GPS uses time to determine the
coordinates of the receiver. In order to find this cache you
need to be at the posted location, at the time for the day
you plan to search given in the table below. If the exact day
is not listed, you can interpolate between the 2 nearest
dates. You then need to measure the length of the shadow of a
blue pole, in inches.
This cache has a terrain=2 rating since its
either a moderate walk, or short bike ride. Difficulty=2.5 since
you will not likely get exactly the same length and may have to
search a bit for the final.
Due to some terrain problems in casting a shadow, I'll make
it easy. The shadow should be ~480 inches long.
If you take any of the original time
related items listed below, you have to explain its significance to
*time* in your log. The final location is at
N42 03.xxx
W091 36.yyy
xxx =(length in
inches)+481
yyy=(length in inches)+180
Times are in Central Standard Time. Given in
