Yee Ha
SH01D4Here is another shutterspot for you to seek. Locals should have no issue recognizing this. A famous spot, good shopping, and lots of activities. It’s interesting as the statue is imported.
Anyhow, like other spots, the idea is to get yourself to the exact spot these three photographs were taken. Once there, you should be able to triangulate to the spot. Because each GPSr is unique, you are provided a 100 meter leeway. Certainly that should prove no issue if you are there.
Disguised coordinates:
39° 35.694N
75° 17.871W
In order to help encourage folks to actually visit the shutterspot instead of merely using Google, I ask for a photograph of you at the spot to be included with the find log.
While the spot is available 24/7, you may have more fun on the weekends.

You are intriguing me with this Shutterspot use of a GPSr. My friend introduced me to it, but I really couldn’t grasp it, probably because I needed to see some examples. Now that I’m seeing some examples, I’m getting the picture (pun intended).

First of all, welcome Webfoot. Webfoot is the one responsible for introducing me to geocaching.
As for shutterspots, I love the game. To me, it has turned virtual caching into something far more interesting. Instead of getting a set of coordinates to yet another plaque, monument, etc., one has to actively work to get to the location. In all the virtual caches I have done, very few provided a challenge to get to.
Some spots are easily recognizable. I think some of that is to provide a low threshold to get folks interested in playing. This spot we are commenting on is most likely recognizable to anyone who lives in this area. It is trivial to get to. Fun, but nothing stellar. Contrast that with Rock Your Gypsy Soul. Even if someone easily recognize that location (I suspect it is a small group who could without some research), getting there is more of a challenge than most geocaches I have ever completed.
Anyhow, I think it is a fabulous game. It hasn’t taken off yet, but I think it has all the makings to do so once folks here about it. Give it try, you just might like it.
