This is a quick Wherigo, good for beginners with only three stops, including the final container. (If you are new to Wherigos, please read the helpful tips below.) Photos are welcome but please no spoilers. Please note your favorite sign by name in your log. If the final is missing please note that and count it as a find if you completed the cartridge.

Casa Grande was founded in 1879, and was originally called the community of Terminus, because it consisted of five residents and three buildings at the end of the railroad line. The Arizona mining boom and the presence of the Southern Pacific Railroad allowed it to grow slowly, as it did.
In September 1880, railroad executives renamed the settlement Casa Grande. When the mining boom slowed in the 1890s and after several fires had destroyed the town, it was nearly abandoned. But agriculture moved in, so the town remained alive and thrived. It was incorporated in 1915.

Wherigo FAQs Here is a play anywhere Wherigo tutorial. And Wherigo forums are the best place to find information about WIGs and your device.
Here are some quick tips:
Wherigos seem to work better on smart phones than on gps devices.
To play the Wherigo, you will need a Wherigo-enabled device. (For Andriod the app is called "WhereYouGo") info here First upload the Wherigo application to your device, then download the cartridge you want to play from the Wherigo web site, using the app. There is a link to this cartridge above.
As with all Wherigos, make sure you have uploaded the most recent version of the cartridge before you go. COs sometimes make changes to the cartridge and if you have the older version you will have glitches when you go to use it. So just upload it again just before you plan to go.
While using the cartridge, if you are at a zone and there is a glitch of some kind, step 30 feet away and try to enter the zone again. (Wherigo dictates the zones are only 10 feet around.) All zones/ locations are located on public property.
Save frequently during cartridge use.
Choose times of low traffic. Bring paper and pencil to jot down completion code (or take a screen shot) and to sign the log at the final.
Unique to Wherigos, there are two places to log them once found. Post a find on geocaching.com as usual. Groundspeak created another web site just for Wherigos: http://wherigo.com. Note there are no GC codes on this site; you have to do a search by area. To log this cache on Wherigo.com, go to the cache web page and click on the key icon, and enter your completion code. The cartridge will give you this code after the very last stop of the cartridge. Be ready as it is only given once!
FTF!
