Space! The final frontier... Yea, yea yea. We have all heard that before. No, you are not going to see Captain Kirk at this event. What you will see is the geocache GC1BE91. Or, more exactly, the “container” that is holding GC1BE91. I am bringing this cache to you or at least getting you to a location where you can see it (fly by that is).
I have been watching this cache (inside the ISS) fly overhead for the past 8 months trying to get the timing down so that I can predict when it will fly over central Florida and Orlando. That is when I am going to get on my ACME Rocket, light the fuse and shoot myself up into space and grab it as it flies by, get inside and sign the log for the cache. Now, I know what you are thinking, “That didn't work out to well for the Coyote.” Well, I have better rockets than the Coyote.
So, if you want to have a little fun and watch the space station fly overhead, come on out and lets see what happens. Of course this is a total crap shoot. If it is cloudy, all we will see is each other. If it is clear, and if I get the date right, you should be able to see it fly overhead for about 5 minutes or more. Too bad we don't get to log the other cache, but at least we get to see our millions of tax dollars at work. I figure I paid for this thing, I may as well get out and watch it fly over every now and then.
The estimated time of arrival of the space station should be about 7:45 to 8:00 PM. We can meet, grab a dessert, talk about all the caches we found and hopefully see the ISS fly over. If I am off on the dates, then at least we get to attend an event. I am expecting to be right on with the fly over. Fingers crossed.
