As the Crow Flies
a Geometry for Cachers Cache
|
The posted coordinates will just put you in the middle of an intersection. There is no cache there. Solve the puzzle — find the cache!
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 fifth test is all about angles and distances. The location of the cache is a bit under 10,000 feet from the posted coordinates… as the crow flies. Unfortunately… I'm not a crow… so I had to follow the roads till I got to the location where the cache should be.
I started my trip at the posted coordinates.
- From the posted coordinates I drove to a point 495 feet away at 221.6°
- Then I turned down the road and continued to a point 10,682 feet away at 138.3°
- I couldn't stop now… so I turned and went to a point 1,483 feet away at 74.8°
- This was getting fun… so I continued down this same road till I got to a point 6,127 feet away at 32.2°
- I turned and on I went to a place 1,535 feet away at 298.8°
- Another great place to turn… till I got to a place 5,301 feet away at 358.3°
- I could feel I was almost there… so on I went to a point only 766 feet away at 286.6°
What a strange place for a crow to go! But this is where the cache can be found.
