Geocache Description:

Russellville's FIRST Wherigo cache !!!


This cache will take you on a walking tour of downtown Russellville, Arkansas, leading you to various points of interest and providing some history about the town. To take this tour, you will first need to download the Wherigo cartridge Downtown Russellville Tour onto your smartphone or Wherigo enabled GPSR.

The tour should take about an hour, and you will walk about a mile on level terrain (city sidewalks). You will need to cross Main Street twice, so please cross at the intersections with stop lights and watch out for the traffic on this busy street. The other streets are less busy, but still be watchful when you cross them, as Russellville is not exactly pedestrian friendly!

The tour will lead you to 11 different zones before taking you to the final zone where the cache is hidden. In each zone, you will be provided some information about that location and then asked to correctly answer a question before you are allowed to proceed. The questions are simple and the answers are readily available from information visible within or near each zone. Also, within some of the zones, the tour will let you know if there is a benchmark nearby, if you are interested in that sort of thing.

The cache itself is a magnetic keyholder. A hint will be provided to you once you enter the zone around the cache. You will also receive a code you can use to log this cartridge as “complete” on the Wherigo website.

I hope you enjoy this Wherigo tour! It has been tested on an iPhone before publishing and appears to work fine. However, sometimes while playing you may run into a glitch that says "Inside Zone" but doesn't give you an action or any information. If this happens, try going outside the zone and coming back in, or quitting and then resuming the cartridge. I've had this happen before on this and other Wherigo's and both of these actions work to clear up the problem.

I wish to recognize and thank Guwisti for her inspiration, help, and advice in getting this Wherigo cache developed! THANK YOU!

Note about unlock code: If the unlock code you are given at the end of your playing of this Wherigo cartridge has more than 15 digits, then discard anything after the 15th digit and enter only the first 15 digits as the unlock code. This appears to be the solution to the unlock code problem, as discussed in the Groundspeak Fourms section on Wherigo. Let me know if this still does not work.
