Geocache Description:


Reverse Wherigo at Lake George! 

 

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates, but you may begin your search from any point in the world!

This Wherigo converts your player into a virtual version of the "Reverse Cache Box" which tells you the distance to the next stage, 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 stage two! 

The cartridge was created by -Waldmeister- and is available to download from the wherigo website. The Reverse Cache - beta .

-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 stage two of this combined wherigo/puzzle/multi. 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.


 

Stage One: The Puzzle / Wherigo!

To begin, you will have to type three codes into your player when prompted. Each code is 6 digits long. However you will have to decipher what this code will be from the simple puzzle below! 

! A # B ^ H

& A  & C % H

$ H ^ 0 ) I


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.

Stage Two: The Multi!

Once you have finished the Wherigo cartridge you should be standing at the coordinates to stage two. 

Instructions: Look down at your feet, embedded into the concrete you should see a circular piece of metal, it is the size and shape of a 10 cent coin. On this coin you should see some numbers

There are 6 digits on the first line. ADD this number to (3304697) for the South coordinates

There are 4 digits on the second line. ADD this number to (14913407) for the East coordinates

Congratulations! You now have the coordinates to the final cache location.
