Area History
For a great history of the Campbell's Ledge area, see the Campbell's Ledge Earthcache.
Your Adventure Begins
Welcome to Campbell's Conundrum Collection! Campbell the cat has a collection of puzzles he wants you to solve, and if you solve them all, he'll tell you where he's hidden his geocache! You will start at the parking coordinates, hike north to the reservoir, then south to some interesting geological spots and finally to the cache.
You'll go on about a 2 mile hike through Campbell's Ledge area, mostly on the access road until the last couple of areas. At several stops along the way, you'll meet Campbell, who will pop up and throw puzzles and brain teasers at you. Each conundrum you solve clears the way for the next, until you reach the last one, at the cave. This should take about 45-60 minutes or so, depending on your speed at hiking and at solving riddles.
Campbell recommends you bring a notepad and pencil and a calculator to help you solve some of these puzzles. Of course, it's up to you!
Wherigo Information
This is a Wherigo game. You will need a Wherigo player, which are available for Android, iPhone, PocketPC, Garmin Oregon and Colorado devices, and several other platforms.
A Wherigo-capable device is the only special equipment you will need. Most of the game follows an access road, though toward the end you will need to go off-road and into the thicket.
Release Notes: Current version is 1.0. Below is a compatibility chart (based on current tests.) If you play the Wherigo with another device, please include how it worked on that device in your log and I will update the chart. If you get stuck, first try saving your progress and reload the Wherigo cartridge. The cartridge will also autosave each time you enter a new zone, just in case you forget.

Read the instructions and information carefully and you should be able to figure out what to do next from there.
Please contact me with an issues, bug reports, logical flaws in the game, spelling/grammar errors, etc. to help improve the game for future players.
