Maine's solar system

This is cool. Someone at a university in Maine decided to put out a scale model of the solar system. We figured it out when we passed Jupiter on the road. We stopped at Saturn.


And there's Titan.


Yeah, there's a cache there. We passed Uranus and Neptune on the road, then stopped at a visitor's center before getting on the dreaded interstate and found Pluto and Charon.


There was a cache at the visitor center, too. The log was totally soaked, but there was a nice hot picnic table to dry it out on.

More information on the model

I'm glad they left ole pluto in the solar system... I just hated it when they demoted Pluto to a planetary asteroid!
