Geocache Description:


THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES.
YOU WILL NEED A WHERIGO PLAYER TO SEEK THIS CACHE..

 

 

Another element hide to help people qualify for Boreal Walker's Periodic Table of Elements Challenge without having to drive halfway across the planet.

Two traditional park 'n grab caches were about all I could hide without feeling guilty, so this time I went the Wherigo route. However, don't for a second think this is a *good* Wherigo. It's not. It's kind of like the McDonald's of Wherigos. Fast, not that tasty, but gets a smiley nonetheless. At most, this should take ten miutes to do, and that's only if you have a long caching name like "seeingitdifferent," or "buscadores de tesoradorecuandotieneochodelosgatos," which takes forever to write. For someone like "JJnTJ," I'm guessing it'll be more like four minutes. As a bonus, this cache will get you Element #119 off your checklist of elements for Boreal Walker's challenge. Here's a bit more info on Wherigoium...


Wherigoium (a shortening of the original Wheredidigonowium) is a rare and skittish element, and the least understood element on the planet. To date, scientists have only found fragments of it in the snot of pregnant moon ameobas. It's so rare that even accomplished scientists deny its existence. Its time-warping characteristics mean that the original scientists who discovered it no longer remember the event, so no one knows how it got named. One day it just showed up on the Table of Elements in Wikipedia, and that was that.


Additionally, this cache is part of the Cache vs. Winter series of easy winter hides designed to help people keep streaks alive over the long snowy Minnesota winter. Easy find, near parking, and most definitely winter friendly. Enjoy the quickie!

This is a Wherigo cache. You can download the file for it right here. You'll need a GPS or smart phone capable of running Wherigo carts, or find someone who has such a GPS. More information on Wherigo caches can be found here.


As always, use caution when caching and stay within your comfort zone. Be careful, and have fun!
