Geocache Description:

Seismic Monitor


Hello Again Cachers!! While caching in Florida during GeoWoodstock III, I came across a very unique item. It had a label on it saying "Seismic Monitoring Station". This device sparked my curiosity and prompted me to do a little research. I found a web page that shows worldwide seismic activity (Seismic Monitor).

Low and behold, I found one of these monitoring stations very near to my house. I'm really not sure what this thing actually does, but I just had to let everyone take a peek for themselves. I assume this station is part of the IRIS worldwide monitoring network. You will go to the above set of coordinates as this is the first stop in a three stage multi. When you arrive at this location, you will understand just what you need to do.

Based on the limited information I can find, there are only two (2) of these monitoring stations in North Carolina. I could not believe that one of them is located here in King. If anyone knows the location of the other station in North Carolina, please let me know. Hope you enjoy this cache.
