I have done a few Wherigos lately and have really enjoyed the new reverse Wherigos. I always start out with some preconceived ideas about where it might be hidden, unfortunately I am usually wrong. When I get close I usually think "now where would I hide it" and fortunately I am usually right. Good luck everyone.
The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates, but is somewhere in Collier County, FL. You can start searching from anywhere!
This Wherigo allows you to search for the cache using only distance clues (no directions). You might want to bring a map...
The cartridge was created by -Waldmeister- and is available to download from the wherigo.com website. -Waldmeister-'s "The first Reverse Cache [WIG]" is the original cache in this family.
The basic idea is to find the final while being given only your distance to it. To get the current distance, you can ask the Reverse Cache Box in your inventory, but it won't tell you the direction - that's for you to figure out! There's no limit to how many times you can ask, but try to keep your number of guesses as low as possible. Theoretically, you should only need 3 queries to triangulate on the cache, but in practice you'll probably need more. All instructions and necessary information needed to complete the cartridge are provided in the cartridge itself, which is multilingual.
The Reverse Wherigo is a generic cartridge that works on many such caches worldwide. To identify the Collier County version, you must type this code into your player when asked:
202394
116763
800221
You should probably keep this code handy, as you'll need it if you have to restart for any reason.
Once you zero in on a spot close to the final, you can try to find it yourself without any more queries. If you make a query within a very short distance, you'll receive the actual coordinates and can follow your GPS from there. Otherwise, you probably won't need your GPS receiver at all when playing this wherigo. After you make the find, feel free to post the stats (number of queries, etc.) from your search as part of your log. There's no "completion code" for this cartridge.
