Geocache Description:

This Wherigo showcases just a few of Bozeman's beautiful vintage neon signs. It is best at night so you can enjoy the lit up neon, but can be done during the day as well. Five stops plus a final cache with a log to sign, takes about 30 minutes. If you are new to Wherigos this is a good one to try as your first one. Click HERE to go to the cartridge.

There wasn't much information available on each of these signs or the history of the motels, which I usually like to include. So this Wherigo is mostly just fun for the eyes. We hope you enjoy it anyway!

I've been told there is a munzee at the final location.

I happened to be creating this Wherigo when Nancy Reagan passed away in March of 2016. See photo of the marquee at that time.

The listed coordinates are for the start point. Please note your favorite art piece in your log. Photos are welcome but please no spoilers.

New to Wherigos? Wherigo FAQs Here is a play anywhere Wherigo tutorial. And Wherigo forums are the best place to find information about WIGs and your device.

Here are some quick tips:

To play the Wherigo, you will need a Wherigo-enabled device. (For Andriod the app is called "WhereYouGo") info here. First upload the Wherigo application to your device, then download the cartridge(see link above) from the Wherigo web site, using the app.

As with all Wherigos, make sure you have uploaded the most recent version of the cartridge before you go. Often COs sometimes 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 just before you plan to go.

While using the cartridge, 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. (Wherigo dictates the zones are only 10 feet around.) All zones/ locations are located on public property.

Save frequently during cartridge use.

Choose times of low traffic. Bring paper and pencil to jot down completion code, and to sign log.

Unique to Wherigos, there are two places to log them once found. Post a find on geocaching.com as usual. Groundspeak created another web site just for Wherigos: http://wherigo.com. Note there are no GC codes on this site; you have to do a search by area. You can also log it there (but not required), and give the cache a rating of 1-5 stars, but you will need your completion code to do so. The cartridge will give you this code after the very last stop of the cartridge. Have a pencil and paper ready, or take a screen shot. Be ready as it is only given once!
