Geocache Description:

This cache will hopefully challenge some Geocachers. It is the second in series of navigation caches. This cache is available between 5AM to 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 another reference point and bearings will help you determine the final location of the cache.

Step 1 - Draw a line bearing 155 degrees True (Azimuth) from coordinates: N39° 45.127' W076° 59.618' (Reference Point 1)

Step 2 - Draw a line bearing 132 degrees True (Azmuth) from coordinates: N39° 44.476' W076° 59.535' (Reference Point 2)

Step 3 - The intersection of the above two lines is the final location of the cache.

Enjoy! Remember, No Swimming Allowed.

If you are off by 1/2 degrees in your calculation, then you will off target from the final location by 90 feet 9 and 3/4 inches.

Since this cache is more about testing or learning navigation skills, I can send you three possible techniques to solving this challenge upon request.

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 compass or navigation skills using a GPS, then the difficulty is more like 2.5 to 3 stars.
