Geocache Description:


This cache is at the posted coords. It is a 1/1.5 after completing requirements and is my standard container.

WHERIGO is "a toolset for creating and playing GPS-enabled adventures in the real world. Use GPS technology to guide you to physical locations and interact with virtual objects and characters."

KEY WORDS =

[1] ADVENTURES; [2] REAL WORLD; and [3] GPS TECHNOLOGY

This has truly been a fantastic adventure for me and with all the changes/improvements over the years in technology, Wherigo is available to most (if not all) using a cellphone and/or certain GPS devices. If you have neither of these, FAF (find a friend). I have found two geocachers, besides myself, that have completed this challenge already in North Carolina. There are probably more.

You can also find my bookmark list of all active Wherigo caches in North Carolina, as of January 27, 2024 by clicking HERE. If you publish one or see any that I do not have on this list that are located in North Carolina, please let me know.
