First of all use
this coord checker to make sure you determined the
coordinates.
Ever wonder just how
fast the
speed of light is? In imperial units, it’s around
186,282.397 miles per second, or about 670
million miles
per hour, give or take a few hundred thousand! Not too shabby
I’d say. Driving that fast, you would circle the 24,902 mile
equatorial circumference of the globe in a measly 0.13 seconds and
go through a set of 60,000 mile warrantee tires in about a third of
a second! Oh yeah. No need to consider that because you would burn
up instantly due to air friction anyway. It’s a wonder how
Santa can deliver all those presents in a single night without
going down in flames.
I figured out once
that if a person left the
earth at the speed of light, looking
back after only one second, the earth would appear as large as a
quarter held at 22 inches; about an arm’s length for me. Now
that’s crank’n!! Hold a quarter and with a swoosh sound
(required) move to 22 inches while you say one one thousand
one and see how fast that is for yourself. It’s
impressive.
Oh, I almost forgot,
the Morse code below is your only hint! [New as of 7/11/10. Here's
another hint. A/B = C It's as simple as that.] If I were you I
would cut and paste all that code then locate an online conversion for Morse
code to translate all
that stuff.

Remember that the
posted coordinate of a mystery or puzzle cache is supposed to be
within a mile of the real cache position. Any further instructions
will be available in the first log I post for this cache. Good
luck!

below depicts how fast a beam of light would reach the moon after
being shot from the earth. We're talking about 1.2
seconds!
