Geocache Description:

Web-ling #30

An Orienteering multi-cache originally placed in conjunction with the North Texas Geo-Gathering on April 20, 2002, by request of the hosts, Brokenwing and T-Storm. The cache is stroller-friendly until the last few yards.


This cache was placed by a member of the O.K.I.C.
For more information please click on the above logo.
As of August, 2003, this cache is being maintained by Texas Tiger, because Web-ling is moving back to Ohio.

Using the aerial photo, find each of the 5 control points. At the first four control points, look for the clues which will lead to the actual cache. The coordinates given are for the first control point.
 

Point Information to look for: Clue Formula
1 The phone number for the pay phone is 817-275-9WX1 A A=W x X
2 How long is the red River trail? B B=20 x length of trail
3 Donna K Brasher was Director of Arlington Parks and Recreation from 9-3-85 to 3-DD-YY C C=YY-DD
4 Dr. Richard A. Snider was a Council member from 19ZZ to 1952 D D=ZZ

From control point #5 (sign), you use a bearing and distance to locate the cache.
 

Distance (feet) B + D
Bearing (magnetic degrees) C - A

I recommend using a compass for the final leg, but the compass on your GPSr can also be used.
