The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.
Welcome to the Tri-County Corridor Trail. 61 miles long, this multi-use trail spans three counties (Douglas, Bayfield and Ashland). The Trail is open to the following activities: ATVs, Bike, Horseback Riding, Mountain Biking, Snowmobiling, and Walking. It is also advertised as a Geocaching Trail on the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy website. It is mostly large size gravel, so a wider tire is recommended if you're biking. The trail generally follows Hwy 2, but there are a few spots where the trail crosses the highway. Please use caution!! The caches will always be hidden just off the trail, or between the trail and the highway ROW. None of the hides are on private property.
Also, please note that while this looks like a power trail, there is a mixture of cache containers/sizes and many of them will take some time to retrieve and replace. Please DO NOT move the logs. Sign and replace as found. If your name is not in the cache, you should not be claiming a find. Lastly, you should bring your own pencil.
You may want more than just a bicycle along to grab some of these hides. The difficulty is based on the agggravation factor of a reverse Wherigo and the terrain was rated using the following scale:
1 Wheelchair accessible.
1½ Granny with her cane can get to it easily.
2 Granny with her cane can still get to it, but it won't be easy.
2½ Off the trail a bit, up or downhill likely.
3 Probably should watch your footing, bit of a challenge!
3½ A short TOTT was used to place the cache.
4 A 10 foot TOTT was used to place the cache. Look UP!
4½ More than 10 feet up, use a long TOTT. Look way UP!
5 Tethered! You'll need to climb that tree, maybe bring a different TOTT
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:
304313
957565
956511
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.
