Geocache Description:

You are looking for a camouflaged bison tube, hidden in downtown Bloomington. To find it, you'll need to download the Wherigo cartridge to your device and head to the courthouse square. If you are good at following the directions you will walk 1 mile and it will take around 30 minutes.

This Wherigo will lead you around downtown Bloomington using Letterbox style clues instead of your standard "follow the arrow" type cache. Contrary to popular belief, a Letterbox is not just a regular cache that includes a stamp and an ink pad, it is a cache that leads the finder to the final area using clues instead of coordinates. These clues can be anything. Most of the time they will lead you to the cache with clues like, "Go down the trail until you see a big rock, put your back against the rock and walk 15 paces to the north to the big stump." Sometimes the clues will just be pictograms. In this case, the clues are delivered using a Wherigo cartridge.

The Wherigo cartridge will pop up clues, that if you follow correctly (don't worry it's not hard) will lead you around the town. You will know you followed the directions correctly when the next set of instructions pop up. If you get turned around, tap the task button and the clue will be repeated.

I beta tested the cartridge with my Samsung Galaxy Note II, which is about the size of three iPhones, (seriously) and it played flawlessly. I did notice however, while watching others do the Wherigo on devices with smaller screens, that they were not always seeing all of the instructions at some steps. So be sure to try to scroll down the screen if you feel like you have missed something.
