Geocache Description:


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, and we would recommend not going there, as you'd need to trespass to do so. The final cache is a regular peanut butter jar with a twist top lid. It's hidden within 3km of the posted coordinates. If you're vertically challenged, you may need to bring a small step ladder with you. You'll need to use the wherigo cartridge found below, in order to locate the final cache.  

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.

As for the name of this cache, this was another one of those phrases that Bigguy14760 heard an awful lot... especially when he was "coming in hot" instead of driving like an old lady with a pot full of spaghetti sauce on her lap on her way to a church luncheon. While hiding caches together, the rule is that Bigguy drives and Pasha gets the containers ready, looks for spots, takes coordinates, makes notes and writes up the cache pages... fair trade off, right?

Anyways, this is one of the spots that Pasha made Bigguy back up for, and you'll probably understand why when you see it. Weave your way in under the canopy and look up.

Please return the cache as found, and bring a pen to sign the log.
