The cache is located in Parker Memorial Park which is open to
the general public, however parking is for residents only between
Memorial Day and Labor Day. If you continue down the road there is
limited public parking available. The park is open from sun rise to
sunset and has extended hours in the summer until 10:00 p.m.. You
will be looking for a small lock and lock with only a log sheet and
pencil. Stealth is a major requirement, the park gets lots of use
in the summer. Please replace as found or better.
The cache contains some Space related items for the first
several finders and also some usual cache trinkets. ![](http://www.geocaching.com/images/icons/icon_smile_big.gif)
Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun and is the third
largest in the solar system. It has an equatorial diameter of
51,800 kilometers (32,190 miles) and orbits the Sun once every
84.01 Earth years. It has a mean distance from the Sun of 2.87
billion kilometers (1.78 billion miles). The length of a day on
Uranus is 17 hours 14 minutes. Uranus has at least 22 moons. The
two largest moons, Titania and Oberon, were discovered by William
Herschel in 1787.
Methane in the upper atmosphere absorbs red light, giving Uranus
its blue-green color. Uranus' rings are distinctly different from
those at Jupiter and Saturn. The outermost epsilon ring is composed
mostly of ice boulders several feet across. A very tenuous
distribution of fine dust also seems to be spread throughout the
ring system.
Uranus is 20 times the distance Earth is from the Sun or double
Saturn's distance. We'll drive half an hour in our model to get
there from Saturn.
