Scale Model: Jupiter Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

PartOfTheProblem: Working on getting a replacement cache for this one out, but it'll be at a very different location, so it looks like it merits a new listing. I'll post a note here when that one is enabled. Thanks!

Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE ABOVE COORDINATES

In fact it's a little farther from the posted coordinates than you might expect. If you've been doing the other planets in the series, you probably know exactly how far it is. You can do this one by itself, but if you want to do them all you might want to start out at The Sun


Largest of the planets by volume and by far the largest in mass. If it were a few times larger it could have been a star in its own right.

Several of the largest bodies in the solar systems are Jupiter's four largest moons. The Galilean Moons are named for Galileo Galilei who discovered them in 1610. They might help you find the cache.

Cache is in a city park. It's a bit of a hike from the entrance, but it shouldn't take you too long. There are some fenced off areas nearby that aren't open to the public. No need to go near those. There's a good view of the city from near the cache location.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.
