Your mission: locate the secret drop point hidden in the aerial photo below. Look carefully. The drop point has been chosen and the cache is ready for exchanges.
Finding the Key
- Find the line of telephone poles just south of the foot bridge that crosses the creek. Follow these to the nearest road to the west.
- Locate the last pole, this is the only pole that doesn't have a lamp on it. There is short white fence near it. Copy down the five digit identification number on this telephone pole. You have the correct number if the digits add up to 28.
- Set the ID to ABCDE
- Two baseball diamonds are split by the creek and connected by the foot bridge.
Calculating the coordinates with the key
- Take a waymark near the telephone pole. You will need this waypoint to calculate the final.
- From the waypoint you marked, subtract 1 from the north whole minutes. (So, if the north minutes were 28, subtract 1 to get 27)
- Substitute ED5 as the decimal minutes of the north (This is the last and fourth digit of the telephone pole ID number).
- Substitute 5BCas the decimal miutes of the west (This is the second and third digit of the telephone pole ID number)
Interpreting Aerial Photographs and finding the Drop Point
Interpreting an aerial photograph requires a little skill. Aerial photographs contain a lot of information, you should quickly be able to identify roads from dirt trails, and housing developments from wooded areas. Look for rivers and streams, drainage patterns, fields, power lines, and retail and manufacturing buildings. Compare the aerial photograph to a topographic or street map to identify, roads names and major highways, railroads and water ways.
