Topic: Seismic Monitor

[Ken]

Tried to find my first cache Friday!

I didn't find it, so I knew that me gotta do more research to better understand how to look for a cache.
However... one of the people who had previously found the cache and found a camera in the items of the cache was kind enough to develop and post the pictures and a couple of them gave me some tremendous clues!

If you look carefully in the background there is a church that is only a few hundred feet behind that guy and on his right is a tree line. I already knew where that location is because on his left is an open field and you can see across it from the main street of King to where the tree line is (about 1000 feet)... and I know the church of course.
So... my first search was only 600-1000 feet short, but it could not be accessed from the direction I was coming from; this next time (this morning) I'll go through the open field.   :innocent:


Fast forward to today and I tried again:
Found the seismic monitor, but not the cache.  

In his description the cache owner said, "When you arrive at this location, you will understand just what you need to do."
The only clue that I could find was a small emblem for the Army Reserve that was glued to the top of the monitor box and because the emblem has a chevron in its background I thought that the point of the chevron might be indicating the direction that I should be looking.

Well I looked for about an hour, traveling out several hundred yards and found lots of stuff, but no cache.   :thud:
