About This Cartridge
A timeless journey through historical Laurel Hollow Zoo. Announced in 1905 and left mostly untouched since 1912 'til 2009. Somewhat newly rediscovered and being restored as a picturesque modern day park. Offering a storybook hike through an enchanting Appalachian wilderness filled with seemingly ancient towering trees and whimsical vines. Wildlife is abundant throughout this amazingly preserved little secret of WV. Once again, becoming the pride of the community. A place not easily forgotten that you will look forward to sharing with others.
I hope this Wherigo cartridge spurs the imagination for a timeless quest of this parks unique story. Note that this wilderness park sits exactly in the center of the town of Newell, WV , 26050.
Starting Location
Information Kiosk at the park's western entrance along Rt2, Newell, WV 26050
Ample parking is available nearby.

This ran flawlessly on my Galaxy s8 - very quick and responsive everywhere we went. My friend was using an iphone and it was much slower, plus didn't want to boot up in the 1st zone so she had to keep walking back and forth for about 5 minutes until it kicked in.
This was wonderfully thought out and I highly recommend it. The only problem was that like so many others before us we couldn't find the physical container at the end to sign the log so had to claim it as a DNF. Other than that, it was great. Would have given it 5 stars if we could have found the final, but have to give it 4 stars anyway as it was so interesting.

Very well done. I often stay away from these because I've had a lot of trouble with cartridges in the past, but this one worked great. Thanks.

This one was one of my favorite wherigos we have done. We would have missed this park as we passed through and the history lesson was interesting too.
