Well, first I'll note that the unlock code I was given at the end did not work to unlock the cartridge on this site. But uploading the file worked well, once I realized I needed the one from the saved directory.

I wrote quite a bit on the geocaching.com site, so I won't repeat myself (too much) here. I enjoy playing wherigos, so look for them whenever I'm caching out of my territory. I was happy to see so many in this park. I wish we'd read the cache page more carefully and had stayed on the path a bit more. That would have saved us some time. I also wish that the "you've gone too far" zones were triggered much sooner. This is a cute idea for a wherigo, and I'd have happily played another. With this one under my belt, I suspect the others wouldn't take quite as long. (We were on the far end of the estimated time span on this one.) We were also lucky to have chosen a lovely day, so we saw the park at its finest, I think. It's a site worth taking us to, so thanks for that, too.

Another great Wherigo in another park - very hot today so I envied the kids splashing around in the water. Managed to find all 6 decorations without too much trouble.
Ran the Pocket PC version on my Garmin Monterra running Android without any problems. A recommended hour or so's fun.

Yahoo! I saw Santa in August! Thank you much for these awesome Wherigo's. the little man, Geo-Jesse, myself and some trackable did this together. I only had my Oregon 550t crash once, and I think it was with ornament E. Great job, Petr! We thoroughly enjoyed our time completing this WherIgo. TFTC.

Cartridge played flawlessly and each ornament find and recovery went smoothly.

Very cool addition to include the virtual "flashdrive" for user selected saves.

Keep up the great work, marcipanek... looking forward to your future endeavors!

Another great wherigo! Did a lot of back in forth on this one...people nearby must have though I was just another park lunatic. Again had a freeze on my Oregon when I picked up the first item, though this time I decided to try it on my iPhone as well as a secondary backup & had no freeze. Slowly figured out where each item was and then headed to final. Another fantastic hide!!

Realized later the freeze was probably from me having tracking on, on my GPSr
