Geocache Description:


There are strange things going on in the Conroy pit. It has been reported that groups of people have been spotted walking around with little electronic devices who seem to "disappear" into the woods and then appear again as if by magic. It's said there is strange hidden treasure in these woods or maybe it is just a hiding spot for aliens. Your mission should you choose to accept it, is to find out just what it is these people (aliens) are looking for.  Good Luck.

 

The Conroy Triangle cache is not at the listed coordinates but if you are walking your dog in the area the green garbage can at this location might be very useful.

 

Poop & Scoop

You will be required to find three points of a triangle. All can be accessed from within the Conroy Pit walking area. In total it is about 5 KM if you walk the full distance. For the most part all points can be reached from established paths with a short bushwhack at the end as you approach them. All tags are in plain view at eye height. 

From the listed cache coordinates (you should not have to go there to do this but you can if you like) find the first point by making a projection of 195 Mils at a distance of 513 meters. All projections are in True North.

At point 1 you will find a tag with two numbers. The first number is the direction in Mils and the second is the distance in meters to Point 2.  

At point 2 you will find two tags with three numbers. The first number is the direction in Mils and the second is the distance in meters to Point 3. Remember the third number and call it (A). 

At point 3 you will find a tag with one number. Remember this number and call it (B). 

The cache is at a bearing of (A) Mils from the Circumcenter and at a bearing of (B) Mils from the Incenter of the triangle.

Now make the projections and go and grab the cache.

Give yourself a big pat on the back if you complete all the calculations in the field using your GPSr only.
