THE CACHE IS NOT LOCATED AT THE LISTED COORDINATES
This was originally an Augmented Reality cache using HP Reveal. This company went out of business. Until I can recreate the AR with a new, reliable AR app, simply do the following to get the final coordinates.
Add 0.023 to the North coordinates.
Add 0.495 the West coordinates.
This is part of an experiment with Groundspeak and integration of Augmented Reality into geocaching.
This cache requires the use of either an Android or an Iphone with the HP Reveal app installed. Links to the apps are below. The app requires you to sign up for a free account. There is no requirement for personal information. I suggest installing and setting up the app prior to attempting the cache.
Android: CLICK HERE
iPhone: CLICK HERE
To locate the cache:
--> (Best to do this beforehand) Download the HP Reveal app.
--> Search for the Aura "GC7X63R".
--> Select the image of the plaque.
--> Select "thorscouts's Public Auras" then select FOLLOW (you can unfollow after you finish the cache).
--> Once you've set up HP Reveal, go to the posted coords.
--> Open the HP Reveal app and make sure you're at the home screen.
--> Select the blue frame at the bottom of the screen.
--> Point the phone at the sign (you may have to zoom in all the way in the middle and gradually zoom out).
--> An image will appear of my favorite veteran and the final cache coordinates.
Note: My grandfather was a proud U.S. Navy Veteran. He loved to tell stories of his years in the military and often got together with his old Navy buddies to reminisce. When you look at the AR image, you will see his picture along with the final coordinates. The cache is located near another of his favorite activities.
Cache is available 24 hours, however, the AR app may not work properly without adequate daylight to read the sign.
