Geocache Description:


 

The 38th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 38 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane. It crosses Europe, the Mediterranean SeaAsia, the Pacific OceanNorth America, and the Atlantic Ocean. The 38th parallel north formed the border between North and South Korea prior to the Korean War.

When Japan surrendered in August 1945, the 38th parallel was established as the boundary between Soviet and American occupation zones. This parallel divides the Korean peninsula roughly in the middle. In 1948, this parallel became the boundary between the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) and the Republic of Korea (South Korea), both of which claim to be the government of the whole of Korea. On 25 June 1950, after a series of cross-border raids and gunfire from both the Northern and the Southern sides, the North Korean Army crossed the parallel and invaded South Korea. This sparked a United Nations resolution against the aggression and the Korean War, with United Nations troops (mostly Americans) helping to defend South Korea.

From the posted coordinates, which is on the 38th parallel, project a waypoint .39 miles on a bearing of 310.39 Degrees. There you will find a 35 mm film can. Log only. BYOP. Please use stealth if needed and put back as found.
