THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE ABOVE
COORDINATES!
Our friend Amatuber has surpassed 1000 finds! He is an avid
geocacher who is also a member of the Night Time Ninjas. Welcome to
the comma club Amatuber! In honor of this accomplishment, the
WSFTFC has placed this cache for him. Enjoy!
In celebration of his milestone, Amatuber decided to take a
peaceful float down the Buffalo Bayou on his inner tube while
sipping libations from a soda tube that he had so smartly attached
to the inner tube with a piece of fishing line. It was going to be
a great day!
He listened to the chirping of the birds and watched the playful
alligators swim by. Suddenly it began to turn dark. Really dark.
Lightening cracked and a loud boom rumbled by. Amatuber looked up
and saw a huge storm rolling in, the torrential rain coming
suddenly. Water was rolling into the bayou at an alarming rate, the
bayou rising by the minute. Soon, the bayou had disappeared
altogether and he was in the midst of an angry sea. Up ahead he
could see a bridge with two people standing on it waving their
hands frantically. He reached out desperately to catch their hands.
Within seconds he was snatched from the roiling water to safety on
the bridge.
"My tubes!", he yelled and ran to the other side of the bridge
to watch them turning and crashing through the waves as they got
further and further away. He pulled a fancy ninja spy glass from
his pocket and peered through. In horror he saw the soda tube break
away from the inner tube. "I'll never find it now!", he screamed. A
sudden smile crossed his face as he saw the soda tube lodge itself
into a nest of vines. "All I need is to jot down a few measurements
so we can find that tube later!", he chuckled. Using the fancy
ninja spy glass, he was able to determine that the soda tube was
located at a bearing of 1.4902 radians. He then produced a portable
surface velocity meter, plunged it into the raging water and
recorded 17.38 knots. He approximated that the amount of time that
had passed from the time he was saved until the soda tube came to a
stop was around 90 seconds.
Using the posted coordinates as the spot where Amatuber was
saved, can you determine the location of his soda tube and help him
find it?
