Virtual "Where's In a Name" cache...help please

Post by BooBooBee » 24 August 04 8:34 pm

This cache intrigues me. What a fantastic opportunity for a geography lesson.
I'm working on GC3153 Locationless "Where's in a Name" cache. Check it out!
My username translates to 26-62.66

Using 26deg 62.66 I come up with a long list of countries, including (Lat N) Mexico, Florida, China, India, a band across North Africa; (Long W) Greenland and Antarctica off the Weddel Sea; (Long E) Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Egypt, Sudan, COngo, Zambia, Botswana, S. Africa; (Lat S) Puraguay, Argentina, Chile, Western Australia.

Can you help me complete this cache? We both get credit. :)

26°62.66'' ....

Wouldn't that make it 27°02.66'' ?? Since you can't have more than 59 minutes. :)

Anyway, that's a fair whack away from any cachers in Western Australia on the Southing, runs right along the NT and SA border, BUT is VERY close to Brisbane, Queensland,
