Geocache Description:

NOTE: Hint was updated 9/25/15, but not on the cartridge. See updated hint below. //A short Wherigo on a small section of East Grant Road, good one if trying your first WIG. Some old neon signs, a couple of dives, and an unusual sculpture. Five stages plus the final container. Final is about 0.8 miles from stage 5. Bring pencil and paper. Takes less than an hour by car. Easy to do by bike, but lots of traffic on this main thoroughfare. Hint=spoiler


If you go at night (recommended) you will need a flashlight to see the statue.

Tips about Wherigos: 1) As with all Wherigos, make sure you have uploaded the most recent version of the cartridge before you go. Often COs make changes to the cartridge and if you have the older version you will have glitches when you go to use it. So just upload it again the day you plan to run it. 2) If you are at a zone and there is a glitch of some kind, step 30 feet away and try to enter the zone again. 3) Save frequently during cartridge use. 4) To learn more about Wherigos: http://www.wherigo.com/

To play the cartridge, you will need a Wherigo-enabled device. (For Andriod the app is called "WhereYouGo") info here
