I have seen some interesting puzzles and caches. Knowing that I am not creative enough to even come close to some of the ideas I have seen. I thought I would share them with you through a new series called The Copycat Series.
Wardriving is the act of searching for Wi-Fi wireless networks by a person in a moving vehicle, using a portable computer, smartphone or tablet.
Wardriving was derived from the term wardialing from the 1983 film WarGames, which involved searching for computer systems to connect to, using software that dialed numbers sequentially to see which ones were connected to a fax machine or computer.
THE CACHE - SPECIALIZED HARDWARE REQUIRED
This is a 2 point multi-cache. The first waypoint is an 802.11 wireless access point. You do not need to actually find the access point, you just need to receive the SSID broadcast. You do not need to connect to the access point.
The posted coordinates for this cache are near a speed limit sign. Park legally and you should be able to receive a strong signal from several Wi-Fi Access Points. You will have to determine which one is of use to you. There are 2 signals set up, just in case one goes down. The relevant portion of the signals is the same.
After obtaining the final coordinates, drive to the final location.
This cache is not at all that hard to get to, but the GeoCaching specs state that a cache that requires specialized hardware, the Wi-Fi in this case, has a terrain rating of 5.
This cache is a copycat of one of my favorite multi-caches, Los Angeles Wardriving-Multi GC3237Q
