Geocache Description:

This cache will hopefully challenge Geocachers. It is the first in series of navigation caches. This cache is only available between 5am and 9pm.

The posted coordinates do not take you to the cache, but they are an important part in finding this cache. The posted coordinates along with two other reference points will help you determine the final location of the cache. The distance from all three Reference Points must be true to determine the final location of the cache.

Reference 1: This Final Cache is located 3297 feet from N39° 44.694' W076° 59.194' (Posted Coordinates)

Reference 2: The Final cache is located  2591.25 feet from N 39° 44.94598' W 076° 59.91315'

Reference 3: The Final cache is located  3948.25 feet from N39° 45.521' W076° 58.729'

Reference 4: The Final cache is located  5441.93 feet from  N 39° 46.123' W 76° 59.590'

The challenging part of this cache is that I do not provide bearings from each reference point to the cache. They simply are not needed. Since this cache requires special skills, knowledge, or in-depth preparation to find, I have rated the Difficulty level at 4.5 stars. If you have good navigation skills using a GPS, then the difficulty is more like 2.5 to 3 stars. Since this cache is more about testing or learning navigation skills, I can send you three possible techniques to solving this challenge upon request. Enjoy and BYOP!
