An informational and historic walking tour of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Welcome to San Francisco's most famous landmark, the Golden Gate Bridge. This Wherigo cartridge takes you on an informational and historic tour of the area. Plan to spend approximately 2 hours in the area on and around the bridge to complete the stages of the cartridge before heading to the final container. You will be required to answer 25 questions related to the Golden Gate Bridge. Total walking/biking distance is approximately 3 miles, starting at the Golden Gate Bridge Pavilion and going along the east sidewalk across the strait to the north tower.
The terrain rating has been listed as a 2.5 due to the distance involved, but all stages, including the final container, are along paved walkways and are fully handicap-accessible. The main route along the east sidewalk of the bridge may be walked or biked, though accessibility for both options does vary since bicycles are only permitted on the west sidewalk at certain times and the bridge is closed to pedestrians after dark.

Completed that nice and mighty cartridge today but was unfortunately too blind to find the cache. I am pretty sure I looked at the correct beige thing, maybe it was the mugglemania (one guy digging for hours in his trunk parked right in front) or that cache blindness I sometimes have.
But at least I can log here to thanks for the nice and interesting bridge tour.
Was here beginning of the millennia so in the pre-selfiestick area. Have seen lots of other bridges in the meantime but that one is still my favorite!

Completed with 3rdflrkc. What a great WIG. We had a great time walking the bridge. Took in some great sites along the way, had the Sea Princess Cruise Ship pass under us. Excellent job on putting this one together.

Though Papa EGTH had completed this cartridge with our friends Team Pluto last month, he joined me on the walk today. It was a gorgeous day and the walk was lovely. I played it on my Oregon and I'm in the habit of saving after every zone in case of cartridge crashes (learned that the hard way with other Wherigos), but I had no issues with this one. We had several helicopters fly under the bridge, which I don't think is legal, and had to dodge some illiterate bike riders who ignored the No Bikes sign at the south end. At the North Tower, we spotted some dolphins, a sea lion, and a harbor seal far below us. We could even spot the Farallon Islands way off in the distance. Thanks for this Wherigo!
