Geocache Description:


You should be able to access this cache without leaving the C470 biking/walking path

This hide is near the base of a tower supporting a power transmission line.  This transmission line operates at 230 kilovolts (1000 times the voltage of typical neighborhood power).  The tower carries two circuits of three phases each.  The wires are probably rated at 800-1200 amps so the two circuits can probably transmit up to about 1.4 Gigawatts.  That's a lot of power for such a little-noticed object as a transmission line.  You can think about how many homes and businesses this supports and how much we rely on electric transmission lines to keep our lights on.

The cache is a small container suitable for small trackables.  No pen in the container but a trackable and a coin for the first to find.  BYOP.

Congratulations to Knyte7 for the F2F.
