Finding the location of the "snake eyes" in the aerial
photograph below is the key to solving this geocache puzzle. There
is a small green building immediately to the west of the two round
objects (snake eyes). About 150 feet from this building, bearing
248 degrees, is a small dowel in a treehole upon which are written
the coordinates of the actual cache. The final cache is about 0.6
miles from the "snake eyes." and can be reached by walking or a
combination drive/walk. Once you have the coordinates, the cache
itself will be an easy find.
The coordinates above are not for the cache itself.
Instead, they are for a prominent Grand Traverse Bay area landmark
which is located 7.87 miles (as the crow flies) from the
"snake eyes." This aerial photograph is from TerraServer which
provides aerial images of the continental United States. Use
TerraServer and comparison with appropriate maps and/or your
innate knowledge of the area to solve this puzzle. The "prominent
landmark" is visible from the vicinity of the cache site on a clear
day.
This geocache was inspired by
GCGPYX and others like it.
Satellites have many purposes in addition to providing
navigation, the function we utilize in geocaching. If it is a clear
sunny day when you find this cache, look up into the sky and smile
-- you may be on candid camera!
