I think it comes down to, would they trust you.

There are mathematical ways of doing this. I chose to use Delorme Topo USA 7.0, and I plotted all four of the points. Then, I ran lines between them, and established the coordinates of the intersection.
If I did not have Delorme Topo USA, and I didn't mind walking about 1500 feet (the distance between the two closest points that are opposite (ie East-West or North-South...in this case E/W), I would stand at, say, the east point, and enter the west point into my GPS. I would start walking towards the west point, knowing that the lines of the N-S points HAVE to intersect the line that I'm walking on at some point.

I did try walking from points 3 and 2 and then 1 and 4 and thought I found where the X factor was but found nothing. THought maybe there was an easier way.

Ok, off the bat I will tell you I am not good with numbers and figuring these things out. So now I need help finding the X factor. It was a multi cache, 4 points which I found and now to find out where X marks the spot. Where all 4 points intersect.
Cache site 1 coords are N26 16 177 W081 41 483
Cache site 2 coords are N26 16 330 w081 41 505
Cache site 3 coords are N26 16 096 W081 41 627
Cache site 4 coords are N26 16 159 W 081 41 692
The final cache [ ammo box] is where the the coords intersect. Can anyone help me?

Frogg Toggs are the best.

I also have the Garmin etrex vista C. Bought it new about 2 years ago and just a couple weeks ago, it did the same thing with the line in the middle and shuting down. I thought maybe it was the batteries, so I just replaced them. Could someone send me the info on how to clean the connectors or do what I need to do to keep it operational.
Thx fishercz20

I will be up visiting from Florida and plan on doing some Geo-caching in Minnesota and Wisconsin the 1st week in October around the Lake Superior area. Should I be concerned with hunters at that time of year? Thanks for your help!

Thx for the info guys. I will be their until the 7th and fly out that morning. Hey! What area was it that the one fellow got MUGGed and almost capped?
-
I will be up in the Minneapolis Minnesota area the first week of October to enjoy the Fall Folage and was wondering for those of you who Geo in that area, are then any caches that are a must do, that you all could reccomend to me. The cities or an hour out would be fine. I notice there are many caches, but thought maybe you all had some favorites that you would share. Thanks for your time.

I throw in tokens, knick knaks and because I live in florida Ive found many sharks teeth off the beach shore line, so I put one each into a paper coin holder and throw that into the cache box as well.

WHat is a german style cache hide?

I have been metal detecting for over 30 years now. Have found $$$$ in coins,silver and gold while land and water detecting. But like geocaching, the peace , exercise and satisfacation I receive is priceless. In both hobbies Ive met the nicest people. The outcome of both hobbies is the same. To find and revel in the satisfacation of doing so. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!
