I got to play this one before heading home from a two day trip to DC to grab WhereIGos and Webcams. Today was cold and overcast but I decided to give it a go anyway. I found the first two ok but the last couple the GPS kept not wanting to accept that it said "0" feet and give me the question. I had patience and it finally did.. Got the cartridge completed and finally found the final. Today the overcast sky had each location off about 15 feet but it was considtant so I am sure it was the skys today. Thanks for this great history of this area I will be coming back when it is open so I can actually go thru the buildings. I just got to look thru the windows today. Also thanks for keeping this WhereIGo active and the great job on the cartirdge.

This was the first Wherigo cache I've had the chance to try. Lots of history. Cartridge worked fine. TFTC

My first Whereigo. A lot of fun.
However, I was probably on the last screen when either the app crashed or maybe I accidentally hit "Did not find" and the app closed. I then found the cache but was not able to resume the game and can not get the complete for it. Fun. But I wasn't going to restep everything and try again. Going to certainly try other cartridges.

My first time playing WERIGO. Interesting history in this area. It took me a while to find the final stage, I had trouble matching up the image in the cartridge with the GZ. I found it after about 20 minutes of searching.
