Celebrate geocaching returning to space with a launch party. American astronaut Rick Mastracchio is going to the International Space Station in November and taking a special travel bug and other hitchhikers with him to use as an educational tool. He gets to be the first official visitor to the ISS geocache!
Geocachers are invited to celebrate the adventure and cheer on Rick with this event drawing starting at 6:00 pm on November 6 at Abbys. A special "Geocaching in Space" souvenir will be earned by all who attend a launch event. If there are no delays, you can watch the launch which is scheduled for 8:08 pm on November 6 (Pacific Time).
Please bring a handmade cache for the drawing, with space in mind.
