Geocache Description:


Use the time machine to travel back in time and help the people of Plymouth Colony survive their first winter at their new settlement. For helping them, the governor will reward you with a treasure that he hid in the 1600s and you can regain today. And remember, you might just be the only hope Plymouth settlers have to survive! Good luck on your adventure and Happy Thanksgiving!

Here are just a couple of suggestions on how to proceed in this game.
1.) Turn off tracking and calibrate the compass on your GPSr before you start the game.
2.) To find out how many pounds of fish you have already gotten, you can look into your Task section of Main menu at any time. Your device will let you know, after you reach the desired amount.
3.) If you play this cartridge with more than one device, you might find that the progressions of cartridges on those devices aren't the same. This is because your device is actually making random decisions on zones you have to visit as well as what happens in these zones. Due to this, the completion time of this game varies.
4.) There isn't a save function in this cartridge, instead it saves periodically by itself as you progress in the game and obtain various artifacts.

This is a Wherigo geocache so the above coords are for the starting location of this game. Upon successful completion of the game, John Carver will reward you with the treasure. The cache is a nano and doesn't contain a pen, so bring your own writing instrument.

Unlocking the cartridge on Whereigo.com is not required, but it would be greatly appreciated. After you've completed the cartridge you should see a "thanksgiving.gws" file on your device. You can upload this file to Wherigo.com and it will "Unlock" it, giving you credit for completing the cartridge (on the Wherigo site). It will also help track the number of completions for this cartridge. Again not required, but I would really appreciate it if you did. You may also complete the cartridge by visiting the cartridge page and entering in the completion code you received after completing the cartridge. You may also review the cartridge by Write a Log.
