Geocache Description:


This Wherigo will take you to a spot where the Leslie Salt Co. used to make Salt. The land has been aquired by the Dept of Fish and Game

You will learn about the salt ponds and how they used to make salt with them. Not sure how this cart will work on Garmin Devices since it has a bunch of sound effects in it. Should work ok on Smart phones though.  

Starting Location

The End of Green Island Rd. Gate closes at sunset Nice place to Kayak or take a walk along the water

You can download the cart here:

How do I build my own Wherigo cartridge?

If you're familiar with programming logic, Czech-based Urwigo is a good program for making your own Wherigo cartridge. It uses a programming language called .lua, and it has a relatively straightforward interface. Urwigo can be found here.

If you aren't familiar with programming logic and would like something much more straightforward and user-friendly, I highly recommend Wherigo//kit by Ranger Fox. I used that program to make this Wherigo cartridge in the fraction of time it would have taken me to construct it using Urwigo or any other builder. Wherigo//kit can be found here.
