Geocache Description:

Cache is not at the listed coordinates.

The dictionary defines triangulation as: A method of determining the relative positions of points in space by measuring the distances, and sometimes angles, between those points and other reference points whose positions are known.

The listed coordinates will help find the turn off from the main trail to the secondary trail.

The puzzle for this cache is inspired by an old and archived cache I found a few years ago called Triangulation by Rogue23.

This cache is a bit different in that there is only one picture for each location. You need to find each location and use the given distances to triangulate to the location of the cache container. In theory you can triangulate a location in two dimensions with only two positions, but there are three given here to help give you more accuracy.


It's 140 feet from here:
location 1

It's 343 feet from here:
location 2

It's 357 feet from here:
location 3

There are a couple of Bison tubes for the FTF and STF.

Make sure you bring along something to write with to sign the log.
