Geocache Description:

This cache is dedicated to the men and women of the 15OWS at nearby Scott AFB.

The above co-ordinates will not get you to the cache, but to the parking area for this and another nearby cache. When I found that cache, I promised to add another cache to this beautiful area. Well, here it is... A Meteorologist would find this one easy. For the rest of you, ask Jeeves (or uncle Google).

N 38 28.ABC W 089 52.DEF

'A' is the number on the Beaufort wind scale for 20KT wind, small trees in leaf start to sway.

'BC' is the magnetic declination for this area to the nearest 5 (00, 05, 10, 15 etc.)

2.92 Inches HG converts to 'DE' millibars (round if necessary to nearest whole (millibar)

If I were a hurricane with 125mph winds, I would be a category ‘F’ hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale

Checksum: A+B+C+D+E+F=26

Please put the contents of the cache back in the bags, as these contatiners (cammo'd plastic Folgers can) tend to leak after a while.
