Geocache Description:


The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates!

Note that this park has seasonal access.  The signs at the front of the park state that it is open from April through October.  Please do not attempt to search for this cache when the park gates are closed and locked.

Dawn to dusk caching only!

This cache was originally hidden for the That's Not Fair . . . or Is It ?!?? Part Deux event on September 2, 2023.



The cache is hidden somewhere within Claridon Recreational Park, about 25 feet off of a main trail.  You may encounter mud or water when crossing into the woods.  You can start your search from anywhere!  This Wherigo allows you to search for the cache using only distance clues (no directions).

The cartridge was created by -Waldmeister- and is available to download from the wherigo.com website.  Please be sure you have the most current version of the module loaded on your device, as it is updated occasionally.  Older versions will no longer work.  -Waldmeister-'s "The first Reverse Cache [WIG]" is the original cache in this family.

The basic idea is to find the final cache while being given only your distance to it.   To get the current distance, you can ask the Reverse Cache Box in your inventory, but it won't tell you the direction to the hiding spot - that's for you to figure out!   There is no limit to how many times you can ask, but try to keep your number of attempts as low as possible.   Theoretically, you should only need three queries to triangulate on the cache, but in practice you'll probably need more.   All instructions and necessary information needed to complete the Wherigo are provided in the cartridge itself, which is multilingual. The Reverse Wherigo is a generic cartridge that works on many such caches worldwide.

To identify this particular Reverse Wherigo version, you must type this code into your player device when asked:

004318

355110

887401


You should probably keep this code handy, as you'll need it if you have to restart for any reason.

Once you zero in on a spot close to the final location, you can try to find the cache yourself without any more queries.  If you make a query within a very short distance of the cache location, you will receive the actual final coordinates and can follow your GPSr from there.  Otherwise, you probably won't need your GPS receiver at all when playing this Wherigo.  After you make the find, feel free to post the number of queries you needed to find the cache in your log.  There is no "completion code" for this cartridge.
