Geocache Description:


Foucault Pendulum

The cache is certainly NOT at the posted coords.

Recently one of the Red Herrings decided to hide a cache using a Foucault Pendulum rather than a GPS receiver. He was so precise that he determined it took the pendulum exactly 38 Hours, 16 minutes, 54.90336 seconds to make a complete revolution at the cache site. This was the only reading he got but figured it was enough to find the cache. Will you be able to find it?



Good luck & have fun!
