Look4Trolls: My husband and I returned to replace the cache today but the winter was not kind to the trees that were home to the Wherigo. We decided to start over.
Thanks to all that visited.

Geocache Description:


The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.

Welcome to the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest.  This Wherigo is located just north of the Moquah Barrens State Natural Area. This is a beautiful drive along Ino Road (No.236) which is a paved road that passes through Moquah Barrens.  The drive through the Barrens is worth the drive all on it's own.

You must sign the log to claim a find. The final is unconventional which is a hint to look at the attributes.

 You may begin your search from any point in the world, but you will need a smartphone with the Wherigo app (for iphone) or WhereyouGo app (for android)... some Garmins are also equipped for Wherigo.

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.

The cartridge was created by -Waldmeister-   and is available to download from this web link. -Waldmeister-'s  "The first Reverse Cache [WIG]"  is the original cache in this family.  At the end of the game, you will be given a personal passcode 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. 

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:

026316
489201
677269

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.

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.  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.
