Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE ABOVE COORDINATES

In fact, this cache is several miles away from the posted coordinates. Farther than you'd expect. Sorry, with Saturn we're getting to the planets that are inconveniently far away. Might want to get your bearings before you start on this one. You don't have to solve any other caches before looking for this one, but if it were me I'd check out The Sun

This cache is one in a series of caches dedicated to building a scale model of our solar system. There is one cache for the sun, and one for each planet, each set at the appropriated distance to make a proper model. If you've been following the series so far, you'll know that this cache is going to be a good bit away from the posted coords.

If you're ready to launch for Saturn, you should follow each of these 4 space probes that have gone to Saturn years before you:
Pioneer 11
Voyager 1
Voyager 2
Cassini-Huygens

The cache can be found at: 45 degrees V2-3, P11-8, P11-4, V1-5, P11-2 by 122 degree P11-2, CH-4, V1-6, V2-2, CH-8.
Once you get close to the cache, you'll be on a paved path. You'll turn off that onto a dirt path when you're less than 15 meters away. If you look close, Titan is waiting for you at the turn. Cache is hidden between a couple trees, and among some cut logs and stumps.
Feel free to ask if you need a hint.
