Geocache Description:

**** The cache is NOT at the posted co-ordinates. ****

This is a camo'd pickle jar hidden with the intention of being available all year round.


To find this cache you will need to calculate it's position by finding the distance written in the log book and on the lid of 'Aurora Triangle - A', 'Aurora Triangle - B' and 'Aurora Triangle - C'. These distances represent the distance to the the Final from the relative cache. Calculating the intersection of the circles created by these distances is the challenge. Please keep in mind that due to the nature of the calculation you need to expect the resultant co-ordinates to be a bit more off than you might normally expect (there will be no exact answer). The hint should help in this situation. Hence the difficulty rating.

Inspired by the Newmarket Triangle cache which has recently been archived, we thought this would be a good way to tie in some of our traditional caches that we wanted to place and offer a 'bonus' for doing them all. Good luck with the trig!

It's entirely possible to 'brute force' this after visiting two of the other caches, but then there's still another traditional out there to do, so THAT then becomes the bonus cache. :)

Congratulations to Fababoo on the FTF.
