ENROUTE! GRETT Intersection Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

JETSchmidt: Yes,
This one has fallen off of my radar, and I've let it languish too long. Time to allow someone else to use this space. Sorry for the time wasted looking for this one. I should have taken care of it in January.

Geocache Description:

An intersection on an airway is directly above you! Congratulations to pir2^3 on the First To Solve and Find!

Don't do any searching at the published coordinates, unless you are wearing a police uniform! (it's the parking lot for the police station )

Located 13 miles from the Omaha VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR), the GRETT intersection is used by aircraft flying in the clouds(as well as those flying in good weather) as reporting point. A named place that they will fly by on their way to Omaha, or a place where they will begin navigation away from Omaha.

GRETT can by identified by tuning two radios, The VOR reciever, and one of the following, A Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) at the Plattsmouth airport, or a Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) that communicates with the Omaha VOR. It can also be identified with a GPSr.

The cache is located as close as I could get and not have the cache plowed in the spring, or make the nearby police nervous . The coordinates are, of course, published, just not here. You have to know where to look for them. Once you get those coordinates, convert them to dd mm.mmm, then just add .051 to the longitude and you're there.

For Goodness Sake, Don't park on 72nd Street! Way too much comatose traffic on that street!
