Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the above coordinates! To find the correct coordinates, you will have to do your homework first.

Google Maps Satellite Images can be enlightening. I will take you to some interesting areas that have been spotted.


The correct coordinates are:

N 42° AB.CDE W 092° FG.HIJ

Use Google Maps and enter the coordinates below in the Google Maps Search box and click enter. Sometimes you will have to zoom out to see the item, sometimes you will have to zoom in to find the number of items in the description. I found that sometimes I had to enlarge the map view first before it would zoom in appropriately on the satellite image. You could also do this search on Bing maps, or other maps that have a satellite view.
