Geocache Description:

This is designed to play as you walk and find the caches of the CMM16 series. It CAN be done seperately or together.

We hope you enjoy this tour of crosswinds marsh. Please stay on the trails and DO NOT BUSHWACK until you reach the final! Please be sure you take down final coords when they are given to you as you will only see them 1 time. If not, you will have to replay the whole cartridge :( UGGGHHHHHHH

Wherigo is a toolset for creating and playing GPS-enabled adventures in the real world. By integrating a Wherigo experience, called a cartridge, with finding a geocache, the geocaching hunt can be an even richer experience. Among other uses, Wherigo allows geocachers to interact with physical and virtual elements such as objects or characters while still finding a physical geocache container. A Wherigo-enabled GPS device is required to play a cartridge. Learn more at Wherigo.com.

If you have any trouble, here are a few tips:
* If you see an image but no text, scroll down.
* There is a lot of tree cover. If you "stop tracking" when heading to the zone, walk away and walk back.
* If your smartphone freezes, quit the cartridge, start it again and "resume" your game

Remember, this is a marsh....If you are intending to hunt for the caches or explore the trails, please come prepared with boots/old shoes (not sandals or flip-flops), long pants, and insect repellent. This time of year in the woods of South Eastern Michigan there is poison ivy, ticks and mosquitoes a plenty! While searching for this cache, YOU MAY ENCOUNTER WATER (it is a marsh after all.) Due to the changing seasons in Michigan, the D/T may vary at different times of the year.

You must physically sign the log to claim the find so, BRING YOUR OWN PEN.Failure to do so may result in the deletion of your log. We do check occasionally. The cache started with a pen and SWAG but, no guarantees that it will be there! If you take something.....leave something. Please trade fairly!

Admission to Crosswinds Marsh is free!
