Played this cartridge through Geocaching.com. Not sure how to mark it "complete" though. We have a code but can't seem to find where to enter it?

I was going to Syracuse for the Big East snowmobile show so I went out early planning on doing this wherigo before going to the show. The cartridge worked really will up to the final stage. I had trouble getting it to hit zero because it was physically not possible to go any further. I waited there a while and eventually it triggered so the cartridge could complete.

I'm pretty much the main "Wherigo Guy" in WNY, so when I saw this one get published, it went to the top of my "must do" list. My job sent me to Cortland today, and on my way back I stopped off to run the cartridge and make the find.
The cartridge ran flawlessly on my Garmin Colorado 300, and the explanations at each stage were clear and concise.
All in all, an excellent Wherigo cartridge.
I made my way to the final going in the hard way, and coming out the easier way.
Really earned the favorite point!

I do have a couple suggestions for the cartridge for the owner, which I will send to him via email.

I wish there were more of this type around, sad to think that the two closest ones are in the Watertown area and that I'm the author.

Completely forgot to log this in here, played it on wednesday, now today being its sunday I figured I'd finish the log haha. Was a interesting game though the woman walking her dog must have thought I was a lunatic. staring at my phone wandering in circles. Fun challenge though. if this wasnt the only one in the area I'd want to do another. Thanks for the interesting time!

Nice Whereigo! This was my first one and what a doosy! Not only because the final proved a bit difficult to open, but the story of what happened while I was searching.... go to gc.com to find out!
