Geocache Description:


A Wherigo Cache With a Twist

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.  This is a Reverse  Wherigo cache. The posted coordinates will take you to a small bridge. .

Once you are at the small bridge you will see a small plaque on the bridge.. There are 5 lines on the plaque . You need to type the first word  from the first 4 lines (no spaces)  into the checker provided on this page.   If you have the correct words the checker will give you the 3 numbers you need to do this reverse Wherigo.

 

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

So this is Reverse Wherigo for you to figure out.  I hope you have fun!!!!

You can follow the instructions below to setup your device for wherigo's and test out reverse wherigo's on this cache. Good luck and have fun. 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. When entering the lanuage you can shorten it to 2 digits, example: English to EN.

To begin, you will have to type the 3 codes  you got from the checker into your player:

It is suggested that you take the codes 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.
