These are not our favorite type of Wherigos, but there are a few aspects of this one that we enjoyed including being led to Robert Frost's grave and being able to log a few benchmarks that we spotted along the way. Our technique was to have one person out and about on foot with the Wherigo player device (iPhone) and the other person in the car to follow along and provide a ride for the further zones.

The cartridge worked perfectly on my iPhone 6 plus.

Thanks for creating Wherigo caches... the world needs more.

TFTC!

Great Wherigo! My kids and I loved walking around Old Bennington and gathering the correct info! There is one mistake in the cartridge but it's doesn't effect anything. Learned a lot of local history. The cartridge worked flawlessly. Nice job!

We really liked this Wherigo. It was nice getting information about some of the local historic sites, and the fact that it took us to two other caches in the area didn't hurt either! I only wish I had read the directions and started at the museum. For some reason I had myself convinced we should park there and go to the Old First Church before we began.

Thanks!

Lots of info about the town. Well done:-) my only complaint is I never got a completion code, that is why 4 stars and not 5 :-(
