Current Goal

As part of 1 millionth scale model of the solar system we want the Venus Orbit Travel Bug to move from geocache to geocache at distances between 66.8 and 67.7 miles from the Hub of the Solar System at 42 degrees 21.4945 minutes north, 71 degrees 3.8101 minutes west.
Towns that might have appropriate geocaches include Marthas Vineyard MA, Concord NH, Wells ME, Storrs CT and Palmer MA.

About This Item

Orbit of Venus

If Boston is the Hub of the Solar System, then where are the planets? We are releasing a set of nine planetary travel bugs with the intention of developing, with your help, our own scale model of the solar system. The goal is to have nine travel bugs moving from cache to cache at specified distances from what Oliver Wendall Holmes called "the hub of the solar system", together forming a 1:1,000,000 scale model of the actual solar system. Please visit http://mysite.verizon.net/wconey/hub/hub.htm for more details on the "Hub of the Solar System" project.

Family became very sick and never got to Palmer, MA. Geocaching stopped for now. Floods ruined a couple of area caches. Finally had to drop off at GCGK8T.
