Geocache Description:



GEOCACHING NIGHT IN EDMONTON





4th LINE



In ice hockey, a line is a group of forwards that play in a group, or "shift", during a game. Typically, an NHL team dresses twelve forwards along four lines. The fourth line is usually the weakest line and plays the least amount of time. They are often referred to as "grinders".



When I was young, the big hockey game was always on TV on Saturday night starting at 6 pm right after the Bugs Bunny and Roadrunner show. Hockey Night in Canada was a part of our country and this is definitely a hockey town so why not put out a geoart series to celebrate our love for hockey!! Each cache represents a different letter of the alphabet or one of the numbers from 0 to 10. For some of the letters/numbers there were a bunch of hockey terms to pick from so sometimes it wasn’t an easy choice but I tried to pick some of the more interesting ones. Most of these caches are in the Belgravia, McKernan and Windsor neigbourhoods and also Mayfair Park but there are a few outliers as well. Good luck finding the caches and have fun!!




** NOTE: THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES **


This is another reverse wherigo cache for those of you who like them like me. This one isn't hidden in a "Ninja Fairies approved"spot but it still should be an easy find.


You can follow the instructions below to setup your device for wherigos and test out reverse wherigos on this cache. Good luck and have fun!! This Wherigo converts your player into a virtual version of the "Reverse Cache Box" which tells you the distance to the cache, but not the bearing. You may begin your search from any spot in the world using your Smartphone or Wherigo compatible GPS to navigate to the cache.

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.

Your task is to find the cache by periodically querying your Reverse Cache Box 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 is contained within it. The cartridge is multilingual. When entering the lanuage you can shorten it to 2 digits, example: English to EN.

To begin, you will have to type this code into your player:

255333
595219
184551

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.

Optional:

When you have reached the final, you will be given some statistics on your quest. If you wish, you may enter the details into your log, and also post the number of times you calculated the distance.

At the end of the game, you will be given a personal password which you can enter into the cartridge if you select "create" rather than "play" when you start the cartridge. Save this code, and if you ever wish to create your own reverse cache, you can do so. -Waldmeister- would like you to inform him of your new edition of his handiwork. Please do not include hints in your log about where and how you found the cache or post photos that would give away the final location.

Any Spoilers in the logs and they will be deleted without contacting the log owner

Have Fun!!
