Geocache Description:

The 45th Parallel is a Latitude line that marks locations half way between the Equator and the North Pole. As a kid I remember finding it pretty cool that our fair city (Salem) was that place. It didn't take long to learn that Salem is not unique in its half-way-to-Santa claim to fame. 


We share this location with many other great places around the world where maybe children grow up thinking that their city is amazing for the same reason. Some of the members of this elite club include Salmon, Idaho; Yellowstone National Park; the border between Wyoming and Montana; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Massena, New York; Stewiacke, Nova Scotia; Turin (Lombardy), Italy; Crimea, Croatia; Xinjiang, China and Hokkaido, Japan. We all share half of our address with each other! 

This geocache should need very little description. If you have done any geocaching, you have likely come accross this type of hide. It is however, a high muggle location. Please take care that the container and log are replaced at least as well as you found them. 

There is an older, cache accross the street. Although it no longer shows up on the map, it does have a log to sign if you are feeling up for it.

A FTF prize of two free tickets to the Salem Carousel are included. Take the kiddies for a spin and enjoy another great part of our fair city. 

Happy Caching!
