Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the published coordinates, but they will show you the way to the park.

Our whole universe was in a hot dense state,
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started, wait.
The Earth began to cool,
The autotrophs began to drool,
We built a wall (we built the pyramids),
Math, science, satellites, GPS unravelling the mysteries,
That all started with the big bang!


With all the snow and cold weather, there must be some geocachers in need of a geofix. Here is a winter friendly cache that will be easy to get to, but you will need some knowledge of a popular TV comedy show

You can find the cache at

39° AB.CDE and 75° VW.XYZ
