Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates but it is about a tenth of a mile of them.

In 1972, I was driving home late at night and had to pull over at this spot.  I was awestruck by the flaming colors in the sky, having no idea what they were. (This was not too long after Woodstock so you can imagine my confusion!)

It was scary and awe inspiring at the same time. It took about ten minutes for me to figure out that I was looking at the Northern Lights, having never seen them before. It was only then that I could relax and enjoy the grandeur.

Now for the puzzle.
Road sign

That's it.

If you're like me and don't know what you're looking at either, go to the posted coordinates and take note of how what you see there differs from the picture above.

That should get you there. Tweezers recommended.

CONGRATS TO SNO_MAN ON THE FIRST TO FIND!
