Word Scramble Redux Wherigo Cache

This cache has been archived.

LCSM: I regret having to archive this cache, just before it’s 4th birthday. I wanted to have an old school wherigo in this area, not just the type where you answer a question or two and get the coordinates. I did not write the cartridge though, and I don’t know how to fix it, so having heard that people who use android phones cannot complete the cartridge is disappointing. The idea was for people to have fun, not get frustrated. With that in mind, I picked up the container.😥

Geocache Description:


First and foremost, a HUGE thank you to Rusty-O-Junk. This is a wherigo cache, and the container is not hidden at the posted coords. You need to play the cartridge and visit the various stages (possibly more than once) in order to unscramble the letters and put them in the proper order to form the word. 

To play the Cartridge you will go to the 5 Boxes (zones) to pick up and drop off letters unscrambling a 5 letter word. After you have been to all 5 boxes at least once a new zone will turn on called hint. The hint is intended as a last ditch effort and not a direct route to unscrambling the word. For that reason the hint is .4 miles away. If you need it make the hike. If you can figure the word out you will save the trip. Instructions for game play may be found in the HOME screen under TASKS. You can review them anytime during game play. You may download the corresponding cartridge

here.

The final container is a lock n lock hidden along the canal trail.
