Hybrid geocache/letterbox
By Flyfisher (geoflyfisher@yahoo.com)

Here is a letterbox that requires you to visit the USAF Museum (free)
and use a GPS among the outdoor exhibits. Plan 2 hours or so to get
this one. Fair warning: I believe this one may be nearly impossible
unless you or someone with you has a GPSR.

START this fun by going to the USAF Museum. I'd suggest parking at
the small parking lot at N 39 46.974 W 84 06.508. If you have never
been to the museum, this is your chance to explore some of the
exhibits. It takes about a day to look at the displays inside. For
this geocache/letterbox, you will concentrate on the outdoors
exhibits where a GPS works.

Question A: What is the tail number (look at the tail) of the
aircraft south of N 39 47.016 W 84 06.540?
Question A answer is ____________

Question B: What is the maximum speed in knots of this beast to your
south when you are at N 39 47.128 W 84 06.392?

Question C: What is the wingspan of the aircraft nearest you when you
are at N 39 47.161 W 84 06.359?

Question D: Go to N 39 47.041 W 84 06.537. What year was this Tank
dedicated?
Question D answer ____________

Calculation: Add A +C: Answer __________
Subtract 60158
Result XXX is ___________

Calculation: Add B + D: Answer ___________
Subtract 1477
Result YYY is ____________

NEXT STEP: Go to the parking coordinates for a nearby park. (N 39
47.135 W 84 08.006) and then find the cache at N 39 47.XXX and W 84
07.YYY.

Have fun. If you use some common sense (which is not very common) you
need not leave the paths until you get within 30 feet of the cache.
Hint: When you reach the obstruction on the path, there is a forked
tree to the east. The cache is under a small locust tree (thorns)
fifteen feet further east.
