Geocache Description:


This is part of my LTO Series. If you have geocaching in Pocatello, Idaho; I have taken some of the ideas they are doing there and making this series my own.😉

The cache IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES! The coordinates take you to the Hamilton Golf Club.

You have to figure out the location on your own by downloading and playing the Wherigo 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

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, select 'Play' then type this code into your player:

002346

486811

166431

Once you zero in on a spot close to the final, you can try to find it yourself without any more queries.  If you make a query within 25 yards, you will receive the actual coordinates and can follow your GPS from there.  After you make the find, feel free to post the output stats (number of queries, etc.) from your search with your find log.  There is a "completion code" for this cartridge but it is not needed for anything here.

 

The cache is a  micro with only room for a log. Please bring something to sign the log. There should be parking close by, so please park responsibly. Please return as found.

 

If you want to create your own Reverse Wherigo, you can do so using the unique passcode you receive at the end of the game. Simply choose "create" rather than "play" when starting the Reverse Wherigo and enter your passcode at that point and just follow the instructions. You will need to be at the final location for your hide, with a good signal on your device. The cartridge will then give you the exact coordinates (which you'll need when creating the geocache online) and the three six-digit numbers that identify that location in the cartridge. Write these down, hide your container and create your very own Reverse Wherigo! Just be sure to notify -Waldmeister- as a courtesy (no advance permission needed).

 

NOTE: Make sure to sign the cache logbook, as online "Found It" logs without a corresponding entry in the logbook will be deleted.
