Looking for cacher close to 23° 27.47

Post by Where's in a name » 26 November 05 1:50 pm

Hi there!

I am a fellow geocacher from British Columbia, Canada, and I am trying to complete a locationless cache called "What's in a name?". For this cache I have to

1) convert my geocaching name to numbers to find a coordinate;
2) find the cities that cross over that coordinate line;
3) contact another geocacher to take a picture of that coordinate, w/ their GPSr in hand.

If anyone is interested in taking a picture for me at 23° 27.47, anywhere in Austrailia, please let me know! I've done a brief search and it seems like this line runs through Alice Springs.

WE BOTH CAN LOG THIS AS A FIND on geocaching.com as well.

Thanks & Happy Caching

Well that coordinate is just down the road from me. I've done this cache about 7 times now so I'll let someone else have a go. But if you have no luck then drop me a line and I'll do it.

I'm quite close....round about 320km/200 mile away :twisted: I would normally jump at the chance , though my pregnant wife is 5 days overdue :shock: and this may get in the way of a trip to log this cache and get a FTF cache close to Dooghan's area :shock: :wink:

::Update::

Well unfortunately i will not be able to get there soon as:

a) my wife just found our son yesterday :lol: , 10 days late :roll:
b) we have an appointment with a pediatric specialist in Townsville (350km North) next week :cry:
c) more Townsville caches beckon :twisted:

Good luck finding someone to help you, Guest....

Hey guest are you still requiring help with the cache?

We will be travelling through your co-ords on Dec 28th if you still need some photos. Only desert this side of the country though - :lol:
