Geocache Description:

Easy puzzle with an astronomical theme (The page coordinates are for parking).

Check out this photo of the comet! In 1973 my mother took my brother, sister and me to this viewpoint to observe the much hyped comet Kohoutek. Astonishlingly enough (this being western Washington)it was a clear sky, and back then there was not much light pollution. We did see it, but were rather disapointed in the display. Nevertheless I have always found studying the night sky to be a beautiful experience. I hope you will enjoy hunting our comet cache. Some cool links: interactive comet
