Geocache Description:

This geocache is NOT at the posted coordinates, but you can park there or the nearby trail head. Get your GPS-equipped smart phone (fully charged) and experience a different kind of geocaching adventure! This is an interactive geocache that will take you on a tour of some of my favorite places in Colorado. This is Colorado's FIRST InterCache!



I hope you have fun with this! It took many hours on the computer and in the field to create this cache. STAY ON THE TRAIL! Don't be tempted to bee-line into the revegetation areas, STAY ON THE TRAIL! No reason to exit it. Wheelchair accessible all the way up to the final. It is a "LARGE" container. You will be able to discover three of my Colorado coins while doing this cache. Two codes built into the tour and one on the lid in the final, enjoy!

IMPORTANT: Read before proceeding...

What is an InterCache?
An InterCache is an interactive geocache. An intercache is a new way of creating a mystery geocache, where you can string together a combination of virtual and physical waypoints together. The entire geocache can be developed, edited, and played on your mobile phone's browser with no software required to download! Part virtual cache, part multicache, part puzzle cache, and part adventure.

How do you play?

First, make sure you have a compatible device. Go to intercaching.com on your smart phone and select the test button (do this outside for best results). If you are using a modern smart phone, it should be! Most Android and iPhone devices should work if you have location services turned on. You might not have a compatible phone... if not, you can make this a team effort with someone who does.

Let's Play!

If your device is compatible, then head on over to the parking coordinates and open MY INTERCACHE PAGE on your phone to start. At each of the stages you will see some places in Colorado I think are worth sharing with you. This will be a guided tour of Colorado! At each of the stages you will be asked a question. You must answer it correctly and be within 16 feet of the destination in order to move on. There will be a distance and compass on the bottom of each destination screen.

Notes:

~ This is a new way of looking for a geocache so you may encounter some problems. The beta tests were successful but there was a time that we had to refresh the browser.
Hopefully that won't lose your place; it didn't for us.
~ Make sure you have adequate battery. I lost about 15% to 20% when testing.
You will probably lose less just playing, I was also editing.
~ I recommend that you do NOT close the active InterCache browser window
during play or you may have to start over.

I would appreciate hearing constructive comments on your experience. This is Colorado's first and also my first. As always, thanks for playing, I hope you enjoyed the tour and the cache.

Special thanks to ChileHead for creating InterCaching!
First to Find goes to TheBergstromClan!
