Round and Round Bloemfontein Wherigo Cache

This cache has been archived.

Uncle Chem: It doesn't look as though the island is coming back so even if I fix it, it will effectively be a new cache. I'll archive this one to make room for another cache.

Geocache Description:


The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates, but you may begin your search from any point in the world. As an ode to the first ever cache I logged, I have placed the posted coordinates at the identical location of the first cache I ever logged (now archived GC2GHQG). That is the only relevance of the posted coordinates. The final cache is placed in the northern suburbs of Bloemfontein surrounded by the N1, N8 and R30 highways

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 Whereigo compatible GPS to navigate to the cache.

This cache is an important one to me as it forms the first of my series of 30 around Bloemfontein to celebrate my 30th birthday (1/30). Geocaching has been an important part of my life recently and I thought it proper to celebrate this way. This cache not only pays homage to my first ever find but also contributes to the Bloemfontein community which hasn't had a Wherigo cache type until now. Finally, the final location is at a street with a certain apt name (please do no post pictures of the street name as it will give the location of the final away).

To find this cache you must download the Reverse Wherigo cartridge created by -Waldmeister-  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.

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

102258

104296

261866

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. It is also suggested that you'll be doing this one while driving unless you want to walk a lot. Therefore, this is a teamwork cache as I don't endorse driving in-cache-ticated.

Optional:

When you have reached the final, you will be given some statistics on your quest. You can enter the details in 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 pass-code 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.
