Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates, but it is nearby and can be reached by a person seated in a wheelchair. A captive portal network is a technology that many hotels and small businesses (ie: coffee shops) use to restrict access to their wi-fi internet connections by requiring a login/password which is frequently changed and provided to customers by the proprietor. For more details on Captive Portals I have provided a related link for you.

To find this geocache You will need to go to the posted coordinates and connect to an obviously named wi-fi network to access the captive portal. Please Note: Depending on your device's wi-fi reception strength you may need to move a little bit due WEST from the posted coordinates to see to the network. Connect to the portal through your favorite web browser. You will need to solve a simple puzzle in the field to get the final coordinates.

Alert: You are about to connect to an open network to obtain further details needed to find this geocache. As the geocache owner and network administrator, I represent that this network is safe to connect to, although it has not been checked by Groundspeak or by the reviewer for possible malicious content. Connect at your own risk.

Have fun, be safe, and happy caching!!!

*** Congratulations to not tom for FTF!! ***
