Liquid Nitrogen Plant
That big white wall directly across from you is the liquid nitrogen (LN2) plant. First operational in 2008, the plant was built to eliminate the need to truck or pipe in LN2 from offsite locations. The plant has a production capacity of 430 tons of LN2 per day, storing it in two tanks with a total capacity of 3,800 tons (1,150 million gallons; 4.4 million liters). With the increased LN2 production capacity, the neighboring National Transonic Facility can now fill its LN2 tanks in eight days. Before installing the new plant, it took 13 days refill the tanks from Praxair, a nearby, off-site plant. Having the on-site LN2 plant reduced overall test time and lowered operational costs.
To the left of the plant is the plot that was home to the 16-foot tunnel (the one from stage 3). Since this is the Alien Compass geocoin, you should at least get one good alien story. The anecdote about flying saucers over the 16-foot tunnel and can be read here: http://crgis.ndc.nasa.gov/crgis/images/f/f7/1146FlyingSaucer.pdf (.pdf)
To find stage 10:
Continue back up the sidewalk to the set of poles at N 37° 05.390 W 076° 23.125 to find the next trackable’s code and stage 10. The code is on the conduit on the southeastern pole (the one that doesn’t have the 40 MPH sign). Enter the code here: http://www.geocaching.com/track/
