Geocache Description:



Area History:

UPDATE 3/17/20 Parts of this cache area are under construction and will be for some time. Please answer the questions as best you can. We will know if you were there.

The Doylestown historic County Theater originally opened in 1938. It went strong until the 1970s but then started a gradual decline into obsolescence with the rise of television and other forms of entertainment. In the 1980s things started to look grim for the County Theater and even the letters on the marquee went dim, one by one. In the early 1990s, the County Theater closed. After a series of re-openings and re-closings, the theater was finally purchased in 1997 by a non-profit formed to save it. Extreme renovations to the exterior were started soon after, and in 2000 the marquee was removed, restored, and replaced. Interior renovations went on until 2009 and now sport a retro look with modern inner workings.

Somewhere along the way, stars and planets were embedded in the sidewalk to recognize donors and milestones in the renovation process. This is where your virtual logging requirements come in.

Virtual Logging Requirements:

To log this starry virtual, you'll need to complete several activities and message or email the answers to SPACE2081. Please do not put your answers in your cache log as we will be forced to delete the log.

  1. Count the number of stars inlaid in the sidewalk (this might take a while)
  2. Count the number of greater planets inlaid on the sidewalk
  3. Count the number of lesser planets inlaid on the sidewalk.
  4. Find and report the first and last name of individual who was recognized for their "EXTRAORDINARY SERVICE"
  5. Post a picture in your log of you or your navigational device with the theater ticket window in the background

Thanks, and enjoy your starry walk!


This Series:

This cache is supplemental to the SPACE 2081: A Geocaching Odyssey challenge.

That challenge contains one cache of each difficulty and terrain combination, plus a final cache which can be found only after finding all 81 caches that are part of the series. Each of those 81 caches will contain a code, which you will use as part of the puzzle to solve the FINAL CACHE.

All the members of the space team are actual cachers who are remaining anonymous for the moment. You can find more info on the series, as well as a complete list of released caches HERE. Please do not post hints or spoilers in your logs. Also, each cache must be signed by any individual cachers going for the final.

Good luck, may the force be with you, live long and prosper.
