Welcome to the Fall Fest 2025 81 Grid Series
This series will offer a variety of DT ratings throughout Brantford and Brant County - be prepared for almost anything. They are being placed for GCAX1X1 Fall Fest 2025, but are not part of the GeoChallenge and are NOT challenge caches. Some will be park and grabs, while others will involve longer hikes or TOTTs. Please check the descriptions and attributes for each cache and do not attempt anything outside of your comfort zone. These caches are being placed to appeal to a wide variety of caching levels and abilities.

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates, however you will need to visit the posted coordinates in order to gather the information you need to complete this reverse wherigo cache. Stage 1 (the posted coordinates) will take you to the observation site of the original canoe landing area for the Mohawk Village that sat on this site more than 200 years ago. Follow the directions below to obtain the three, 6-digit codes you require for the reverse wherigo using the information on plaque at the observation site.

This cache is a reverse Wherigo which is a unique type of cache. You will need a smart phone or a GPS that supports Wherigo in order to play the adventure. Once you have the app that you will be using you need to download a cartridge from the wherigo.com website.
The cartridge was created by Waldmeister . The first cache in the series is called "The first Reverse Cache [WIG]". The Reverse Wherigo is a generic cartridge that works on many such caches worldwide. To identify this particular cache you must type a code into your player.
A Little About Reverse Wherigo Adventures:
A reverse Wherigo does not give you the coordinates for the cache. It only tells you how far away the cache is from your current location. It does NOT tell you what direction to go in. You can start the Wherigo anywhere, so you might begin fairly close to the cache or 50 miles or more away from the cache. After you have traveled a little ways you can re-check your distance to see if you are getting closer or further away from the cache. You can continue to check your distance at intervals as you move along. Once you check the distance you can adjust your direction of travel. Keep checking the distance until you are consistently getting closer. When you get close enough the cartridge will give you the final coordinates.
Some people like to see if they can minimize the number of distance checks. Theoretically, you should only need 3 queries to triangulate on the cache, but in practice you'll probably need many more.
In order to run the cartridge for this specific Wherigo you need to have three 6-digit code numbers.
In order to find the three 6-digit codes you require, you will need to look for a small bronze plaque located at the posted coordinates.
On this plaque you will see the phrase "From it's Construction in..." followed by two years.
The first year that appears will be ABCD, and the second year that appears will be EFGH.
Later in the plaque, you will see the date of the first landing - JKLM
Using this information, you can unlock the three codes required.
M0M3D0
3AKG36
FMMG60
It's a good idea to write these numbers down just in case you have to restart the program for any reason (dead batteries, crashed program, etc.)
The final is a black bison tube, and is within walking distance of the observation platform. Parking is available in the large lot near the posted coordinates. Please bring a pen to sign the log and replace the cache as found.
