We started this project by scouting West Jordan park for a suitable location to make our star. After taking coords for the center point we went back home and laid out our star using MapSource. The starting point (listed coords) is the north-most point of the star.
After creating the necessary waypoints, we loaded up our GPS and the grandkids and headed for the park. It took two attempts to get a good looking star on the GPS and we had a lot of fun doing it.
Come on out and try it for yourself. Here are the coords we developed to create our star:
Star1 - N40 36.462 W111 56.846
Star2 - N40 36.433 W111 56.858
Star3 - N40 36.450 W111 56.827
Star4 - N40 36.451 W111 56.856
Star5 - N40 36.432 W111 56.835
To create your own star track log, follow the above coords, in order, and when you get to Star5, return to Star1 to finish the star.
Have Fun!

Visit Instructions:
You must visit the given co-ordinates and provide a photo. Beyond that, there are no mandatory additional visit requirements, but you may want to try your hand at reproducing the design in the original Waymark. Go on ... why not? However, you can't log your copy of the original track as a new waymark ... for that you'd need to do it in a new location.
