RISK The Series: East Africa
East Africa or Eastern Africa is the easterly region of the African continent, variably defined by geography or geopolitics. In the UN scheme of geographic regions, 19 territories constitute Eastern Africa:
Some parts of East Africa have been renowned for their concentrations of wild animals, such as the "big five" of elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard and black rhinoceros, though populations have been declining under increased stress in recent times, particularly the rhino and elephant.
The geography of East Africa is often stunning and scenic. Shaped by global plate tectonic forces that have created the Great Rift Valley, East Africa is the site of Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya, the two tallest peaks in Africa. It also includes the world's second largest freshwater lake Lake Victoria, and the world's second deepest lake Lake Tanganyika.
The climate of East Africa is rather atypical of equatorial regions. Because of a combination of the region's generally high altitude and the rain shadow of the westerly monsoon winds created by the Rwenzori Mountains and Ethiopian Highlands, East Africa is surprisingly cool and dry for its latitude.
The lower-lying lands of northern Kenya and Greater Somalia are indeed extremely dry. In fact, on the coast of Somaliland and Puntland many years can go by without any rain whatsoever.[21] Elsewhere the annual rainfall generally increases towards the south and with altitude, being around 400 millimetres (16 in) at Mogadishu and 1,200 millimetres (47 in) at Mombasa on the coast, whilst inland it increases from around 130 millimetres (5 in) at Garoowe to over 1,100 millimetres (43 in) at Moshi near Kilimanjaro. Unusually, most of the rain falls in two distinct wet seasons, one centred around April and the other in October or November. This is usually attributed to the passage of the Intertropical Convergence Zone across the region in those months, but it may also be analogous to the autumn monsoon rains of parts of Sri Lanka, Vietnam and the Brazilian Nordeste.
West of the Rwenzoris and Ethiopian highlands the rainfall pattern is more typically tropical, with rain throughout the year near the equator and a single wet season in most of the Ethiopian Highlands from June to September - contracting to July and August around Asmara. Annual rainfall here ranges from over 1,600 millimetres (63 in) on the western slopes to around 1,250 millimetres (49 in) at Addis Ababa and 550 millimetres (22 in) at Asmara. In the high mountains rainfall can be over 2,500 millimetres (98 in).
Rainfall in East Africa is influenced by El Niño events, which tend to increase rainfall except in the northern and western parts of the Ethiopian and Eritrean highlands, where they produce drought and poor Nile floods.
Temperatures in East Africa, except on the hot and generally humid coastal belt, are moderate, with maxima of around 25 °C (77 °F) and minima of 15 °C (59 °F) at an altitude of 1,500 metres (4,921 ft). At altitudes of above 2,500 metres (8,202 ft), frosts are common during the dry season and maxima typically about 21 °C (70 °F) or less.
On this cache you are looking for a 16 oz container. This cache is located in a small Aiken Co. Rec Dpet.
**** Keep in mind that you are looking for partial coordinates to RISK The Series: Secret Mission #1, #2, #3 and full coordinates to RISK The Series: Capture the Flag. PLEASE DO NOT MOVE COORDINATES FROM CACHE.
************************************************************************ ******* NOT ALL CACHES WILL HAVE COORDS IN THEM. PLEASE DO NOT PUT CLUES OF HAVING FOUND OR HAVING NOT FOUND COORDS IN YOUR LOGS. THESE LOGS WILL BE DELETED. BELOW IS HOW YOU WILL FIND THE COORDS ********************** ************************************************************************
One Territory out of each country will give you 1 part of the coordinates. For example a North American territory may give you N 00 00.000 for Secret Mission #? and an Asian territory may give you W 00 00.000 for the same mission. It will look like this when you find the code.
Risk The Series: Secret Mission #1 N 00 00.000
Or
Risk The Series: Secret Mission #1 W 000 00.000
Put the coordinates that you found for the matching missions together to find the location of that Mission.
****To find “RISK The Series: Capture the Flag” you must First find a territory that has the Coordinates to the final to capture the flag, Each territory can be found by putting in “RISK The Series”. For a specific territory add the territory name, for example: “RISK The Series: Eastern United States”.
