9582 2021-01-16 12:45 lpaulriddle (user activity12) - Note

I headed out on a long-ish (for me) bike ride this morning, and grabbed a couple of caches along the way. This cache has been on my "to-do" list since the first time I rode out this way, which was probably late summer or early fall. Today, I stopped by the first stage and gathered all of the necessary info. As usual, I was short on time, so I waited until I got home to make the calculations for the final. I'll swing by soon and see if I can find the cache. I think I have a pretty good shot at scoring STF 4 years and 9 months after the FTF. :)

Note - The parking coordinates that I calculated were 4.5 miles away in the middle of Patuxent Research Refuge, which is obviously wrong. I noticed that if I used E*2 instead of E, I got coordinates that made much more sense. So, either there is an error in the formula, or I wrote down the wrong value for E. When I revisit, I'll double check my numbers again and report back.
