I came across this story in today's Deseret News: 'Geocaching Adventure' set May 11 at Point Does anybody have any additional information on this? It states that today is the last day for registration.

One feature that I noticed that looks very cool is: quote:Delorme: Topo USA 4.0 lets you be the mapmaker. Create automatic routes along streets or trails from metro areas to mountaintops. Add your own routable roads, trails, searchable lines, shapes, annotations, symbols, and more. This will be a nice feature. Map data is not always up to date so it will be nice to have the ability to add to the maps. I also notice that the 3D map on the front of the cover is the east part of Salt Lake City and the Wasatch Mountains.

But for myself, and other math geeks, it would make it an irresistable challange to find the actual cache. I actually have a cache that is similar to this idea that has not been placed yet. I haven't placed it yet because the terrain of the area that I want to use is still snow and mud covered. I have to wait for it to dry out. Once placed I am not expecting a whole lot of cachers to try it because of the mathematical difficulty of it. For the ones that do attempt it and find it should be a fun challange. I just wish somebody would post a cache like this for me to find. -Gromit
