The Experience:

This Wherigo is based on the "Are You Geocacher Enough?" Events held in Northern Michigan. This cartridge is play anywhere, however in order to log a find, you must find the actual container and sign the logbook. This wherigo is designed whether you are a "Rookie" or a  "Roadie" (aka AYGE veteran).  So get out there and prove whether or not you are Geocacher Enough.

Once you complete the cartridge, you will be given the coordinates to the final location of this geocache. Once successful finding the container, you will be able to log this Wherigo geocache.

If you have trouble accessing your "License" after playing on your Whergio Player, save your game, then restart the Wherigo player, then resume "Saved Game" and it should show up correctly.
(I discovered this issue while beta testing on an Oregon 450. It did not happen while beta testing on a Colorado 300 or Android Smartphone).

Is logging my result any different for this cache?
Logging your results here on geocaching.com is no different than any other cache so no changes there. However, you get a new icon on your profile page.
Unlocking the cartridge on Wherigo.com is not required, but it would be greatly appreciated. After you've completed the cartridge you should see a "AYGE.gws" file on your device. On your Garmin Colorado or Oregon  you will find it in the Wherigo/Saves directory.Upload that file to the Wherigo website. You may also review the cartridge by  choosing Write a Log.

Logging requirements:
Once you successfully complete the cartridge and find the geocache, write a log entailing your adventures by revisiting the cache page.
