Komodo Dragon
The Komodo dragon is the largest living lizard; it can grow to about 10 feet and weigh as much as 150 pounds. It is native to the Indonesian Lesser Sunda Islands of Komodo, Flores, Padar, Rinca, and Gili Motang. The Komodo dragon has a long flat head with a rounded snout, huge muscular tail, bowed legs, and scaly skin. They are not shy of hunting large prey including deer, carrion, pigs, and water buffalo. Attacks on humans have also been reported. The saliva of the Komodo dragon is highly venomous and a single bite is enough to down a buffalo in less than 12 hours.
The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates
This Wherigo converts your player into a virtual version of the "Reverse Cache Box" which tells you the bearing to the cache, but not the distance. You may begin your search from any spot in the world using your Smartphone or Whereigo compatible GPS to navigate to the cache.
**As the cartridge produces whole number degrees, the triangulation is not accurate from long distances especially if the 2 readings are taken close together producing an acute angle at intersection, so don't be disheartened by a GZ that seems wrong, go near there and take more readings.**
The cartridge was created by day1976 and is available to download from the wherigo website. day1976's Open Source Reverse Wherigo .
Start up the player, find and load the cartridge. > NewGame > Find a Geocache > Answer > Enter First Code > xxxxx > Answer > Enter Second Code > xxxxx > Answer > The bearing to this Geocache is xxx degrees. This bearing is from where you are standing. It is now up to you how many times you relocate and obtain different bearings so as to triangulate the cache. The ultimate goal would be to find the cache with just one bearing reading, but for most, it would need a minimum of two bearings. Bearings are with respect to True North, so If using an OS map, allowances will have to be made, as Grid North, Magnetic North, and True North are all different!
To begin, you will have to type these two codes into your player when prompted:

efjjm
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.
Have Fun!
