Subject: re: Kenora area

Message:

I guess that I'm still not being clear. I am not looking to get my hands on a GPS. I already own one. Kenora is about 1170 km west of me.

What I am looking for someone to help me complete a cache from the GeoCache site http://www.geocaching.com . The name is "Where's in a name". The details can be found at http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?pf=&ID=12627 . The object is to take your handle and convert it to a numerical value using a telephone key pad. So my handle converts to

whiteowl
94483695

This number is then made into a co-ordinate: 94 degrees 48.3695 minutes using map datum WGS84. This can be North, South, East or West. (Since 94 degrees North or South seems to be on a different planet, that leaves me with East or West.)

Second step: A second user goes to this co-ordinate and takes a picture of his/her GPS showing this co-ordinate on his unit.

W94:48.369 is about 20 km Kenora, Ont. so I am looking for someone who lives in the area or may be traveling through there who could take a minute to pull over at that location and snap a few shots for me.

Sorry for being so long winded but the request with out any explaination seemed to be too confusing.
