#FlightCache Design Challenge at Museum of Flight

[+MissJenn]

Calling all geocache makers, space enthusiasts, and museum lovers!

 

I call your attention to an upcoming event: #FlightCache Design Challenge at Museum of Flight, GC53WRC. Yes, it'll be a really cool event (on May 16, 2015). Yes, a famous person or two will be in attendance. Yes, your local friends will likely be in attendance as well. Yes, you should go.

 

What I want to point out here is this:

Your Participation is Needed Before April 19

 

There is an invitation open right now for YOU to design a creative aerospace-themed design for the Museum's next hide. They can help build it and make your dream a reality. They'll cover $200 in parts. You get credit for a truly astonishing geocache design.

 

The deadline is April 19. Bring your "A" game. Design a cache that will earn many, many Favorite Points once created.

 

You need not be present at the event to win BUT you do need to submit your ideas. Before April 19.

 

More info.

Thanks MissJenn!

Excited to have LordBritish coming to town!

 

And doubly excited to see what kind of awesomeness comes into this FlightCache challenge. There have got to be a few fabulous airplane and space geeks around here who also like to geocache...

It IS exciting.

 

For those of you who do not know about LordBritish: His real name is Richard Garriott de Cayeux. He is a video game designer (Ultima, etc.), collector and private astronaut.

Oh AND quite a geocacher hider! Check out the Fave Points on his hides.

Maybe design it around MissJenn's Mini Cooper...

[+MissJenn]

LOL

 

I'm not one of the judges, so no need to sway your design in that direction. (although an airborne MINI Cooper would be pretty fun...)

 

[+MtnMutt-ProDuckShins]

WOW!!!

 

You are a great driver!

 

I bow to Master MissJenn! I'm no longer worthy to stand in your Shadow.

As Miss Jenn is traveling, I wanted to share a quick update on the #FlightCache Design Challenge at Museum of Flight, GC53WRC on May 16, 2015. Not only has the Museum of Flight received some stellar submissions (see what I did there?), but Ninkasi ground control space beer (http://www.wired.com/2015/03/ground-control-space-beer/) will be available (as if you needed another reason to attend.)
