THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE ABOVE LOCATION.
This is the 10th in the First To Find Challenge Series, started by LostGuys.
To learn more, read the FTF Trophy TB Page.
To find the final location of this cache will require you to:
1.Do some math.
2.Take a bearing and find the exact location of a distant object.
3.Make a projection from that distant object
4.Intersect the projection with a circle centered on another distant object
Waypoint 1 is at an Orienteering sign in George Bush Park.
N 29 43.248 W 95 42.238
At waypoint 1, you will see a lot of numbers. These will become useful, so take note of them. Facing approximately 152 degrees (true), you will see a tall man-made object in the distance. Using whatever means you want, find the exact location of the center of this object. You can use sighting methods like that of “High Five” cache by Geowyz!, or you can actually get there with a little hike and a hop over the ditch.
To get to the final location: (Park hours 7 am to dusk)
Once you have the coordinates of the object (WPT-2), project a line at 0.3 degrees (true) to where is intersects with a circle emanating from the “Scout Fair 2003” cache (GCG15G) by the Muddy Buddies. (N 29 45.247 W 95 41.066) The circle will have a radius of X. You can get the value of X by adding all of the distance values from the object at WPT-1, and adding that to the distance from point 2 to point 3 (from the info on WPT-1) This will give you a 4-digit number. Use METERS as the distance unit, (X is in meters, no conversion needed.) Yes, we realize that the line will intersect the circle in 2 places. You’ll have to figure out which intersection is correct.
An additional prize is included for the first finder -- 2 tickets to Space Center Houston. (Claimed by MedTexPlacer)
