Geocache Description:

This is our first cache of this type, and it seems also the first Wherigo cache in the state of South Carolina.


The cache is NOT at the above coordinates.

In order to complete this cache you must have a Wherigo capable device. This is either a Garmin Colorado, or a Pocket PC device. More information can be found at www.wherigo.com

Since this is a new type of cache requiring special equipment, please consider teaming up and making it a group effort so that more people can have a chance to try out this new type of geocaching!

The cache is a cross between the puzzle and multi cache types, except there is only one physical cache, the final state. This cache is a murder mystery cache, so there are some situations which might be sensitive to very young children. However nothing is gory, offensive, etc. If you have any questions about the plot before you begin to play, just ask us.

Some elements of this cache must be completed during the day. You should be able to work on this over multiple days as long as you can save your progress.

This cache will require quite a bit of driving, about 60 miles total. There are over 10 stops to be made, and they are all around the city of Columbia. The estimated time for completion is 5-8 hours, though it could be completed in as little as 4 hours.

For the FTF there are a few prizes including: an unactivated FTF Geocoin, an unactivated Travelbug, and a new micro geocache complete with log. Of course the cache also has other goodies for future geocachers. The cache is a medium size Lock & Lock container, which should be an easy find after completing the cartridge.

Should you have any questions about how this all works please feel free to contact us. If you have any problems with the Wherigo Cartridge just let us know and we will get it updated ASAP.

Since updates to the cartridge might be made at any time, feel free to download the cartridge now to look at it, but before you actually go out on the search, please check to make sure that you have the latest version and download the cartridge again if needed.

The cartridge needed to find this cache can be downloaded here.

 

Congratulations to tands on the FTF!
