WARNING: This cache involves major bushwacking and pathfinding. It is not recommended for for weaklings, small children, or babies. It is a very challenging cache intended to be done with just your GPSr. It will take a minimum of 2 hours to complete.
Finding the cache with the goodies simply involves walking a circle and determining precise bearings with your GPSr.
Figure 1 shows the typical geometry involved. The circle whose radius is r has its center at Point C. Points A and B are special points. There is a point P on the perimeter of the circle where angle U has its greatest value. Angle U is the angle APB; that is, the angle formed by lines from point A to point P and from point B to point P. It is not necessary to use Calculus to find the point P where angle U has maximum value. Simple geometry and your GPSr is all that is required.
I will be happy to discuss solutions to this interesting geometry problem with any cacher who succeeds in signing the cache log book.
Figure 1
Start off by parking at N45 22.072 W075 33.848 . (This is the same parking area as for 'Tick's Torture' cache (GCHRK2).)
The fun starts at Waypoint 1 ... the cursing starts shortly thereafter! At the posted coordinates for Waypoint 1 (N45 22.138 W075 33.676) is a tag (blue with white lettering) on a pine tree with the minute portions of the coordinates of Waypoint 2. (All degree portions of coordinates are N45/W075.)
At Waypoint 2 are 3 tags (blue with white lettering) with the minute portions of coordinates of Point A, Point B, and Point C in the diagram. Point C is the center of the circle; the radius of the circle (r) is 195 meters.
You will have to go to some Point P (on the circle) where the angle U has its greatest value. The container is within an acceptable search area of this point; it is hanging in a large double-trunk white pine tree in plain view.
Good Luck! Don't forget to have fun and enjoy the varied terrain! I know I did, as I visited the area 5 times making sure the cache was set up properly ... *grin*. Deer are plentiful in the area.
