Geocache Description:


The Pentagon
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 seventh test is to find the center of The Pentagon. No… not THAT Pentagon. You probably wouldn't have much luck getting in there. But at the center of the equilateral pentagon defined by the five points below… you will find the cache you are looking for. The five points of The Pentagon are:

  • N 38° 32.614 W 090° 52.924
  • N 38° 32.252 W 090° 52.747
  • N 38° 32.007 W 090° 53.131
  • N 38° 32.219 W 090° 53.545
  • N 38° 32.593 W 090° 53.417

The cache is located in the center of The Pentagon. Good luck!
