Geocache Description:


Streakers' SOS #5

 

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.  Please solve the puzzle below to find the actual cache location.

 

A popular geocaching goal or challenge is to maintain a "streak" of finds, for example, finding at least one cache every day for a week or a month or even several years.

 

The problem usually encountered with such a goal is you start to run out of any nearby caches, and end up traveling significant distances every day the streak is kept going.

 

When an unexpected new cache shows up in your area, it can be a big relief and save one of those longer trip days.

 

This mini series is intended to provide a welcome relief to streaking cachers in the north and east parts of Salt Lake City.  Got a full day and no time left for a longer journey?  Just not feeling up to a long drive?  Bogged down with chores?  Here's an answer to your SOS!

 

Not streaking?  Find these caches any time.  But, the dedicated streaking cacher might wish to save some of these for that much-needed break.  It is my intention that they remain active for at least a year.

Shining brightly in the night

What?  Just light pollution?

You're here for a puzzle solution!

And now your task is clear

Just drop to Street View here:

 

Three flags you'll see - take heed!

The furthest south is the one you need

Looks to me like the flag of ...
