Geocache Description:


Aerial Intelligence - Apison, Tenn.
-Posted coordinates are for the trailhead-


This cache was inspired by other Aerial Intelligence caches scattered around the country. Each one is different, so here is my version.

Your Task:

This cache can only partially be solved from the cache page. The coordinates for the 5-gallon bucket must be physically located somewhere within two miles from the trailhead coordinates.

Ready? Here are the coordinates:

N 35° __ . ____ W085° __ . ____

They are located where the two lines meet on the following Google image:
Interpreting Aerial Photographs

Interpreting an aerial photograph requires a little skill. People spend years becoming proficient photo-interpreters, and the amateur or casual user of these images is wise to spend a few minutes learning to distinguish a small cloud shadow from a small lake, an air force base from a civilian airport, or a stand of young timber from a grassy hillside.
(Paragraph taken from GCGPYX, the first Aerial Intelligence cache in existence)

The FTF will find a special travel bug that only wants to be placed in unfound caches. Take it, and hide it in a new cache.


Good luck, and have fun!
