We had so much fun running back and forth along the riverwalk. We had saved this geocache for last and had bad experiences in the past with poorly conceived Wherigoes. But this one was creative and performed as it should.
The characters were well played and the lessons they taught us were worth the time. We would have missed otherwise.
Only had a few glitches when we forgot to finish an action and tried to perform tasks after we left the area. This caused us to input in the name of that theater about ten times... All our fault though. Thanks so much for keeping this one on the map.

In town for a conference and started this one last night but got hung up early on by one of the questions (plus a large amount of muggles and fading light). I restarted this morning thinking it would be quicker (yes) and cooler (no).
This was a very well put together Whereigo and I enjoyed it thoroughly! I took my time in reading everything and still finished in just over an hour. I had a nice bicycle policeman eyeing me at the final but I waited him out. Like a previous finder I had to go back to the cache page and read the hint before making the grab. Great cache and favorite point for sure! TFTC!!

Nice journey along the Riverwalk. Definitely a must do -- but pick your times carefully, as crowds would make this one very tedious. I think our completion time was maybe on the order of 1.5 hours, though I wasn't watching specifically, as we occasionally strayed for an extra cache or two. It played without issues on my Samsung Galaxy S3, and zone navigation worked fine. I think only once did I have to try to get to a more accessible place to get the zone entry to occur. I did get the same question a couple of times as it seemed to pick up my movements as leaving and entering a zone. Nice combination of history with a few minor problems to solve.

Played this one yesterday and today, but got interrupted near the end. That's okay. Got the treasure and had fun in the quieter sections of the Riverwalk. Love it. Thanks for sharing this area with us! Probably one of my favorite Wherigos to date.

We are from western NC visiting family. I wanted to do this WhereIGo since we arrived. We return tomorrow to NC so today was the day.
I persuaded my muggle wife to go along with me because I was sure the learning experience would be worth it. As she said in an a text message, she enjoyed doing this cache with me but she's not hooked. (-:
We checked out of the Drury and went to GZ to start this journey. Much to our surprise we were close to the hotel when we finished.
Oddly, the river was NOT a river, there were places where we could walk across the river. It had been lowered to allow a cleaning and repair of the infrastructure. We even saw a man working on an electric light standing on an aluminum ladder which was in some water. Thankfully we heard no zapping. It was quite odd to see a truck in the channel pulling a portable cherry picker in the bypass portion of the river. This allowed us to see a very different and interesting perspective of the RiverWalk.
Had trouble at the end because the cartridge did not save inventory to get past a specific couple. Finally learned how to redo a part of the journey and get the inventory we needed to complete the walk.
Made the find, put ink on the log and returned as found. This deserves a favorite. Thanks for the history lesson, the lovely walk, the fun and the cache. Namaste, rw (-:=

What a fantastic way to learn the history of the San Antonio Riverwalk. We have visited the Riverwalk many many times and never really gave it much attention except where to find good Tex-Mex Cuisine.
Thank you for a great adventure.
2nd WhereIGo completed. Thoroughly enjoyed both.

Played this with Alamo Ranger, and the cartridge worked great on my iPhone. Very nice walk along the Riverwalk. Thanks for putting this together.

This was my very first wherigo cartridge to attempt and complete, and it was awesome. There was a definite learning curve on figuring out how to make sure and complete all tasks and hit all waypoints, in order to advance to the next level of locations. There is some construction on The Riverwalk, so you will have to maneuver around that, but overall, this is an amazing trek!
I incorporated this hunt into my morning run, and it still took me a couple of hours, so plan accordingly, and it is better to attempt when there is little pedestrian traffic and when it is cooler during the summer months. TFTC!
