Geocache Description:


 

This is the first Wherigo cartridge that I have created.  I haven't even done a Wherigo cache myself (except for testing this one) so I'm not 100% sure how it all works.

 

In order for you to find the final cache, you must complete this cartridge.  Completing the cartridge requires that you visit 13 playgrounds in Ajax.  After you get to the first playground, a screen will be displayed on your GPS, telling you what park to go to next.  Some of the playgrounds have seperate caches in them already (indicated by an asterisk (*) in the list below)

I recommend that you do this cache on a bicycle - doing it by car would require a lot of unnecessary travelling.  It may actually turn out that it would take longer by car because you would not be able to take the many shortcuts and you would have to walk a lot.  The shortest route by bike is 11km.  The cartridge shouldn't take any longer than 1.5 hours to complete.  If you would like to view the quickest route that I suggest you take on a bicycle, download this Google Earth file.

After you have gone to all of the parks listed below (in order), you will be given the coordinates to the final cache.  The final cache is along the route for the next Wherigo in the series that I am planning on developing. (To The Park-i-go: Northeast Ajax).

You will need to visit the following parks IN ORDER:
