NOTICE: Re the “WHERE WILL YOU BE?” contests! In early December (2004), The Team will begin it’s Canadian Series of adventures! (This will surely prove to be a religious experience…?!) Find your ‘operatives’ in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and South Western Manitoba, while there’s still time!

The Team, freshly inspired by the exciting news of a forthcoming ‘Team Phoenix CD’ (reportedly to be that team’s favorite Rap/Hip Hop tunes?) have decided to release Contest #5 in the ongoing “WHERE WILL YOU BE” series….

Here it is!

1) Go to 10U 370251 E / 5473967 N Sight at 340 deg. to a white building at the base of a microwave tower. How far is it to this building? ______ (The building is 663 meters lower than where you sight from; this translates into a 7deg. downward slope angle).

2) Here’s a tough one….On a road to Heppner, Oregon, determine the exact UTM of a woman with an initial “E”. Her husband’s initials are “F.A.” Take your UTM reading immediately above her headstone. Now go to a cemetery near Gerlach, Nevada. Visit this cemetery and seek out the name with initials “S.A.” (RD 3 is associated with this name). Determine the UTM of this headstone. How many meters is it between these two headstones? _____

3) There’s a sign in Nevada, the top line of this sign reads “Garrison-Black” – the second line has the words “Rock Road 13” on it. We’ve placed a blank orange tag on the back of this sign as a reference. Determine the UTM of this sign.

In Moab, Utah, there’s a famous Jeep trail called “Steelbender”. Go to it’s Northern end. There you will find a steel sign, (with another yellow sign below it). Determine the UTM of this sign.

What is the distance in meters between these two positions? ________

4) There’s a buried bottle with a note in it at 12S 629548 East and 4248350 North. On the note is written a number. What is that number? ______

5) We’ve buried a steel bar at 12S 552299 East and 4216807 North.

a) What is the number on this bar? ______

b) Go to 10U 339407 East/5550336 North. There’s a GPS tag there; what is the number? ______

c) From this position, sight at 368 degrees. How far is it to the chimney of a house with a green roof? ______

Now, total all these numbers, and call them meters. DIVIDE this number by 4.63. ADD this number to(Zone 12S) 288338, and you’ll get a correct Easting. ADD this number to (Zone 12S) 4046700, and you’ll get a correct Northing.

You’ll now be at a very old sign. Put a photo of the sign on vigps.com, and notify The Team what this old sign says.

Again, $500.00 for the first individual/team to win.

Contest ends May 31st, 2005 at 6:00 PM, PDT

You are responsible for your own safety & well being.

This is #1 in a new series of contests which The Team will be releasing – we thought we’d better get MORE action going as many geocachers are falling asleep from boredom, and too few new caches are being listed on Geocaching.com…..Photos are required at all clue locations and posted on vigps.com. You/operatives are responsible for your own safety and well being.

So here we go! This series of mini contests will feature ONE WINNER ONLY. The winner will be the first person/team to come up with the correct answer. $500.00 Cdn. will be paid to the winner of each contest. Operatives can be used if needed.

This series of contests will take place in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and in several Western U.S. States.

You won’t need super accuracies to get to the final position, as it won’t be buried, or difficult to find.

Photos of the winning position should be put on vigps.com – if you so desire, photos of other positions are allowed.
