Geocache Description:


The posted coordinates are for parking and a good starting point for this cache. There is a trail map sign here too to help you determine your route.

This will be a fun puzzle and hike for kids of all ages. The trail is a scale representation of our solar system from the Sun to Pluto. The entire solar system is represented over a 1,019 yard hike with each step representing 3,600,000 Miles. Somewhere out there in space you will find the final container. Here are the coordinates that you need to solve for.
