Geocache Description:

From Paduch To Anywhere By Water

My high school students often tell me that Paducah is the remotest place on Earth. They scoff at me when I tell them that Paducah is not that far from everything.

The cache is NOT located at the posted coordinates. You will need to do a little research of some of the very remote places on Earth with Google Earth or Google maps to get the final coordinates.

Go to the listed waypoints online to get some information to solve the final parts of the final coordinates.

You will be searching for a magnetic nano-sized container with a log only, so BYOP.



Good Luck and Enjoy Your Flight...
