Geocache Description:

Celebrate the summer solstice with caching friends in an area rich with caching circuits and Church Micros.

A solstice is an astronomical event that happens twice each year when the Sun reaches its highest position in the sky as seen from the North or South Pole. The word solstice is derived from the Latin sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still).

The Summer Solstice is the "longest day of the year" in the Northern Hemisphere and occurs around the 20th/21st of June each year.
