Geocache Description:

The geocache is not located at the coordinates posted above. You will have to use your eagle eyes to find this one. Actually, you won't need any coordinates at all to find this cache. A map might be handy.

Back in Texas, I own a series of geocaches that use aerial photography to pinpoint locations. Click the following links for a couple of examples...
Big White Arrow - Texas Flower
Big White Arrow - Lakeside Park

I have also hidden a few Big White Arrow caches in Ohio, up in the Dayton area. Now I have hidden this one in the Cincinnati area. I hope you enjoy it.

This geocache is located somewhere in the Cincinnati area. Actually, it is located somewhere in the following image. Can you see it?


Aerial Photo - Cincinnati Area

By clicking below, you'll see a series of four images. I think that is all you need to find this cache.

First, take a look at this one. Got your bearings? If not immediately, then after a little study, you should be able to identify the areas in this image. Do you recognize the river at the bottom?

Next, check this one out. Hmmm. The major features in this city are definitely the roadways. Where could that be?

Here's the next one. Now we're getting close. Check it out. Look at that woman sunbathing in her backyard at about the 119533rd pixel! Wow!

And here's the final image. There it is. I can see the cache from here.

Please understand the following...
a. In all of these photos, up is due north.
b. The aerial photos are dated. Some changes may have taken place in the landscape. For example, a tree that appears in a photo may no longer be there.
c. These are Terraserver images. I know that Google Earth imagery is prettier. However, Google processes their source data, so there may be copyright issues with it. I know for a fact that Terraserver imagery is public domain. And it is good enough.
d. The cache is located at the very tip of the arrow. If you are careful, you should be able to place yourself within ten feet of the arrow tip. Then, you will be within ten feet of the cache.

Be careful and do not let a non-geocacher see you retrieve the cache. You are so shifty-looking. So be careful about that.


Good luck and have fun.
