How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

This is a three stage multi but because of the specifics of how this has been hidden it has to be listed as an Unknown Cache.


This cache will require you to use three different pieces of signaling technology. GPS, Wifi, and Chirp. If you, or someone you are caching with, does not have a Chirp compatible device, you will not be able to complete this cache.

The coordinates listed above will take you to a location where you should be able to use a Chirp compatible device to detect a Chirp signal, and obtain the coordinates to the second point. If your Chirp enabled device is working correctly, it should automatically download the waypoint to your device.

The second set of coordinates will lead you to a residential street where you will need to use any device capable of detecting a Wifi signal. This includes a laptop, cell phone with Wifi capability, or any other Wifi detector. You will need to obtain the SSID (Wifi hotspot name) to obtain the final set of coordinates. Be aware that there are many hotspots in that area so be sure to look for the one that resembles a set of GPS coordinates.

The final set will lead you to the physical cache which has been hidden in Riverview. It is a 50cal ammo can and should be easy to find. The final location is NOT winter friendly but the first two are.

Both the first and second stages are in a residential area so please use stealth. You should not need to get out of your car to pick up the necessary signals.

Now the tech & disclaimer stuff


  • This cache uses a Garmin Chirp. Please make sure you have a chirp compatible GPS and that the firmware has been updated to the most recent version to allow you to receive the chirp signals. You can check here and here for more information.
  • The wifi part of the cache requires you to only find the name of the hotspot. You do not need to connect to it, and any connections won't matter anyway since the hotspot is not connected to the internet or any other network. It is just a broadcaster.
