Geocache Description:


The Rectangle
a Geometry for Cachers Cache
DO NOT go to the posted coordinates for any of the listed points. They are only for reference in figuring out the puzzle.

Coordinates and locations and other things used in caching are all about geometry in the real world. This series of caches tests your geometry skills. If you "pass" the test… then you will find the caches.

Your first test is to find the center of a rectangle. The posted coordinates are just a random intersection… so you can safely ignore them. The other four sets of coordinates associated with this cache define the four corners of a rectangle. In the exact center of this rectangle… you will find the cache.

  • Corner 1: N 38° 32.830 W 090° 58.407
  • Corner 2: N 38° 32.830 W 090° 57.407
  • Corner 3: N 38° 31.830 W 090° 58.407
  • Corner 4: N 38° 31.830 W 090° 57.407

DO NOT go to any of the four corners at any time. But the cache location in the center is available 24/7. Good luck!
