A tour of San Francisco showing movie locations and telling of San Francisco and movie history.
About This Cartridge
In this Wherigo (created using Earwigo), you will be led through a series of sites in the City of San Francisco. Each site was included in at least one major motion picture. At each location, we will give you some information of the location, some local history and some San Francisco trivia.
At each location, you will meet a famous movie star. That movie star will also share some movie trivia with you. But at a price - they will ask you to locate a certain subject (we will show you a photo of it) and you must answer a question for us based upon information found in or on those objects. In theory, every location and the path in between them is wheelchair accessible - however, it may take some time with the distance, the final requires an extremely short "off road" distance, and there are some steep hills. Here is the cache page: (visit link)
Starting Location
You are at Embarcadero 4 in San Francisco. You want to find a concrete structure made of circles. You will not be at ground-level (it is a spiral ramp up)

Without external information from geocaching.com this cartridge cannot be played.
The cartridge seems to have been a great cache, but now it is outdated. Without updates the fun playing it is greatly reduced.

This big city adventure was a lot of fun! Though it's only my 4th Wherigo log, this was the first one I had attempted and the one that made me try downloading a player. Back then it took me a while to figure out how get the app working on my Android phone. Even then after I did I had trouble finding the needed info for the very start of it.
A while later I had asked the CO to help get me started and he directed me to the an area I hadn't gone to the last time. Every stage after this was easy to find on my own and I did it without any more hints. :) Did this in about 3 or 4 trips, casually progressing a little at a time after getting off work. I had walked most of the stages except at the very end I drove to the start of my lest session with this. Had no idea how far I'd be wandering so this was a fun bit of exploring into the unknown. It also allowed me to grab a few caches in areas I'd never been to due to hectic parking situations. (But walking the areas was no problem at all!)
The very end location seemed to have the container missing, so I'll have to check with the CO if it's ok to still log on Geocaching.com. But I can log it here at least as I did get the completion code.
