More help with "Where's in a name" cache.

Recommended Posts

I've decided to try to log this infamous locationless. My coords work out to be

(59°43.391 to 59°43.399) or (59°44.391 to 59°44.399). For more information about this cache please check out the "Where's in a name" cache. It looks like the Northern line runs through Canada, Sweden, and Russia.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

KYtrex: Your coordinates are just south of the arctic circle... and the opportunities for caching up there are probably limited icon_cool.gif

 

I too am trying to log this "locationless" and following the system set out in the cache, my name translates into something like 33° 26.3XXX North.

 

FYI, my home coordinates are 43° 51.371 N and 79° 17.770W (just north east of Toronto). Sorry I can't help.

KYtrex,

 

As I interpret the cache directions, you can find your namesake coordinate by either lattitude or longitude.

 

Eyeballing the maps at http://aolsvc.maps.aol.com/research/main.dci

 

It looks like 59 degrees West goes through Greenland and Brazil. 59 degrees East goes through Iran (eek!), Kazakhstan (doh!), Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Russia.

 

E 59 through Russia, or W 59 through Brazil seem doable.

I worked out where mine would be and it is

 

46.10.048

 

This is just south of North Bay and I go there sometimes and will have to visit the spot if I can get near it.

 

I think I worked it right as I used the first 2 letters then the numbers 100 for 1 hundred and the next 2 letters??

 

Looking at the map it looks close to where my wife's family homesteaded and they still have land near there.

I'm at 58 26.289N, 129 59.093W. Your coord (North) is in the area I work. Might take a week or two before I'm there next, but I'll get there eventually and send you a pic. If you have a map handy, I'll be on the Cassiar Hwy (Hwy 37 North) where it intersects your coord, just south of the Yukon/British Columbia border.

I appreciate your response and I don't mind to wait at all. Don't forget, you can also log this cache also, just by taking the picture. Again, thank you, and I'll be waiting.

 

later,
