Geocache Description:

No parachute required. This is an experimental series that was inspired by the elements of BASE jumping. (B)uilding, (A)ntenna, (S)tructure, (E)arth.


The objective is to identify the referenced elements and determine the vectors that are established by their linear relationships. The cache is located within 10 feet of the intersection of these vectors. For the purposes of this exercise, there are three types of vectors:

1.) The horizontal alignment of an element and its extensions beyond.

2.) The shortest distance between two points and its extensions beyond.

3.) The compass bearing to a point (true north - listed in parenthesis after the respective element).

The cache name lists the elements in play. The first element listed can be found at the posted coordinates. All of the elements in play are typically visible from the posted coordinates.

(B) refers to the plane of a building face.

(A) refers to the vertical axis of an antenna.

(S) refers to the vertical axis of a vertical element other than an antenna, such as a building spire or a water tower.

(E) refers to a linear, horizontal element on the earth (e.g. fence, curb, etc.).

A and S are the points that are referenced in numbers 2 and 3 above.

This series has been sitting on the back burner for a while. When I first came up with the idea, there was a story in the news that served as the inspiration for the cache name and which might provide a hint.
