Geocache Description:


Welcome to a Reverse Wherigo geocache!

Obviously the cache will not be found at the posted coordinates. Nor do I expect you to even go there. Rather, you can start anywhere you want to! But you need to have Wherigo software installed on your phone, and then run this cartridge in the Wherigo software:

The Reverse Cache Cartridge

This will create a game of "hot or cold" where you can check your position anywhere on the planet and the Wherigo app will tell you how far away you are from the cache. But actually that is the only thing it will tell you. Please double-check the difficulty/terrain ratings I have placed and manage your expectations. Once you get to within 25 meters, the software will give you final coordinates to zero in on where the geocache has been hidden.

Use these 3 codes when asked by the cartridge:

122396

419610

751461

The software does keep track of how many queries you send to see how far away you are. It could be fun to see how few queries you need to utilize, and post your score. Sort of like a game of golf.

Please drive responsibly and do not use your mobile device while driving!!

( Special thanks to Martin 5 for exposing me to this idea when I found a couple of these caches in Couer d'Alene )

( Special tool icon on this cache refers to needing the software )
