Geocache Description:

This cache is intended to be a simple primer on doing calculations with coordinates. Very simple and not much to do really.

The cache is not at the published location but is 15 seconds due north.

Difficulty is for both the puzzle and the hide. Short walk on a solid path makes for a wheelchair accessible 1 on the terrain. Bring your own writing device.

Google Earth and the geochecker are all you need to solve this puzzle. A bit of knowledge of coordinate systems will definitely help but in any case, this cache will let you learn a bit about them.

You MUST use the geochecker for this cache; it contains an essential clue to solving the location of the cache.

This cache is part of a series of six puzzles all based on the theme of determining the final coordinates by projecting or intersecting lines from points on the ground. There is also a final. To solve the final you will need to collect clues written on the log book in each of the other puzzles in the series.
