This is one of a series of caches honoring astronauts. These are/were people who accomplished great things in the exploration of space. The world is a better place because of these pioneers.

Sally Kristen Ride (May 26, 1951 – July 23, 2012) was an American physicist and astronaut. Born in Los Angeles, she joined NASA in 1978 and became the first American woman in space in 1983. Ride was the third woman in space overall, after USSR cosmonauts Valentina Tereshkova (1963) and Svetlana Savitskaya (1982). Ride remains the youngest American astronaut to have traveled to space, having done so at the age of 32. After flying twice on the Orbiter Challenger, she left NASA in 1987. She served on the committees that investigated the Challenger and Columbia space shuttle disasters, the only person to participate in both. Ride died of pancreatic cancer on July 23, 2012. - Wikipedia

Out grabbing some caches with blackfire5th. This is a very tricky hide. Finally got just the right angle and spotted it. Thanks for the clever hide!

Clever, clever placement! I wanted to get outside and enjoy some sunshine before the predicted blizzard. This hide was a perfect spot to do just that. I'm glad there are still dirt walking trails to be found in town. Thanks for the hide!

Found it in the rain. Was pretty determined to find it today. I also found my tweezers that I dropped first time I was here. TFTC

Found while out caching with Team Tiger Pride on this beautiful Memorial Day morning. This is a nice little trail, with a very tricky hide at the end. Definitely bring your tools of the trade. Also, I love the fact that this cache is honoring such a groundbreaking individual! Thanks for the cache!
