Geocache Description:


az·i·muth

/ˈazəməTH/

Noun:

  • The direction of a celestial object from the observer, expressed as the angular distance from the north or south point of the horizon to the point at which a vertical circle passing through the object intersects the horizon.
  • The horizontal angle or direction of a compass bearing.

Ever shot an azimuth before? It’s actually pretty simple and actually required if you’re going to find this letterbox!

What you’ll do is arrive at the posted coordinates (N 32° 18.174 W 084° 58.151)…once there, you should be looking at a road with a gate (it might be closed and that’s okay). Go to the corner post on the RIGHT hand side. Use a compass…GPS…smart phone app…something, and shoot a 212 degree azimuth.

Once you have that…simply walk for 60 meters and the cache should be at your feet! Sounds pretty simple, right?

So, in short:

  • Go to the posted cords (N 32° 18.174 W 084° 58.151)
  • From the RIGHT hand gate post (wood, not metal), shoot a 212 degree azimuth
  • Walk for 60 meters
  • You’ll be looking for a plastic ammo can
  • Return as you found it

Please don’t take the stamp or the inkpad…as a letterbox, those are part of the cache!
