589th Augmented Reality Geocache in the world and my 20th cache!
The Cache is not located at the posted coordinates. But they are close.
This cache is part of an experiment that allows the use of Augmented Reality (AR) apps to find the cache. At the end of this experiment in March 2019, Geocaching HQ intends to grandfather published AR caches. Geocaching HQ reserves the right to archive this cache at any time if conditions change. If you have found this cache and would like to give feedback on your experience, please fill out this Survey.
The full Geocaching guidelines for this experiment can be found Here.
Remember that AR is a new technology. As such it might not always work smoothly when viewing an AR experience. There also might be issues if multiple people are attempting to view the same AR experience. So be patient with the experience and have fun.
To solve this puzzle you will need the following app for your compatible device. It works on both IOS devices or Android devices but has not been tested in other operating systems. Both versions are free and able to be used without an account.
Alert: While both apps are free to use without an account, you will have to download the app to be able to find this geocache. As the geocache owner, I ensure that this app is safe to download. It has not been checked by Geocaching HQ or by the reviewer. Download this app at your own risk.

Go to the posted coordinates and open the app. Look for virtual experiences nearby and find this one. (If it doesn't search automatically you may have to click the "world" icon on the top of the app to find this AR experience).
Once you have found the AR experience, you will have a glimpse of the 1921 World Series. And the famous Babe Ruth will be up to bat and give you the coordinates. Good Luck and have fun.

While the puzzle is completely in the Augmented Reality environment, it is geolocated in Mesquite, Texas. It can be accessed anywhere in the world, but the solution will not be visible unless you are within 40feet (12 meters). Viewing the augmented reality wall will reveal the GPS coordinates and does not need a coordinate checker. The cache itself is hidden somewhere nearby. Bring your own pen.
*NOTE: the AR location and the cache will not be accessible when certain events are happening at the location (usually a couple of times a week during the spring and the summer).
Be careful since the area always seems to be busy with people and has lots traffic nearby.
Feel free to include other pictures (but not the coordinates).
Bring your own pen.You must sign the log to claim the find. No exceptions, and no excuses. Blank logs may be deleted without notice. Avoid the use of acronym only logs online.
CONGRATS to Guido71 for the first to find approximately 43hours and 12 minutes after it published.
