Geocache Description:

Having met a relative of the Gogerleys in the course of my activities I thought I should commemorate the family’s involvement in this area with a cache. You can park your car at the commemorative signs, and it is best done when heading South.

Whereas Carl Sagan would say it is physically impossible to even write out the googolplex number, with the required number of zeroes, (due to the universe not being big enough), this cache is attainable, but don’t expect to be wearing your leather-soled, or high heel shoes!

For those who aren’t sure what a ‘googol’ is, it is a term coined in 1938 for a VERY LARGE number, being 10 raised to the power of 100 ! So it looks like 10100. It has been estimated that there aren’t even that many particles, electrons, etc in the universe to make up a number that big. And a googolplex is 10googol – beyond imagination, well, for most of us.
