Two for one? GC47KFN 1 Mile, 4 Islands, 6 Bridges : If you print out the directions, you can easily find the waypoints (without a Gps) and complete that multi-cache along the way.
Wherigo Eccentricities:
If you would happen to miss any information within a Zone or have trouble "finding" it: Exit the Zone and then re-enter it. Be patient and wait for your GPS to "catch up" with your location.
iOS users: hitting the home button (during play) will cause sounds to stop playing. To re-enable sounds: Quit cartridge (which saves it) and then Resume playing (where you left off).
Android users: If the Cartridge does not appear in the WhereYouGo App: Go to My Files> Downloads> Checkmark the File> Tap Options (3 dots)> Select Move> Find the WhereYouGo Folder> Select Move To.
Overview:
To access Lakeside Park, simply drive North on either Main Street (Hwy 45) or Park Avenue.
The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. You will need to bring along pen and paper.
You must find the physical container and sign the logbook to get credit for this geocache. Also, please do NOT post spoilers in your online log(s).
Once you successfully complete the Cartridge - it will give you a Completion Code. Please email me that Code.
All content and terrain are kid friendly, yet children will require some adult help.
This Wherigo could be completed in winter if there is less than 2 feet of snow and not a thick layer of ice. Only 'Plankton' may be affected by snow- but if you're clever it would not impact finishing the cache.
Spongebob Pirate Treasure Geocache takes you on a realistic hunt for hidden treasure!
My first Wherigo is a simple tour guide crossed with a field puzzle.
Difficulty ratings- Cartridge: 1.5 / Geocache hide: 2 / Puzzle: 3
Terrain ratings- Travel: 1 / Waypoints: 1.5 / Distance: 3
Summary:
Drinking water and restrooms are available at several places along the route.
Travelling from zone to zone is on paved paths and waypoints are on well-maintained grass.
This Wherigo takes you on a tour of beautiful Lakeside Park and is best suited for bicycles. You can easily bike the entire route (Final included); Or walk/ bike a 3 mile loop through the park and then drive to the Final. If you choose to drive the whole route, be aware that one section requires a decent amount of walking (total of 1/2 mile for all zones).
Lakeside Park, 400+ acres, lies at the foot of Lake Winnebago (which is what Fond du Lac means): one of the largest natural freshwater lakes in the world. There is plenty to do here year round: walking, biking, observation tower, playgrounds, fishing, boating, flower and bird viewing, snowshoeing, baseball, soccer, volleyball, fitness stations, shelters for picnics and get-togethers, petting zoo, canoe/ bike rental, carousel and mini train rides, firework and Christmas light displays, Walleye Weekend, and Art on the Island.
Wherigo information:
It is highly recommended to use a Pocket PC, Smartphone, or Tablet to play this Cartridge. The integrated custom sounds greatly enhance the player experience!
This is a special type of geocache called a Wherigo, a GPS-enabled application that allows you to play interactive games, tours and other experiences in the real world. You need to download the cartridge, and it requires a compatible device (Garmin Oregon/ Colorado or a GPS-enabled: Pocket PC/ Smartphone/ Tablet) to play. Will it work on my regular GPS? No, sorry. Try to make friends with someone who has a compatible device.
Can I use my Smartphone or Tablet? Yes! if it's GPS enabled. Both iOS and Android can play Wherigo cartridges with an appropriate App. The iOS app is called WhereIGo and the Android app is WhereYouGo.
Can I use my Wifi-only device? Yes! if it's GPS enabled, pre-loaded, and you avoid using online maps. Wherigo cartridges do not require data usage while playing in the field (except online maps). You can play a Wherigo with a Wifi-only device if:
1. An appropriate App is previously downloaded
2. The cartridge is previously downloaded
3. Use the App "compass"or "arrow and distance" (or offline map) to navigate.
To download the Cartridge: Click the Related Web Page link above. Or go to www.wherigo.com/cartridge/, then type zipcode 54935 into the search box, next scroll to find Spongebob Pirate Treasure Wherigo, and finally download the appropriate format for your device (for smartphones/tablets use Pocket PC format).
How do I log this cache? The goal of this Wherigo is the same as any geocache: to sign the logbook in the physical cache. Logging your results on geocaching.com is the same as any other cache. Also, on wherigo.com you can write a log and review for this cartridge.
Once you successfully complete the Cartridge - it will give you a Completion Code. Please email me that Code.
Unlocking the cartridge on Whereigo.com is not required, but it would be greatly appreciated. After you've completed the cartridge you should see a "Spongebob Pirate Treasure Wherigo.gws" file on your device. You can upload this file to Wherigo.com and it will "Unlock" it, giving you full credit for completing the cartridge. It will also help keep track the number of completions for this cartridge. You can also "Unlock" it by entering the Completion Code. Again not required, but I would really appreciate it if you did.
If you enjoyed this Wherigo and wish to encourage me to create more, throw me a bone with a Favorite Point.
Tips and Duration:
Allow 1.5 to 2.5 hours to complete this Wherigo.This includes extra time to enjoy the beauty of the Park.
Cartridges running on a Smartphone/ Tablet/ Pocket PC: While playing, the game will save itself automatically. When exiting the App: click on Quit to save your game progress.
Cartridges running on a GPS: SAVE YOUR GAME OFTEN! When you are playing this game, I recommend saving your progress frequently, such as after the completion of every task. This will help avoid frustration when your player crashes, which it might - GPSs seem to still have bugs to work out. (My experience with Garmin Oregon: the game saved itself, even when the device was unintentionally turned off.)
Update 7/15/16: Ahoy scallywags! Me thinks this info will save time and get ye back to robbing and pillaging.
