Latitude
Abbreviated “Lat” is the angle from a point on the Earth's surface to the equatorial plane, measured from the center of the sphere. Lines joining points of the same latitude are called parallels, which trace concentric circles on the surface of the Earth, parallel to the equator. The north pole is 90° N; the south pole is 90° S. The 0° parallel of latitude is designated the equator, the fundamental plane of all geographic coordinate systems. The equator divides the globe into Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
This Series has a little bit of everything ranging from 2-wheel drive, high-clearance, and some 4x4 access to a couple of smash and grab, some trekking, and a little hiking. You may encounter some pin striping if you choose a straight route. The hides and terrain are a mix of things. There are fenced areas that cannot be trespassed. You will find an area of posted signs warning you that there is an area to stay out of nearby. You will have access to the roads. If unsure, you can verify info with the “claim” located in containers near the claim.
This Series was scouted and placed by the Scrabble Dogs and I in a total of 9 hours. This includes prepping, coordinate verifications, and taking in the views. What this means is that you will be able to accomplish this series in less time unless you prefer to take in the views and explore the area. You will find yourself in a secluded part of the desert. Bring some lunch and snacks, and most importantly, bring plenty of water, especially if you’re here during the spring and summer months. You’ll want to be prepared regardless of the conditions. Like always, never stick your hand in places you can’t see as you will be in critter country. Please respect the Desert and stay on designated roads.
Enjoy the series and safe caching.
