Geocache Description:

The Cache is -Not- at the Posted Coordinates, (but that's a great place to hold a convention!)

Five images are posted. Your mission is to locate the exact spot from which the picture was taken. Use the coordinates from these places to build the coordinates for the final cache. Final cache is a "Hugh Jazz" sized ammo can. You know what a 30mm can looks like, and what a 50mm looks like, I'd say that makes this, oh, about a 90mm.


These images were all taken in and around Wichita, pretty much around the center of town, certainly all within the "loop." Stand as close as you can to the spot where the photo was taken to get your coordinates as accurate as you can. There are no photographic tricks, alterations, or enlargements to these images. The photos were taken all from public places where you can walk to with a camera. Some shots were zoomed in, some were wide angle. It won't matter much, if you get to where you can see the same scene that's in the photo, you're close enough to get an accurate reading of your position.

Coords of this spot: N 37, X?.???, W097 Y?.???. Add X and Y, call that sum E.

Coords of this spot: N 37, ?X.???, W097 ?Y.???. Multiply X and Y, call that sum B.

Coords of this spot: N 37, ??.X??, W097 ??.Y??. Add X and Y, call that sum C.

Coords of this spot: N 37, ?X.Y??, W097 Z?.???. Add X, Y, and Z, call that sum F.

Coords of this spot: N 37, ?X.???, W097 ?Y.???. Subtract X from Y, call that difference D.

Let G=F-1, The cache is at N37 G9.BC1' W097 CD.EF2'
