Geocache Description:

A simple bearing-bearing intersection will get you there.

You will be required to do some basic surveying calculations in order to find the coordinates for this cache.

Do the following:

1. Project a bearing of 232 degrees (true North) from WP1 which is located at N 45 27.671' W 75 37.390'.

2. Project a bearing of 134 degrees (true north) from WP2 which is located at N 45 27.915' W 75 38.192'.

Determine the point where the two lines cross. The cache is here.

The kicker here is that my bearings are rounded to the nearest degree, which increases your search area. Alternatively you can walk from WP1 along the bearing of 232 degrees until you find the cache, but this could take a very, very long time. You can't walk from WP2 since it is in the middle of the Ottawa River!

Good luck!
