Finally was able to check this off my to do list. took the kids down to the DIA and played the cartridge on the way home. All of the Zones fired with no problems.

SL at 3:55 pm. Failed to complete three of the tasks yesterday when both our Smartphone and iPad (...brought our NEW iPad3 with us as backup) failed to fire up at two of the three Zones farthest from the posted coords. Figuring the tall buildings may have had something to do with it, we drove back out today to give it another try. Another three and a half hours of driving in circles down one-way streets waiting for each of the locations to fire up, we finally completed the other two Zones, having discovered where we had gone wrong. Can't believe we forgot to turn on BOTH gps functions on the phone (...android requires activating both phone and app gps functions?!), which of course we only discovered after driving all the way back to the posted coords thinking it would somehow activate the cartridge? Located (after a bit of a search) and turned on the second gps function (...the wherigo app) Zone 1 fired up immediately...then quickly made our way back to Zones 3 and 4 to give them another try. All Zones now completed, completion code and coords punched in, we were off to grab the final. Two days and five simple tasks that should have only taken us a couple of hours, start to finish, since three of the Zones were fairly close together, took us approx. 8 1/2 hours to complete (...driving time included), ended up being one of the most rewarding and CHALLENGING wherigo's we've completed to date. GREAT JOB Khan!

I've been wanting to do this one for a while. I knew the locations, but didn't have a reason to drive around and pick them up.

The key turning points was getting a Wherigo player on the iphone and some meetings I had around town. That let me drive around and pick up the triggers easily. Picking up the ones downtown was a bit crazy due to all the construction and temp one way streets.

Getting the cache was something else. I'm glad that my best opportunity was while doing the "50 State Trivia" series with bretina. I was going to do it first, but was running a little behind. Luckily that let me save it for last to cap off my run to 60 caches!

TFTC. Thx for helping to reach 60 in a day. Thx for letting me add one more whereigo to my list. I'm on #2. :)

Finished this up after figuring out how to get it to run on my Droid. I'm a sucker for new icons. :) I got it running a few weeks ago and grabbed to location close by however, we waited till today when Eshinol wasn't feeling well so we just had to drive. Thanks a lot for putting this out.

This has been on our to-do list for a year now. Today we were headed down to the boat show and decided this would be the day to get this done. The cartridge was flawless, and we completed each zone without even stopping the truck. Very well done!

This has been on our to-do list for a year now. My son and I were headed to the boat show so we decided this was the day to get it done. We passed a couple zones on the way down, and the rest on the way back. After completing the cartridge, it was just a short drive to the final. Very well done!

I liked the idea of the wherigo cache, and glad I got to try one. This particular run wasn't too bad for me since I live right between two of the destinations, and a quick trip downtown allowed scooping up the other three. However, the software I'm using on my Android phone required me to re-visit two of the locations, but that's the price you pay when breaking in new tech. Thanks for the W!

Despite a bit of a learning curve for the start of this, it went extraordinarily well!
After nearly a dozen or so calls between LadyBee4T, GT.US and me as we journeyed across the area trying to meet, we finally got it together..with cars in three different places over several miles.
We piled into LadyBee's car, got all settled in and buckled into place. Then I turned on the game..only to realize that we really needed to be fighting near rush hour traffic for the first several stops. She wanted nothing to do with that...so after a couple hilarious minutes we unbuckled and moved all our gear over to GT.US's car, rebuckled and settled back in.
And let me tell you...that woman can drive!
We completely polished off all five stages in 45 mins!
Laughing and waiting with bated breath for each stage to fire...we cheered with each little green checkmark. We also celebrated with fine chocolates with each stage too....just to make it even better!
Yup, we suffered for the sake of caching.
With the final checkmark done, we found the final and had one more piece of chocolate.
What an absolute riot we had!
Thanks for the fun!
Nurse Nanna, who still can't believe that we did it!
And by the way....no laws were broken in the retrieval and rush to do this! We just hit the roads and did it extremely efficiently!

Finally finished this adventure up after many months. I finished the older cartridge and went to the final zone, but need to get the update coords for the cache. A lot of fun and much easier than the GR version. Thanks for the hard work. -SLT
