Geocache Description:


The idea for this cache came to me while I was zoned out. I was tired after a long day of caching. It was very late and I should have been home in bed. Instead, I was millions of miles away, just staring off into space. Then it hit me:

12:22.4 +58:05
12:22.9 +15:49
17:56.8 -19:01
18:03.8 -24:23
18:31.6 -19:15
13:12.9 +18:10
12:42.0 +11:39

BYOP. Good luck!
