Wherigo adventure placed for BFL Boot Camp III event

About This Cartridge

Episode One: Meet Professor Lumens. This night time adventure will welcome you into the Order of the BFL.

You should bring a flashlight (and batteries). Dress appropriately for the weather. Due to parking restrictions, you will walk an extra couple kilometers if you visit between December and April

Warnings:
This cartridge runs very slow on Oregon units (as of January 4, 2009). I'm reworking the cartridge to use less resources, and I'll post once I have this tested properly.

Cheating Policy:
The northernpenguin WheriGo cheating policy is in effect for this cart - if you insist on cheating, don't bother busting this in the emulator. Email me for the final co-ordinates and go get your smiley the easy (less fun) way. You will be required to include "I CHEATED" in your log.

 

Starting Location

Dominion Gardens Drive, on street parking.

Wow! What a great experience!
This was only our second Wherigo so we were a little unsure how to proceed at the beginning. The first stop was a little frustrating because of this but once we figured it out we were on a roll.
The second stop was tricky but we finally saw something a little odd and found the right code. This was after a GPS reboot after the cartridge crashed when we put the wrong code in.
All was well until we got to stage 3. We stumbled around the woods for a while before we figured it out and then had some difficulty executing our task. I'm going to blame GPS bounce, but I think we may have been too tired at this point to figure it out and we left the woods with the task undone. We did get back the next night with a fresh idea (and some glowsticks) and navigated the maze the first time (although we did have an uh-oh moment when we got to where we thought we were supposed to be and nothing happened - patience was the key).

It was clear sailing from then on, although the hunt for the physical cache was made a bit trickier by the absence of the cache markers and the presence of the thorny bushes.

We got back to the car in a happy daze. Great cache. (I won't say what time we finished on either night, but sunset this time of year is just about 9pm.) TFTC.

Returned tonight with Elf to find the cache at 22:54h. We began the Wherigo many weeks ago with YoungKingKole and R@inbow. Had a blast once we hit the trails and got to navigate the maze. Unfortunately we ran out of time that night and had to return "The King" so he could catch his ride home. Tonight we were looking to stretch our legs, so why not grab the final? Found the cache in good condition, but it was very easy to spot as we approached. After signing the log, dropping off The Mohawk Brain TB and making some trades, we re-hid the cache, added some camo, and continued along the trail some more. Thanks for the fun Wherigo!

Found with thebruce0 on our second attempt in as many nights. The night before, I was in Mississauga visiting parents for the weekend, so I didn't have far to go. I met up with thebruce0 and kguppy at the starting point. I had forgotten to bring my Oregon from home, so I was borrowed my father's iPhone -- which means we were all working off iPhones. Unfortunately, the iPhone wherigo player did not want to co-operate about halfway through, so we had to call it quits. The next day when I returned home to Waterloo, we decided to come back for another attempt -- this time with my Oregon, and everything worked great.. although I think we hit every possible trap on that last part!

Thanks for the fun Wherigo! TFTC!

Our 1st attempt with a tethered netbook and GPS in June was a technical failure; but my new Oregon 450 ran though the BFLiGo challenges without much of a problem on this August weekend.

Great wherigo, which rucache and I leisurely completed over a few days in Georgetown; this time round. The first Part went without a hitch; but the construction nearby the 2nd phase stopped us on the 1st day, until we got some clarification from the CO. On second visit we replaced a missing marker; and were able to move forward.

Then the fun really started with traps going off at almost every turn. We concluded the adventure just in time, working our way through the not so minimal lush growth; as the rain started to get serious.

This was the most fun wherigo we have come across.

There was a BUG somewhere, which I am working with Greg on, that resulted in the Oregon450 failing to fire on the FINAL Unlock code entry.
It may have been caused by rushing to much, in a sudden downpour, during the final steps.

Our 1st attempt a technical failure (with a netbook and GPS) in June.

After cache4pat got himself a new Oregon 450; success at last!!

This cache was hilarious!! Lots of surprises, twists and turns. Got the cache just as the skies opened up.

This is one of my favorite caches to date!
