Geocache Description:

You were minding your own business when you received a strange email. There was no sender, or usual information. All that was there was a set of coordinates, and an clipped message saying "Please come as soon as you are able."

Being the curious caching sort, you had no choice but to check it out.


Details:

You will need to download the wherigo cartridge to your GPS or smartphone in order to hunt for this cache. You can find the wherigo file by clicking on the related website link, or here. For more information on Wherigo Caches, check out the Wherigo website. The entire cache is in Queen's Square, and should take about half an hour. Note that, as a wherigo cache, there is a physical geocache at the end of the wherigo program.

Once you have found the cache, it would be awesome if you could take the newly created .gws file from your wherigo device (your GPS, or smartphone, etc), and upload that file here. Just click UNLOCK at the left side of the page, and upload the file. This will give me critical feedback about how people find this cache, and will allow me to make improvements to this and future wherigo caches.

Note that not all devices generate a .gws file, I've learned - but if yours does, please help me out! So, in short, if you can upload the .gws file after finding the cache, that would be awesome. If you don't, that's fine too - I just hope that you enjoyed this Wherigo Cache, which was placed for the August 2014 Groundspeak challenge.

Note: if you experience a problem / glitch with the wherigo, please send us a message letting us know so it can be fixed.
