Vintage Neon- Benson Highway Wherigo Cache

This is a short 4 stage Wherigo, which should only take about 20 minutes. All signs are on the south side of the two lane highway, except the first one, the Owl Lodge, which is on the north side of the two lane highway. You will be heading west on the highway for most of this WIG. BYOP. Use stealth. FTF: RS Arizona!

These signs likely have an interesting story behind them, but I could not find any history to share with you. I hope you enjoy seeing them anyway. If you know of any history of the motels or about the signs, please let me know.

The listed coordinates are for the start point. Photos are welcome. Please note your favorite sign in your log.

Here are some quick tips:

Wherigos seem to work better on smart phones than on gps devices.

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 you want to play from the Wherigo web site, using the app. There is a link to this cartridge above.

As with all Wherigos, make sure you have uploaded the most recent version of the cartridge before you go. 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 (or take a screen shot) and to sign the log at the final.

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. To log this cache on Wherigo.com, go to the cache web page and click on the key icon, and enter your completion code. The cartridge will give you this code after the very last stop of the cartridge. Be ready as it is only given once!

FTF!
