We were out geocaching and came to this nice area to find a cache but we found Pluto looking for the library. We couldn't resist taking a picture and posting this waymark. There is a plaque there and it reads:
This tree planted long ago, provided many years of shade and enjoyment. In 2001, after the tree died, Layton City Park Department decided that carving it into a character would provide enjoyment for many years to come. This tree was carved, in placed by Michael Chipman. The entire carving was done with chainsaws.
Type of wood carving: Chainsaw carving
Artist's Name: Michael Chipman
Approximate size/height: The pluto statue is about 8 feet tall.
