Geocache Description:

OK, nothing too hard this time, just a simple projection puzzle to get to a Travel Bug Hotel.

Background
This cache serves three purposes. One it gives me a Travel Bug Hotel near my work. Two it gives me a cache placed this month. Three, it allows more people a chance to solve a Loch Cache puzzle without going nuts. (Although I did dream up a new puzzle while I was pondering what to do for this one that I will use at a later point in time.)

The Cache
This cache is a simple hide. Maybe too simple which is why I created a puzzle. I placed it close enough to where I am currently working so IF I wanted to I could get in my car, drive to to the cache, swap travel bugs and get back to work before my half hour lunch break was over.

The Puzzle
Look at the posted coordinates for this cache. Look up the two caches I own with the closest posted coordinates to this cache. From the closer of the two draw a line segment that would have a reverse azimuth of 191.9 degrees and is exactly two miles long. Use the other as the center point of a disk with a circumference of 42,682 feet. Where the outer perimeter of the disk intersects the line segment is where you will find this travel bug hotel.

Good luck and good caching,

Loch Cache
