The posted coordinates will take you to an interpretive sign
entitled 'Dragonflies in Northern Virginia Regional Parks.' Using
the information on the sign, answer some easy questions to discover
the final cache location. Wear appropriate footwear as the final
location is likely to be marshy at times.
The actual cache can be found by projecting a waypoint:
ABCD feet
at
EFG° true
A= Wingspan of today's smallest dragonfly, found in China
(A 1/2")
B= Wingspan of today's largest dragonfly, found in Australia
(B 1/2")
C= Some larvae live up to C years.
D= The largest dragonfly ever lived D hundred million
(D00) million years ago.
E= Dragonflies have 3E,000 lenses per eye.
F= H*H. 1H species of dragonflies are featured on this
sign.
G= J+J. Dragonflies can fly at speeds of up to J5 miles
per hour.
The cache can be found in a fairly obvious location within a
comfortable walking distance from the sign, although there is
nearby parking if you plan to do other caches near the final
location.
This cache was placed for the 2008 NoVAGO Spring Fling
Redux event.
