A clue, A clue!!!
SonicBoomer2 was installing the latest of his series of ultra micros on the steeple of a large church near 68th and Mingo. He had just put the magnet backed microdot on top of the steeple when he noticed up in the sky a black airliner, very high in the air, approaching his position very quickly. Luckily he had been geocaching that very morning and exchanged a Scooby Doo Pez container for a laser rangefinder.

He pulled the device out of his inside pocket in his fishing vest, and sighted the approaching aircraft. To his amazement, he saw that it was flying at a ground speed of about 600 miles per hour about 10,700’ above sea level on a compass bearing of 353 deg 38.280 min and it was going to fly right over the steeple. Intrigued SB2 then pulled out his McDonald’s binoculars and a dollar store stop watch. As he watched the airplane approach he could see that it didn’t belong to an airline. Peering into the cockpit he saw somebody who had a bad haircut. “Aha!” he exclaimed, “it’s the wealthiest geocacher in the world! Ronald Dump, aka “DealBoy163” making one of his famous precision aerial cache placements. Excitedly, SB2, looked at the underside of the plane and saw it! The cache container, a black painted pretzel jar.
The billionaire Dump who had his lame television program cancelled last season had inadvertently found out that black barbecue grill paint applied to plastic rendered the object impervious to any sort of aerodynamic friction or effect at all. Where was Dump going to drop his cache? SoonerBoomer2 had to have that ftf, so he decided to see what was going to happen.
Uh Oh, The batteries on the rangefinder went out so SB2 was left with just his stop watch and binoculars. As the plane flew right over the steeple flying straight and level, SB2 started the stop watch, and squinted through the binoculars at the plane. It flew for 12.864 seconds (approximately) and then violently changed course, knocking the cache loose on the bottom of the plane. The pilot had ventured too close to the Tulsa Airport and had to take evasive action.
The aircraft went off to the northeast, the knocked loose cache continued on the original bearing but SonicBoomer2 lost sight of it. His heart sank, how could he ever find the cache. Obviously DealBoy163 wouldn’t be able to enter the cache since he didn’t know where it ended up. Please help SonicBoomer2 find Dump’s cache. If its any help, the coordinates of his ultra microcache microdot, “SteepleTopper”, is N36 03.991, W095 52.001. He was so rattled I don’t think he ever entered it, nor did he get permission.

Don’t forget Tulsa City Parks have a curfew of 11pm to 5 am and dogs must be leashed at all times.
