Welcome to the 35th parallel!
This desert patch may not seem like much initially, but you are above an imaginary line that circles the globe. This cache is at the same latitude as downtown Kyoto Japan, Saveh Iran, Ksar el-Kebir Morrcoco, and Fayetteville North Carolina.
At this location, during the summer and winter solstice, the sun will be visible for approximately 14 and 31 minutes and 9 hours and 48 minutes, respectively.
South of this point is the start of the earth's subtropical zone.
