ=902)

Congratulations to LCSM on this FTF.

on 3/28/23 upped the difficulty because I had to re-hide a little better because the original host was radically altered.
