Wilson A. Bentley “Snowflake Bentley” (1865-1931) Jericho, Vermont.
A self educated farmer, who attracted world attention with his
pioneering work in the area of photomicrography, most notably his
extensive work with snow crystals (commonly known as snowflakes).
By adapting a microscope to a bellows camera, and years of trial
and error, he became the first person to photograph a single snow
crystal in 1885.
He would go on to capture more than 5000 snowflakes during his
lifetime, not finding any two alike.
Another Snowflake
I had planned to place a cache with a snowflake theme back in
the beginning of January, but when Mwien, put one out in the same
area, I had to rethink/eliminate some of the stages. So, here it
is, Another Snowflake cache.
Go to the listed coords (N 44* 30.382, W 72* 59.579) and find a
Blue sign. Find the year this business was established.
Then go to (N 44* 28.177, W 72* 58.381) and find a historic
marker. On the bottom of this green sign is a year. Use this number
to get the coords to the final.
N44* 27.0 (Blue sign year-1907)
W72* 58. (Green sign year-1522)
The Final is hidden next to a Maple and Pine tree that have
grown together.
