Geocache Description:

This cache is a sequel to my “Revenge” cache which was meant as a challenge to some of our local Geowizards. In that respect it was a failure because, mostly with their mapping software and innate skill, they made short work of the cache. I am hoping this second attempt will provide a bit more of a challenge both physically and mentally.

This cache involves two similar superimposed right triangles that both share the same right angle. The cache is located at the midpoint of the hypotenuse of the larger triangle which has an area 2.33 times the smaller one. The waypoint given is the right angle for both triangles. The waypoint for the length of one side of the smaller triangle is located .47 miles and 300 degrees from true north. The opposite angle of the triangle from this second waypoint is 21 degrees and situated to the north. In fairness to those that follow you please do not conceal the cache any better than it is.
