Re: Geocaching on Mars - who'll be the first

Being an active cacher on Earth, I wonder who'll be the first to take up the activity on Mars, or at least place the first cache. http://www.geocaching.com]INFO LINK.

Whose speed was far faster than light;
She set out one day
in a relative way
And returned on the previous night.

Re: Geocaching on Mars - who'll be the first

Mars-an's geo-name.

A planet full of points, vistas, ridges, crawling canyons and untouched mesa's... all waiting to be named.

Sure, wide swaths are named, but when you are grounded, the perspective shifts.

What does being on the top of Mount Olympus really mean with a couple numbered coordinates?

Find Ulyses’ point, and watch the sun rise. Add your name beneath the last one etched in the rock... That's geo-caching Martian style.
