Geocache Description:

A Wherigo Cache With an extra Twist

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates, but you must start there to collect the necessary information you will need.

Unlike most Reverse Wherigo's you have to start at the posted coordinates to calculate the X,Y, and Z values you will need to prime your WhereIGo player.


Remember to bring your own writing device, as the cache only contains a log, and cache note.

This cache starts as a three stage multi, where you will gather information along the way to calculate the X,Y, and Z values you will need to prime your WhereIGo player to take you to the cache.

Example: Tag= ab123456, fictitious coordinates: N 55 33.000 W 105 44.000, add last 4 digits would give you N 55 36.456 W 105 47.456

Example2: Tag= ab123456, fictitious XXXXXX: 654321, add last six digits would give you 777777

At the posted coordinates, you will find an infastructure asset tag. Add the last 6 digits of the asset number to 251487 to give you the XXXXXX value. And add the last four digits of the asset tag to these fictitious coordinates, N 50 22.609 W 104 34.220, to give you Stage 2.

At Stage 2, you will find an infastructure asset tag. Add the last six digits of the asset number to 534230 to give you the YYYYYY value. And add the last five digits of the asset tag to these fictitious coordinates, N 50 14.081 W 104 25.364, to give you Stage 3.

At Stage 3, you will find an infastructure asset tag. Add the last six digits of the asset number to 346812 to give you the ZZZZZZ value. Now plug the X,Y, and Z values you have calculated into the WhereIGo player!

This Wherigo converts your player into a virtual version of the "Reverse Cache Box" which tells you the distance to the cache, but not the bearing.

 

Reverse Geocache Puzzle Box

 

The cartridge was created by Waldmeister and is available to download from the wherigo.com website.

Your task is to find the cache by periodically querying your Reverse Cache Box for the distance to the final location. Try to use your Reverse Cache Box as few times as possible. All instructions and necessary information needed to complete the cartridge is contained within it. The cartridge is multilingual. When entering the lanuage you can shorten it to 2 digits, example: English to EN.

To begin, you will have to type this code into your player:

XXXXXX

YYYYYY

ZZZZZZ

It is suggested that you take the code with you on your journey. It will be needed if it becomes necessary to restart your player for any reason.

Optional:

When you have reached the final, you will be given some statistics on your quest. If you wish, you may enter the details into your log, and also post the number of times you calculated the distance.

At the end of the game, you will be given a personal pass-code which you can enter into the cartridge if you select "create" rather than "play" when you start the cartridge. Save this code, and if you ever wish to create your own reverse cache, you can do so. -Waldmeister- would like you to inform him of your new edition of his handiwork. Please do not include hints in your log about where and how you found the cache or post photos that would give away the final location.

This R-WIG was placed using an android tablet, with at the time, an accuracy of 3M, and tested on said tablet, and an IOS device.

Congrats to navyguider on the FTF!
