This section of the river is loaded with all sorts of cool Florida
wildlife including, of course, Mr. & Mrs. Gator and all the
little baby gators. If you don't bother them, they won't bother
you. So just exercise common-sense caution...and be sure to tell
them that we said "Hi!"! :-D
The necessary Wherigo cartridge will not come with a download of
this cache - you must visit
http://www.wherigo.com to download it.
The cartridge is designed such that you cannot complete the game
from emulator play. The game is designed where you must input info
into a text box or answer a multiple choice question in order to
see the next screen or "zone". If you aren't actually at that
place, you won't have that information. Good mapping and research
might allow you to discover the necessary information from home.
If you don't have a device that will play a Wherigo cartridge,
here are a couple of options. 1) Play on the emulator as far as you
can - generate some coords for the spot (mapping is your friend) go
get the info (or perhaps research for it), then go home and
continue the game; or from the location, call a friend at a PC with
the emulator and cartridge with the info to continue the game -
you'll get the next screen.
Some notes on how this Wherigo Geocache cartridge works. The
cartridge has 10 zones plus the final location (akin to 11 stages
in a multi-cache). The first zone, Entry Zone, will be active and
visible from anywhere. The next zone will become visible and active
when you're in the Entry Zone. "Active" means that your device is
calculating a bearing and distance from your current location;
"visible" means it shows on your map screen. You'll see it on your
locations screen when it is active. If you select it, it will show
like a waypoint "go to" - with distance and direction arrow. Once
you arrive in a zone, there may be a question to answer before the
next zone becomes active and visible. Again, you have to select it
from the locations screen to become your next "go to". Zones become
inactive as you exit them, to save CPU power; too many "active"
zones slows the Pocket PC or Garmin as they calculate distances and
bearings to each active location. The geocache location becomes
active and visible only after you've correctly entered some data.
Coordinates are provided for the geocache. Zones are approx 100' by
100' in this cartridge and are this large to allow for error due to
tree cover. Specific information is given for each zone to allow
you to complete any question. Once you've entered the cache zone
(and completed the Wherigo game) you might need to exit Wherigo and
use your GPS, having loaded it with the coordinates provided. The
back button will not scroll you back through screens! it takes you
back to the main screen, a listing of available locations, tasks
etc. If you want to retain data (coords, completion code) you
should write it down.
