Welcome to our winter series for 2023-24 in which this year we decided to feature the Detroit Lions seeing that they are doing so good for the first time in a long time. Be sure to collect all the codes along the way as you will need them to help find the geocache location. The geocaches are guaranteed to be available through Easter Sunday March 31.
Eddie Murray was Detroit's popular field goal kicker of the early to mid 1980s. To some people he was known and nickname as Eddie money Murray as his kicks always seem to be right on the money. One of his more memorable moments came in 1981 when he beat the Dallas cowboys on the last second field goal in this Game . Also WDIV TV 4 in Detroit conducted an Interview with him as he reflected back on his time with the Lions and when he finally won a super bowl ring after joining the Dallas Cowboys
The posted coordinates are a good place to start running the cartridge.
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.
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 this code into your player:
704392
071121
827946
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 which you can enter into the cartridge if you select "create" rather than "play" when you start the cartridge. 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.
Have Fun!
It has come to our attention that some have had trouble with the cartridge. If you stand at the posted coordinates, Eddie Murray's field goal in the video would have landed near the cache if kicked at 330 degrees.
