Geocache Description:


While out doing some Spring Maintenance, I saw some extra spots for hides on the Etobicoke Creek Trail - Enjoy!

This cache is not at the posted coordinates.

At the posted coordinates you will find a gate with a large red sign on it. The sign has four digits (numbers and letters), enter these four digits into the checker to receive your Reverse Wherigo codes.
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

This is a Wherigo cache, with a twist. The cache is not at the posted coordinates, and you may begin your search from any point in the world! You can start your adventure from posted, your choice.

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 HERE.

-Waldmeister-'s "The first Reverse Cache [WIG]" is the original cache in this family.

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 the code you received from the checker into your player:

xxxxxx
xxxxxx
xxxxxx

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.

Also, at the end of the game, you will be given a personal passcode. You can enter this passcode to allow you to create your own reverse Wherigo cache. (To do this, when you start the cartridge, select "create" rather than "play", and follow the prompts).

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. Any logs that contains spoilers will be deleted.
