Geocache Description:


Calling all astronauts, are you ready to embark on a new mission that is sure to be out of this world? Intergalactic caches have been spotted through the Mountaineer region and beyond and we need your help tracking them down in the Cosmic Caching Challenge!  Each cache will contain a special code word on the container or on the log.

On March 2, 2024, at 10:00 A.M. a kickoff event will be held to celebrate the launch of our intergalactic adventure.
- Cachers will then venture out into the universe to find caches and record as many unique code words as possible to find a special bonus cache to be published at the MAC Spring Fling.

This cache is a mystery cache.  DO NOT go to the posted coordinates!

 

The Final Frontier...To Infinity and Beyond....Boldly go where no man has gone before....One small step for Man...To the Moon and back....May the force be with you.

Space  - In reality and in fiction, we are fascinated by it and by it's relationship to time.  Einstein even wrote a famous theory about it....

In order to solve this puzzle cache, you'll have to think about space and time.  Get the point?
