Played the cartridge a couple of weeks ago but I could not locate the final container. It was raining and I was unprepared for the terrain. Dry and better dressed for the final. A short search and a find. Great WIG thanks for the adventure.

Played this with DeRock and the Psychic Cacher and Tom_Kat on an out of state Whirlwind Winter Wherigo tour.

It was cold but we had a good time - finding the actual cache proved to be the most difficult.

Thanks for the cache.

Found this one while out on an Illinois and Wisconsin caching run with DeRock and The Conman. We enjoyed it but had some trouble finding the final - eventually we prevailed. Thanks for the Wherigo cache.

This was really interesting and my first whereigo cache/cartridge. It worked fine for the most part but I did not see the coordinates on the screen at the end. That didn't really matter since it was the same location as the ending so we were able to find the cache after about a 10 minute search.

My mom, the kid she babysits, and I all went for this tour. We had a good time but it didn't come without a few troubles. My critique will be as positive as I can make it because overall it really was NOT a bad experience.

One of the stages stopped me in the middle of a crosswalk. There was no danger to me but who knows, maybe someone might get confused on that. The 'clearance' part (that's all I'll say so as not to spoil it) threw me off but luckily my mom figured out the answer. The last stage as I told the owner zeroed me out in the corner of a paved area. Even after speaking with the owner via phone I still had trouble in that I was trusting the GPSr. At any given time and locale near the final (once I found it) the GPSr still had me 80+ feet off. I found the cache on more of a whim to check a certain area. Dumb luck but I was glad to have any luck at all.

All told, this was still set up nicely -- good job to TeacherMike! I never really walked the downtown area before, and it was nice to see. I had no software issues that I can verify, no lock-ups. But what was weird is that on 5 separate occasions the unit powered off. It wasn't the batteries; they were fine. Whatever. We got thru it and enjoyed the tour. Thanks again TM!
