Geocache Description:

This cache is not at the above location
But it's a great place to park and the start of the Wherigo Cartridge.
This cartridge can not be played on an emulator.

To find this cache, you will need to find your way through an invisible maze using
The Maryland Minotaur's Maze Wherigo Cartridge.

Find your way through, and the defeated Minotaur will reveal the cache location.

This Wherigo Cache is located entirely within Kinder Farm Park, and is placed with permission. The Maze completely covers two entire fields of the several located at the Harvey Garcelon Sports Complex. There is no park fee for visiting this section of the park, and it is open from 7:00 a.m. to dusk but is closed on Tuesdays, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. The sports portion of the park is often open outside of normal park days and hours though so don't be afraid to check.

Sports activities take priority, so if there is a game or other scheduled activity on these particular fields, you'll need to wait it out. Coordinates for the fields are listed as a waypoint so that you can be sure they are available before you begin the cartridge.

The maze is a 9x9 matrix of approximately 50' square cells. The NW cell is labeled 11 and the SE cell is labeled 99. I suggest printing out the blank grid and mapping the maze while you work your way through it. Once you enter the maze, the only way out is to successfully find the exit.

When you first enter the maze, you will be in cell 99. It's graphic, shown to the right, will be displayed. From cell 99, you can travel North to cell 89 or West to cell 98. You cannot exit the maze to the East, where you entered, nor can you go South. The Eastern wall of cell 99 is dashed since it is a door into the maze, but not an exit. To exit the maze, look for the cell that has a green door and travel through it. As you enter a cell, its graphic will be displayed. Only the cell you are in and cells that you can travel to will be displayed, so for example, from cell 99, cells 89, 98, and 99 will be available. After you exit the maze, you will be able to travel to the cache. When you are near the cache, the cartridge will place the geocache in your inventory. Open the geocache in your inventory to enter the code number you find inside the real cache container. The cartridge will be marked complete and saved after entering the correct code. Please be sure to unlock and log playing the cartridge on Wherigo.com

Special thanks to my brother Corfman Clan for giving me a head start with the wherigo cartridge and letting me adapt his original concept.
