About this series:
The Sun is the first of an 10 part cache series themed after the
solar system. Initially, we wanted to place the caches to some sort
of scale. We soon came to realize though that either the scale
would be too small and the caches would be on top of each other or
too far apart which would make maintaining them a challenge. We
finally decided to place them in areas of Brown County that were
for the most part, void of cache activity.
All of the hides are physical hides.
Some are mulitple leg caches. If you run across a multple cache
and the micro container contains a log sheet, please feel free to
log it as an extra find upon completing the cache. Lets face it,
some of these hides are challenging enough and would make great
caches in their own right. Why not count it as a find?
We hope you have as much fun finding them as we did hiding them.
Now on to the Sun.
The Sun
The big orange ball of fire that keeps us alive in the universe,
it is about 864,000 miles or 1,390,000 kilometers in diameter. At
the surface, the Sun is a cool 5800 Kelvin. The core is a rather
balmy 15,600,000 Kelvin. In case you did not know, 0 Kelvin is
absolute zero and water melts at 273 Kelvin. 273 Kelvin is equal to
32° Ferenheit or 0° Centigrade. It is the largest object in our
solar system and contains 99.8% of all the mass in the solar
system.

The Sun
Cache
A bit smaller than the real thing, our
version of the Sun is a 4x4x4 clear lock and lock container.
Located at Tower Park it sits in the shadow of another round
object. If you could go to the top, you should be able to look out
and see almost all of the spots that the rest of the caches in this
series reside.
