“This cache is part of an experiment that allows the use of Augmented Reality (AR) apps to find the cache. At the end of this experiment, Geocaching HQ intends to grandfather published AR caches. Geocaching HQ reserves the right to archive this cache at any time if conditions change. If you have found this cache and would like to give feedback on your experience, please fill out this survey.”
This AR experience is location based. You will need to go to the published coordinates to run and complete the AR "experience". It will only allow you to start the AR within +/- 100ft of these coordinates. This is in Washington Rock State Park Park, open sunrise to sunset. Please adhere to these hours.
To find the cache you will need to use Metaverse (for iOS and Android) which is a user-friendly app that can be downloaded for free on your smartphone. Once the app is installed and opened, type in the search box "@avgraphics" and select that name. Next, select the "Geocaching" icon, then click on the "Washington Rock & Cardinal Lane" icon. Remember, if you are not at the published coordinates you will not be able to start the AR.
As required by Groundspeak, you will still need a GPS capable device (GPS, Phone) to find the cache and sign the log. This AR experience is a field puzzle. You will need to figure out the right secret code to unlock the final coordinates, hence the higher difficulty rating.
Once you arrive at the cache container's ground-zero hiding spot location the difficulty and terrain rating are reduced by half. Do not go overboard on seeking out the hiding spot - it is right there on the trail's edge.
Remember to bring a pen or pencil so you can sign the log.
Enjoy and good luck!
