This little adventure will challenge you to operate on a steam railroad.
Time: about 20-30 minutes
Distance: about 0.6 miles

At the end, the cartridge will show you an unlock code. After that, it will help you get back to the start, if you need.

You will be walking through residential neighborhoods, and you should stay on public paths through the whole time. The final is not in the residential area. While you may be able to do this after dark, it is not recommended at night.

To get the Geocache, you must play the related Wherigo cartridge.

Note: when you enter some zones, you will see items in the area. Once you see them, you can use them without having to walk right up to them.

The tasks area at the bottom of the main screen will tell you what you currently need to do. Due to limitations with some players, there is no detail for clicking on the task. The title of the current task says it all.

It has been reported that the unlock code generated by the Wherigo.com site when you download the cartridge does not always work. I've been told that the code is too long and you should enter only the first 15 characters. That also does not always seem to work. I suspect it is due to the downloaded version. Please make sure you pick the correct version of your player. The best way to unlock is to upload the save file. Let me know if you have any issues. Also, you can log the Wherigo page without the unlock. The unlock is just to get the count on your ID, and is not required for this cache.

If you do the cartridge with someone else, that is fine! You can share the unlock code/save file as needed - as each person logging actually did the cartridge adventure!

Have fun!

We made this funny one yesterday. Today we looked for the cache container again. We found only some pieces also from the logpaper. A new container we didn't find. But it was funny and we thank for this WIG .

Thanks so much for all the smiles! We so appreciate the effort to place caches:)

That was a well done Wherigo. Thanks so much for all the effort to get this out there. Nicely done.

We are up from Bend Oregon for a little work and a little Geocaching.

May the road rise up to meet you!
May the wind be always at your back!
May the sun shine warm upon your face!

Found using Cachly on our iPhoneX

Out geocaching with Hammerhead53. We decided to do a couple of Wherigo caches. The log was damp; I put in new log and new baggie. We signed it H53 & C58. Thanks for the cache!

Apparently I am no longer able to find a cache without being accompanied by the lovable and always cheerful herndonrd. Today was no exception, as I was out and about caching with herndonrd simply because I make him look good. He typically finds the caches while I look in all the wrong places. This was one of those rare occasions where after I read off the description and/or prior logs, he listened to me and we worked together. We made it through each stop quickly and found the final after reading the logs and expanding our search area.

Hooray!

After we did the whole sign and replace thing we celebrated our victory by heading back to the car and driving off to another one. Thanks for the fun hide and for getting me outside on such a beautiful day.

P. S. No animals (humans or otherwise) were harmed in the writing of this log.

Out caching with FeartheFish today which means a lot of "pull over here" and now I am signed up for 2 (or is it 20?) new challenges that I've never heard of. Nice walk around the neighborhood and along the trail. FtF ran the wherigo on his phone. TFTC!
