Good News, Everyone!
Good news, everyone! We have a special delivery to Omicron Persei 8! Unfortunately, my last crew lost the package when they mysteriously vanished on a delivery mission to a space wasp hive. Fortunately, I found their uniforms in the stomachs of the space wasps when I sent another crew to retrieve the ship, but the package was nowhere to be found.
All you need to do is go back to the space wasp hive and find the Planet Express letterbox. Where is it, you ask? I have the directions here somewhere. Oh, bother, now where did I put those? Ah, yes, here they are:
- Park the spaceship at N 40 16.142 W 75 04.504
- Cross the street to the listed trailhead at N 40 16.153 W 75 04.459
- Follow the trail for about a quarter of a mile to the power line clearing
- Go up the hill for approximately half of a mile until you get to the tower at the top of the hill
- Head left (north east) onto the trail that goes into the woods
- Continue along the northern treeline until the trail goes through the woods near a house to the north east
- Continue downhill along the northern treeline until the treeline starts to curve to the north east
- Enter the woods on the marked trail (you'll have gone about two-thirds of a mile from the power line trail you left in step 5)
- About 30-40 feet in, find the marked trail on the right, then follow it to the north east
- About 0.2 miles down this trail, you will see a strange lower case "n"-shaped root on the left
- Continue another 150-200 feet down the trail, and find the package in a large geopile near a downed tree 5 feet off the trail
Now hop to it and find that package! Don't worry about space wasps, I'm sure most of them are dead now. At least the ones we could find. Which was just the one, but really, it should be fine.

This Series:
This cache is part of the SPACE 2081: A Geocaching Odyssey challenge.
This 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.
