You can swim out to the above coordinates if you want, but you
won't find a cache there. I won't be giving you any coordinates.
But you don't need any coordinates to find this cache. A map might
be handy.
Back in Texas, I own a series of geocaches that use aerial
photography to pinpoint locations. Click the following links for a
couple of examples...
Big White Arrow - Texas Flower
Big White Arrow - Lakeside Park
I thought it would be fun to hide an aerial photography geocache up
here in the Ohio area. So I did. I hope you enjoy it.
This geocache is located somewhere in the Dayton area. Actually, it
is located somewhere in the following image. Can you see it?
By clicking below, you'll see a series of four images. I think that
is all you need to find this cache.
First, take a look at this one.
Got your bearings? If not immediately, then after a little
study, you should be able to identify the areas in this image. I'll
give you a hint. The place starts with "D" and ends in "ayton".
Next, check this one out. Hmmm.
Runways and major water features make bird-o-vision easy.
Where could that be?
Here's the next one. Now we're getting close.
Check out that Ferrari in the upper left corner. You just don't see
those often.
And here's the final image.
There it is. I can see the cache from here.
Please understand the following...
a. In all of these photos, up is due north.
b. The aerial photos are dated. The ones here were taken in 2000.
Some changes may have taken place in the landscape. For example, a
tree that appears in a photo may no longer be there.
c. The cache is located at the very tip of the arrow. If you are
careful, you should be able to place yourself within ten feet of
the arrow tip. Then, you will be within ten feet of the cache.
The cache container is somewhat exposed, however I really don't
think a non-geocacher will notice it. The more likely danger is
probably someone spotting you, because you are so shifty-looking.
So be careful about that.
Regarding the name of this cache... I was listening to Strange
Beautiful Music as I placed this cache. That's all.
Good luck and have fun.
