I was sitting at my desk at work running some test scenarios on the system and was staring at the results. The more I looked at the results, the more I saw coordinates pop out at me, which means it is time to place another geocache. After reading off a set of coordinates, I checked on Google Earth and the coordinates were on private property. I was a little disappointed because I knew I would not get permission to put a cache right in the middle of someone’s backyard. But then I started seeing many sets of coordinates appear, so I began to write them all down. One by one, I checked the coordinates, but none seemed doable. I thought about possibly changing, or adjusting the mods I was running so that good coordinates would appear, but then I found a good set of coordinates to place a cache, so no further test execution was needed.
Here were the results of the test:
