Geocache Description:

Where would you end up if you dug a hole straight through the earth?
 


Cache is NOT at the posted coordinates! Don't go there unless you want to stand in traffic.

 

This could be one of the hardest geocaches you've ever set out to find. First go to the posted waypoint (S 41° 33.414, E 092° 29.047). From the choppy surface of the Indian Ocean, descend in your deep-sea submerisble to the ocean floor. Then start digging.

Keep digging until you pop out on the other side of the earth in Munster, Indiana. Be sure you're digging in a straight line!!

Once you dig to Munster, you should be right where I placed the cache. Now if only there was an easier way to figure out where the cache is hidden.....

 

Final is a black bison.

Some of the coordinate conversion tools I've seen introduce a little bit of error to the final results, so if your solved coordinates are within about 16 ft, the checker will say you're correct.



Congrats to sgerbs on the FTF!!
