Stick a South Fork In It Wherigo Cache

This cache has been archived.

Serrabou: This was my first try at a Wherigo, and one big lesson was learned: where the sidewalk ends, so often does the cell reception. Thanks for all the visits, loved reading your logs!

Geocache Description:

A short hike along the creek to a couple of virtual waypoints.  Play the Whereigo cartridge to navigate to the zones, then enter correct information gathered there to get final coordinates for a lock-n-lock, located on other side of creek.  See additional parking waypoints if unwilling/unable to ford creek.


Wherigo This geocache uses a Wherigo cartridge available here. Fairfax County parks are open dawn to dusk: No night caching!

This is my first crack at a Whereigo cartridge and is nice and simple.  The idea is to guide you to a couple of interesting waypoints I found in this stream valley, resulting in a short hike within the park.  At each stage there is some information to be collected and entered, and if done so correctly the final coordinates will be revealed.  Just as I'm getting my feet wet with my first Whereigo, yours might get wet too depending on the stream flow. However alternate parking coords are provided should you prefer to skirt that issue. Good luck!
