Is logging my result any different for this
cache?
Logging your results here on geocaching.com is no different than
any other cache (and you get a new icon on your profile page so no
changes
there).
Unlocking the cartridge on Whereigo.com is not required, but it
would be greatly appreciated. After you've completed the cartridge
you should see a "Wisconsin is Wherigo.gws" file on your device. On
your Garmin Colorado or Oregon, you will find it in the
Wherigo/Saves directory. You can upload this file to Wherigo.com
and it will "Unlock" it, giving you full credit for completing the
cartridge (on the Wherigo site too). It will also help track the
number of completions for this cartridge. Again not required, but I
would really appreciate it if you did. You may also complete the
cartridge by visiting the cartridge page and Write a
Log.
Hints for this Cache:
This is a very simple cartridge. A nice walk around a park. The
container is a small lock n lock hidden in a nearby location. The
final will however take you to a cache with a logbook. Log your
find and claim your smilie!
