Geocache Description:



This cache is placed as part of the Chocolate Moose III event. A great little gathering of geocachers and friends.

Another of my favorites.  Projections.  Also known as compass headings.  

Being a geography major (WMU Class of 93), I love maps and all things related, so this is right up my alley.  Shouldn't be too hard.  Let me know what you think.

The coordinates take you to the Portland soccer field. More specifically the penalty shot line on the north end of the pitch. My youngest son and I spent a lot of time on this field practicing soccer. From here, you will need to travel 315' at a compass bearing of 338 degrees. When you are there, you are at Stage 2. Follow directions on the waypoint description below.

I had planned on using a sign to get the distances, but with the school area undergoing construction, most of the area has been off limits. Next year!!!

If you enjoyed the cache and have a Premium Membership then consider awarding it a Favorite Point. The more Favorite Points it has, the more others may be attracted to share your experience. After all, that's the reason Favorites were created!
