Geocache Description:

Welcome to Howard Amon River Park

Welcome to Howard Amon Park which is part of the City of Richland's Parks and Public Facilities. This tour style Wherigo will take you along the banks of the mighty Columbia River on a leisurely stroll through the park. 


NOT FAMILIAR WITH WHERIGO CACHES?  Wherigos are "played" via mini programs called cartridges that you must download BEFORE you can play the wherigo and find the cache. Visit the "Related Web Page" link at the top of this cache page to download the cartridge. Wherigo cartridges can be played on various formats to include Garmin Colorado, older Garmin Oregon, Garmin Nuvi 500 GPS units, as well as iPhones and Android phones via Wherigo apps that you need to download to your phone. You could even play Wherigos on an iPad or similar Android device also running a Wherigo app. When you click on the "Related Web Page" link, you will be directed to the Wherigo web page. IF you are using your smart phone to play the cartridge, remember to use the drop-down menu option for "Pocket PC Devices" as this is the only way the cartridge will work on your phone. For Garmin Colorado, Oregon & Nuvi 500 GPS units, you would use the appropriate drop-down option for your specific GPS unit.

 

BEFORE YOU START THIS WHERIGO, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU BRING A PIECE OF PAPER AND, OF COURSE, A WRITING INSTRUMENT AS YOU WILL NEED TO WRITE DOWN THE FINAL COORDS AND SIGN THE LOG AT THE CACHE SINCE THE CACHE WILL NOT HAVE ROOM FOR ANY WRITING STICK TO BE PLACED IN IT.  The Wherigo cartridge can be played anytime, but the cache is not accessible 24/7 since its located in a city park. The park hours are 5am to 11pm

Please enjoy this amazing walk - This wherigo begins at the southern end of the park just south of the of the Hampton Inn on the trail that runs along the river.
