This puzzle cache was set for the
Oxnard Open: Puzzles and
Pleasure event on Tuesday, October October 9, 2007
at the Pirates and Grog, GC167QP. If you are attending this event,
be sure to pick up a card for "Pirate's Hold Em".
Anyone can find this cache. Please leave the playing cards in
the cache for those attending the event or you will be summoned to
walk the plank. Thanks Matey!
THE LISTED COORDINATES
WILL NOT LEAD YOU TO THE CACHE.
They are for a location in Petit
Park which is also located within two miles of Ground
Zero for OXNARD, CA
Premium Membership in Geocaching.com offers many benefits. These
include pocket queries and notifications of cache publication or
changes for a user specified area. These inquiries include the
distances to the caches. In order to calculate these distances,
Geocaching.com has established baseline coordinates in each
city/town from which to make these measurements. You will need to
determine the baseline coordinates for the area of OXNARD
where the zipcode has three matching digits.
Thanks to Team Spoonhead for creating the original Ground Zero
(GCJ3QV). You may find reviewing this cache or my other Ground Zero
cache "Ground Zero IV" (GCM2PD) helpful.
Once you locate the coordinates for Ground Zero, you must
project a waypoint for the cache. You will find the cache if you
walk 239.054 yards for 183.628 degrees true. Remember to adjust
your compass for declination.
It is possible to determine the final coordinates without
leaving your computer or desk with pencil and paper. Consider
downloading Geocalc.exe from the Internet. It
will prove to be an invaluable tool. Initial cache contents
include a pair of alkaline AA batteries, a Caching Place
Geo-pin, a Sacagawea, pencil and logsheet.
Congratulations to MaxGold
on the FTF !!
