George Bush Park has quite a few pipelines running through in a
multitude of directions. Often we've wondered who owns the
pipelines and other oil and gas equipment within the park.
The coordinates above take you to one of our favorite entry
points into the park. Here you will also find a small sign that
shows who owns the pipeline and acreage rights for a section of the
park. To find the final stage of this multicache you must do the
following:
1. Looking at the sign, there are two numbers on the bottom
line. The first is an RRC number in the form xxxxxx. Putting the
number into the form xxxx.xx, and rounding to the nearest whole
number, you have found the degrees for the final cache
projection.
2. Looking at the second number in the last line, it is the
acreage that the company has the rights to for the easement or
pipeline (I guess). Rounding up to the nearest acre, multiply the
number by 5.5 and you will have the feet for the projection.
With the degrees and feet for the projection in hand, it is a
short and not too difficult walk to the final cache location.
There's a little bit of slop in the numbers and projection but the
basic cache location should be straightforward to find.
Have fun and good luck!
