“Homework Required”
Ignore the above
coordinates.
I have been asked to place a cache that
requires a little more thought. Thanks to Jim Reeb of Denver and
some of his caches I put this one together. It is a multi with 3
sites. The third being the one you are looking for. Be sure to take
a calculator with you. Note: 4/12/03 I had to move the cache as it
was found by a non cacher. NEW FORMULA ADDED.
Where The Three meet.
# 1: 92.77 Miles from
"Plaidbeard's
Plunder" by Plaidbeard's Crew
# 2: Traveling from
"Ned
Houk USA Cache" by av_boy at a speed of 2470.9
Centimeters per Second it would take you 27.072727 Minutes to
arrive (As the crow flies)
# 3: A circle with the area of 2.03786
square legua (Texas) with “Portales
Walk Cache” as the
center. The outside of this circle will “touch” the
other two points.
After you figure the Coordinates for the above
you may e-mail me for confirmation if you want.

Now if you did things right you will find a
plaque.
Latitude Degrees is N34. You must calculate
the Minutes.
Add up all of the printed years. Take this
number and divide by 1000 then multiply by (0.4381) this answer is
the Latitude’s Minutes. So you now have 34 Degrees XX.XXXX
Minutes.
Longitude is W103 Degrees. You must calculate
the Minutes.
Now take the number of years (again) and
divide by 1000 then multiply by (0.8356) this equals the
Longitude’s Minutes. So now you have 103 Degrees YY.YYYY
Minutes.
Proceeded to those
coordinates.
Again if you did well you will find another
plaque.
Latitude Degrees is N34. You must calculate
the Minutes.
Add all of the 4 digit years then subtract all
of the 2 digit years. Take this number and divide by 1000 then
multiply by (0.90455) this is the Latitude’s Minutes. So now you
have 34 Degrees XX.XXXX Minutes.
Longitude is W103 Degrees. You must calculate
the Minutes.
Add all of the 4 digit years then subtract all
of the 2 digit years. Take this number and divide by 1000 then
multiply by (1.8921) this is the Longitude’s Minutes. So now you
have 103 Degrees YY.YYYY Minutes.
Got IT? Now on to the real cache. A De-Con
container. Be sure to log your hunt and/or search. GOOD LUCK!
