Geocache Description:


The posted coordinates are not where the cache is located. You must figure out this puzzle from the information given below.

What's that plane doing on the road? This aerial photo of a DC9 was taken in 1995 and is in the public domain. This plane just happened to get photographed in flight and is located 14.6 miles from the Texas Capitol dome. Using the Terra Server or one of the aerial photo applications listed below, find this plane. Determine the coordinates of the left wingtip and plug them into your GPSr. The cache is hidden under the left wingtip. It is nestled between two small trees and I would appreciate it if you would replace it exactly where you found it.

Some suggested programs for viewing aerial photos (and topographical maps from the US Geological Survey) are:
