This WheriGo is a 'FOLLOW' the Grand River Adventure, by Water or Land; with a cache log to sign at the end. It starts at Kaufman Flats in Waterloo (P1) and Ends Near Freeport (P2). The CACHE is NOT at the Posted Bogus Coordinates; but the WheriGo will lead you to it.
Have a delightful experience, drifting down this 24km section of the Grand River (~5.3hrs) while letting your WheriGo enabled device find the 5 required 'crossing' ZONES, in the background. If you're really ambitious, load up the many existing riverside and island caches to expand your caching adventure. Remember that the WheriGo's 'Save' and 'Resume' will allow you to temporarily switch to other applications, for these side trips; and/or to break up your adventure over several visits.
The definition of 'crossing', for the purpose of this WheriGo, includes anything that crosses; used to cross; or was planned to have crossed 'The Grand'. This makes zone collection by 'floating down the Grand River' ideal.
The 'river adventure' Start and End Points are identified by posted Parking Coordinates. And, once the required zones are registered in the WheriGo, it will provide the coordinates of the Final Cache.
While the WheriGo MUST START at the defined 'Upstream' location; finding the required Zones can be done in any order; and they will appear in the INVENTORY section of the WheriGo, as they are found.
Alternative LAND Access (~23km, in a touch over 1hr):
====================================================
You can spend time on Google Earth attempting to guess which 'crossing's this WheriGo uses, for its Zone Triggers. Then you can head out to capture them by car, bike or on foot (location dependent). While making this WheriGo 'Winter Friendly'and access to a floating vessel optional; this method is quite a different challenge. You will be finding zones 'blind'; and you must 'enter and exit' the zones, for the trigger to occur. If a nearby roadway or footpath doesn't pass under or over the required object; the zone extends to the closest nearby pathway, from its water location.
