Welcome to The Great Humpty Hunt

Back in 2002, the first Humpty Dumpty sculpture appeared in Colorado Springs as part of the "Art on the Streets" program.

20+ years later, and the city now has 19 of these egg creations around town.

Have you seen them all? This wherigo will take you to all of them, and then a geocache very close to the last stop.

 


The driving distance from the starting point to the final geocache is just over 16 miles.

This adventure will take you from downtown to the NE part of the Springs.

Wow, what an adventure for my first WIG cache. Traveled with my geopal oz8118 to all sites after being unable to load the cartridge on my phone (perhaps that why I've not found any WIG 'cachers before? :) ). Who knew there were so many egg sculptures in our area? It was a bit warm temperature-wise this afternoon, but we persevered. SL at the final and discovered a trackable. TFTC and the "egg-ucation" about unique local art.

What a great adventure across Colorado Springs to see ALL 19 of these cute eggs. I absolutely love them. Some I haven't noticed before, and I didn't realize that a few were out of the downtown area. I teamed up with my geobuddy mwdaley for her first WhereIgo, whoop whoop. We both had quite a time trying to get the cartridge to load on her Android phone, so we just opted to use my iPhone and go on our way. This was an epic one for a first time WIG cache for sure. Some questions I was a bit confused about, as it didn't seem like there was actually a question, just a random guess. But we eventually made it to the final and inked the log. I picked up the fun piggy trackable left by 3 Williams Kidz and one of their pathtags. Thanks for creating a very fun WIG with these super cute scuptures. This is probably the most driving I've done for one to date. Thanks for the geo-fun EJKPBR, happy caching!

Favorite point !
I teamed up with my 18 year old son Leik (pronounced "Lake") this morning; he navigated, I drove and we both walked whenever we needed to park and get close enough to have the question pop up on the app on my phone.
Cartridge worked great -- no problems at all.
Found all of the Humpty Dumpty's, and put our geo-stamp on the logsheet at the final. And found one of the owner's pathtags ! Retrieved that and dropped off one each of our two different pathtags.
And dropped off a new trackable of ours -- Chris P. Bacon, which is a little piggy.
Bacon and eggs -- oh boy, now that's funny there
TFTC !

Youza that was a lot of time, Driving & gas for a Wherigo. But the sculptures were quite different. Good thing downtown was quiet on this holiday.

I had one day to cache around the Springs, to pick up priority new caches since I haven't been down here for a couple years. I saw this pop up, and I love WIGs, so I decided to give it a shot. It ended up being much more straightforward than I was expecting and I really enjoyed seeing all the eggs! Nice quick find at the final. Thanks for the fun Wherigo adventure, gets a Favorite from me!

Berb57 and I had an enjoyable time with this WIG. I love the eggs, had no idea there were so many of them. It was amazing to me that on a couple of them, I had to walk 50 feet or more past the egg to get my screen to change, but other than that, this was an eggceptional WIG!

{STF} Trea and I had a goal today--this WIG. We drove all over COS--from downtown to near St. Francis Hospital (I waved to my daughter who works there). We did each step and successfully signed the log. This was very similar to Adventure Labs with a bonus at the end. Loved all the eggs, but not all the driving. Thanks for placing this WIG for our pleasure.

**FTF**Got the notice on this new Wherigo as I was out running errands. There are so few new ones and I do like those egg sculptures so I headed downtown to get started. Didn’t realize how many of them there were or that they had names! Fun time but had to stop at home to get my portable charger cuz I was running out of phone juice. Luckily it was right on the way to the last one. Thanks EJKPBR for the new Wherigo and the FTF prize. I’m going to drop it in Peru when I’m there next week.
