This Wherigo will take you on a short trip through the history of Allegheny County's jails. On the Just Visiting side, of course... Thanks for playing the very first Wherigo in Allegheny County, PA!

About This Cartridge

This Wherigo will lead you on a driving or walking tour of the two jails. At the end of the cartridge, geocache GC283K9 awaits!

This cartridge may be done anytime, but parking is easiest and cheapest if done after 6 PM on weekdays or on weekends.

For a truly green caching experience, you can take the bus downtown, or the "T" to the First Avenue stop, then walk or bike the cache from there! 

Starting Location

If you plan to walk or bike, you should park close to the "Jail Trail", which runs along I-376, or use the bus/T. If you are driving, you can drive past most of the zone features without stopping.

My daughter brigitte15 and I made quick work of this one. It took about 15 minutes - we drove. What fun to see both the old and new jails. It ran flawlessly on my Galaxy s8 phone, I got the unlock code, and we signed the log.

Very fun time in the wintry elements today. All of the waypoints were right on the money and the CO has added some helpful hints along the way to make this very enjoyable for the user.
