Geocache Description:

SOHCAHTOA


Wernher von “P” and I were doing some rocketry with a cache payload the other day. We found an out-of-the-way place to launch it, which are the coordinates above (there was a disturbance in “The Force” when we got there), and we sent that bad boy, which we named SOHCAHTOA, on its way!

Fortunately we had a spotter to help us because when SOHCAHTOA left the grip of the Earth, the only thing we were looking at was a gigantic cloud of smoke and a vapor trail ripping its path From The Earth To The Moon!

With a little help from our spotter, we figured out that SOHCAHTOA was launched perfectly... 90 degrees from the Earth and 31,653.1 feet straight up!! At that altitude, the cache-load was deployed and parachuted back to Earth at an amazing 31.4 degree angle with a heading of 77.56 degrees true (let me tell you, my spotter was good!).

Wernher von “P” and I never saw the cache again!
