Geocache Description:


This cache is located 31,662.2 ft. from HR Alphabet Soup: W is for Warbirds.

When hiding multiple caches at the same time it is paramount to keep the right coordinates associated with the correct cache that your hiding.  Otherwise, you could end up doing what I did, publishing the right cache with the wrong coordinates, therefore, somewhat tipping your hand to fellow cachers as to where your next cache may be located.

Just to give you some idea of the magnitude of my mistake, I have taken the liberty of doing some calculations to make it easier for you to reference just how far 31,662.2 ft. actually is.

The obvious one is 5.99 miles, but lets look deeper.

How about 33.3 Nimitz Class Aircraft Carriers lined up bow to fantail?

How about 510 F-14 Tomcats, lined up nose to tail?

How about 577 F/A-18 Super Hornets, lined up nose to tail?

How about 2.6, 12,000 foot High-Performance Aircraft Runways at NAS Oceana?

For those of you who may not be so familiar with the military side of me,

How about 34,541 small ammo cans, lined up one to the next?

How about 126,648.8, 2007 Red Jeep Travel Bugs?

And if people 6ft. tall were to stand with arms outstretched, finger tip to finger tip, then there would be about 5,277 lined up in a row.

So, as you can see it is very important to keep your coordinates and caches straight when hiding and publishing them.

Happy Caching!!
