Was in the area to do some regular caches and decided to do a Wherigo cache . You cannot say I didn't do much walking today. Been in these woods caching about 20 years ago and seen many of the features in the area but not as many as today. The final is in rough shape and the container needs some TLC the log was wet but i dried it off and placed it in a new baggie. really enjoyed my first Wherigo.

Struggled to open this - in fact we walked .7 miles into the woods, then finally got the cartridge to open and had to walk back to the parking lot to start. However, extra miles never hurt us, and it was worth the extra effort as we thoroughly enjoyed playing this. We love this place, and it was a great way to revisit.
I would love a Geocaching Technology class to help me learn all the ins and outs - I have the completion code but it won’t unlock here, so I can’t complete as asked. Since no one has commented here in many years, I may not be the only one with issues! Thanks so much for the adventure!

No problems loading opening or logging this cartridge with my old Garmin Colorado. Great area for a long walk, we enjoyed following the trails.

Seems like getting the cartridge unlocked was almost as difficult as playing the cartridge. Persistence finally paid off and got it done. Cartridge was very well planned and executed. It even used some feature that I hadn't seen previously. Bumble! has done it again! Thanks for the fantastic tour through Dogtown. Looking forward to my next Bumble! wherigo.

Thanks for another cool Wherigo and tour of the boulders. However, upon completion the GPSr saved and shut down without completing the cartridge and/or generating the completion code. So I can't unlock it on Wherigo.com. When I try to start the cartridge from safe there is nowhere to go and nothing in my inventory, I guess all the zones are inactive as it happened at the end of the game. The GWS file seems to be missing the completion tag.
