Geocache Description:

3rd in a series of geometry-based puzzles.


Cache is NOT located at the published coordinates

The published coordinates are for the Patriot's Path parking area just off of Whitehead Road. This puzzle goes along with Quake! (GC120DD) and Lost! (GC123BA). You'll need to solve the other 2 before Rescue!
Kid friendly adventure.


Bulletin:

The National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) has issued an urgent bulletin.

TREMOR teams have successfully located the stranded 5th quake team (reference GC120DD and GC123BA).

The 5th team must now reach the extraction point for rescue.

Scope of Extraction

Jumping off point will be the posted coordinates at N40° 48.056 W074° 31.827.  This will be your staging area.

Rescue protocol calls for the plotting of 3 points so the rescue team can easily extract the 5th team. 

By plotting the coordinates derived for the Quake epicenter (GC120DD), the coordinates calculated to locate the Lost team (GC123BA) and the coordinates from this Staging Area, the Rescue Triangle has been described.  The 5th team has been instructed to meet you at the center of the Rescue Triangle.  See Chart for plotting example.



Plotting Chart Example


Your objective as team lead is to reach the extraction site at the center of this Rescue Triangle.
