Geocache Description:

An in-depth exploration of Western Springs. A good application of your GPS unit.

Allow an hour or two for this one, you will get to know Western Springs well!  There are two parts to this puzzle. The first is triangulation to a Waypoint; the second is a bearing at the Woypoint to the final cache.  Keep your eyes peeled!

The co-ordinates given above are just for the general location .  The area to search is bounded by Motions Rd, Gt North Rd, MOTAT, the Stadium, and the Zoo.

This cache is based on The Geometry of Owhango cache.
