This cache is one of 14 caches in a series, 13 traditional caches and one puzzle cache. 10 of the caches in the series have numbers under the lids that will be used to find the FINAL cache. The 10 numbers have been randomly distributed within the 13 caches.
The theme for the 2013 BLITZ is Go BIG!
I decided to hide some caches along the Bridal Falls Forest Service Road. This road offers a BIG hike (if you choose to hike it), a BIG view of the Fraser Valley, and now some caches dedicated to one of the biggest things I could think of, our solar system.
You will most likely need a 4x4 vehicle if you plan to drive to the caches in this series.
Makemake, minor-planet designation 136472 Makemake, is a dwarf planet and perhaps the largest Kuiper belt object (KBO) in the classical population, with a diameter that is about 2/3 the size of Pluto. Makemake has no known satellites, which makes it unique among the largest KBOs and means that its mass can only be estimated. Its extremely low average temperature, about −243.2 °C, means its surface is covered with methane, ethane, and possibly nitrogen ices.
Initially known as 2005 FY9 and later given the minor-planet number 136472, it was discovered on March 31, 2005 and announced on July 29, 2005. Makemake was recognized as a dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in July 2008. Its name derives from Makemake in the mythology of the Rapanui people of Easter Island.
