Red Rover is a fun call-and-response game where teams form chains and try to run through the opponent's chain. You don't need any equipment or a special field to play on, you can start a game of Red Rover just about anywhere. Red Rover is a great game that uses strategy, builds teamwork skills, and can give you a bit of exercise too.
The game is played between two lines of players, usually positioned approximately thirty feet apart. The game starts when the first team calls a player out by saying or singing the line, "Red rover, red rover, send [player on opposite team] right over!"
The immediate goal for the person called is to run to the other line and break the team's chain (formed by the linking of hands). If the player called fails to break the chain, they join that team. However, if the player successfully breaks the chain, they may select either of the two "links" broken by the successful run, and take them to join their team. The second team then calls out "Red rover" for a player on the first team, and play continues.
The objective of the game is to end with the most players on your team by maintaining the integrity of your chain. The game ends when all the players end up on one side.

Everyone in the game is a SOJOURNER, residing temporarily on their team until they are called over. And when your name is called, the warring SPIRIT speeds your body toward the other team relishing in the OPPORTUNITY to break their line. The other teams stands firmly locked, their CURIOSITY ablaze as to whether they can hold you off.
BUT, very little of the above has anything to do with this puzzle...
In fact, all that is required of you is to project a waypoint (I suggest using Google Earth) from the given coordinates that is on an approximately 331 degree heading and approximately 596 miles away. Now that you have your waypoint, note the name of the large natural geographical landmark located there. You should have a name like "grand canyon".
Now, simply type the two-word name (no spaces or punctuation) from Google Earth into the checker to find the true coordinates. Google Earth Pro is a free download available at https://www.google.com/earth/download/gep/agree.html.
You can validate your puzzle solution and get a hint regarding placement of the container using certitude.
Enjoy, happy hunting, and good luck spilling your ink. Cache ya later!

Logging Etiquette: Geocache hiders sometimes go through a great deal of planning and effort to create and place their caches. As a result, they'd like to hear your feedback on whether you liked or disliked any aspect of the hide, the journey or location, or if you feel that some cache maintenance is required. Single word, acronym, or "copy and paste" logs may be easier when you have a lot of caches to log, but it doesn't tell the hider or other finders anything about your adventure (or lack thereof) in finding the cache. Please keep this in mind when entering your log.
Travelbug Etiquette: Cachers pay good money for TravelBugs and Geocoins. If you take a TB or GC from a cache will you PLEASE ensure it is correctly logged in and out. If you take one that still shows it is somewhere else, please be patient before “grabbing” the item; it does not get its mileage by being grabbed before the last person to drop it has had time to log their placement. This is particularly important on busy and new caches. If you have an issue with a bug or coin, please e-mail or message the owner through their profile and advise them of the issue; they will be pleased to hear from you.
