Susan B Intercache Multi-Cache

This is an Intercache, a multi-cache to be played using a smart phone, instead of your GPS. The above listed coordinates are for the general area of part one. This cache will take you on a tour of sites related to Susan B Anthony. The distance could be as much as 2 and 1/2 miles to complete this cache. It could take about an hour if you walk, faster if you bike or drive. Depending on where you choose to park, there may be a fee.

What's an intercache?

An InterCache is an interactive geocache. An intercache is a new way of creating a mystery geocache, similar to a wherigo geocache. The biggest difference is that the entire geocache can be developed, edited, and played on your mobile phone's browser with no software required to download! It was developed by our very own ChileHead.

How do you play?

First, make sure you have a compatible device. Go to intercaching.com on your cell phone and select the test button. I recommend doing this outside for best results. You should see your current coordinates as well as the estimated accuracy. If you see something reasonable, you'll all set! If you get an error, you may need to enable the GPS and other geolocation settings on your phone. You may also not have a compatible phone.

Play

If your device is compatible, then head on over to the Susan B intercache page and start. There is a compass that has an arrow pointing you the right direction as you move. You may have to walk a little bit before the arrow points in the right direction as this application doesn't have access to your phone's digital compass if it has one.

After arriving at each stage, you will be asked a question having to do with where you are. If you answer correctly, you will be given the location to go to next. If wrong, just try again. Select the new location to continue your tour.

Notes

• This is a newer way of looking for a geocache. It hasn't been tested on every phone with every OS, but seems to work fine with iOS and Android devices. Let me know if you have problems (and I will let Chilehead know!).
• It's safe to let your screen timeout while walking. When the screen times out, your GPS *should* go off and not waste battery. When you turn your phone screen back on, it might take a few seconds for the app to get your coordinates again.
