Geocache Description:


The cache is NOT located at the posted coordinates. They are only virtual coordinates to let you know that the final is within two (2) miles of that spot.

This Wherigo converts your player into a virtual version of the "Reverse Cache Box" (there's a fascinating story about it here).

You will need to play the Wherigo cartridge to find where the cache is hidden.You must download the cartridge from here. While playing the Wherigo, you will be told the distance to the cache from where you currently are, but not the bearing.

The cartridge was created by -Waldmeister-. -Waldmeister-'s "The first Reverse Cache [WIG]" is the original Reverse Wherigo cache.

You may begin this Wherigo anywhere you like, but keep in mind that the final is somewhere within two (2) miles of the posted coordinates. Your task is to find the cache by periodically querying your Reverse Cache Box (within the Wherigo cartridge) 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 are contained within it. The cartridge is multilingual.

You will need the following three six-digit codes (these identify this particular Reverse Wherigo cache) to play this Wherigo (when you play the cartridge, it will ask you to enter them):
     504354
     529105
     748207


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.

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. After you make the find, feel free to post the stats (number of queries, etc.) from your search as part of your log. There is no "completion code" for this cartridge.

If you want to create your own Reverse Wherigo, you may do so using the passcode you receive upon completing the cartridge. The passcode is unique to you and can't be shared with other cachers. Simply choose "create" rather than "play" when starting the Reverse Wherigo and enter your passcode at that point. You will need to be at the final location for your hide, with a good signal on your device. The cartridge will then give you the exact coordinates (which you'll need when creating the geocache online) and the three six-digit codes that identify that location in the cartridge. Write these down, hide your container, and create your very own Reverse Wherigo! Just be sure to notify -Waldmeister- as a courtesy (no advance permission needed).
