Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.




Most of us are familiar with large international airports like the one adjacent to the posted coordinates.  But what is amazing, is the sheer number of small air strips that dot the American landscape.  Just take a look at some examples:

N 48° 10.222, W 111° 58.145
N 41° 52.896, W 121° 58.541
N 35° 08.997, W 118° 01.088
N 59° 15.940, W 158° 33.981
N 41° 11.108, W 120° 56.990
N 32° 50.702, W 115° 16.659
N 40° 04.915, W 123° 48.931
N 36° 36.374, W 117° 09.321

Yes, some of you may be getting that feeling of déjà vu and you’d be correct in thinking that this isn’t exactly a new puzzle.  Forgive me but my goal is to reclaim a rather unique location that I previously let slip away.  I'm pretty sure xmts would approve.
