Geocache Description:


This is a Wherigo cache with a twist.   It is a reverse WIG!  This one is downtown.  See the hint for cache type and hide info!

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

The posted coordinates are meant to mask the final location and no cache is hidden there.

You can follow the instructions below to setup your device for Wherigos and test out reverse Wherigos like this cache. 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 Wherigo compatible GPS to navigate to the cache.

The cartridge was created by Waldmeister and is available to download from the wherigo.com website.

-Waldmeister-'s "The first Reverse Cache [WIG]" is the original cache in this family.  Please see his page for more detailed information. 

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. When entering the language you can shorten it to 2 digits, example: English to EN.

To begin, you will have to type these 3 codes into your player:  (Line by line)

 

004382

716025

880220

 

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.

Optional:

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.

At the end of the game, you will be given a personal pass-code.  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. 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.

 Good luck and have fun.   Please let me know if you are having trouble with this.  I have only completed a few of these and i use "WhereYouGo" for Android for mine but there are other apps and ways to use a GPS.  Please rehide away from the view of muggles!!

CONGRATS to Tprints and MommyTP on the FTF!!!!
