This is Iowa's 1st & only Wherigo cache listed on GC.com.  This was a great cartridge to play. It was not a simple Wherigo, where you walk into 1 zone & answer a simple question, and then it tells you where the final cache is. 

This cartridge told you about some of the history of the 1968 Ohio State Football team, while you preceded from zone to zone answering questions. Only after completing all of the tasks, will it direct you to the final. Even though I had some problems with the game running on my PDA, I finally was able to get the game to run all the way thru.

This one well, has lot's of story's about how people have made the venture to Abby's Island.  Some have had to make plans mid-stream (pardon the pun).

A really out of the way place and a cache that is almost always noted as "this has been on my to-do list forever" or used for a "milestone" cache.

A great river adventure!!!

Abby's Treasure Island

Nominated for IGO's 2009 June Cache of the Month

Start's off with a nice walk along the prairie, and eventually getting to some wood's that your lucky to find an animal trail on.  From ground zero you have a good view of the river below, and the cache is tucked away in a perfect geobeacon.  This spot was found at night and place then as well. Not the smartest idea's.
