For this Wherigo cache (the first in Waterloo region!), you will wander about aimlessly in a large open field, making a complete fool of yourself to passers-by! After about 10-15 minutes of this, you will obtain the final location for the cache (GC20P5Y).
About This Cartridge
Begin by heading to the "Start" zone, which is near the intersection of Fischer-Hallman and Columbia. From here, you will be directed to a sequence of zones labeled "Next". Try to walk in straight lines between these "Next" zones, i.e., figure out the general direction before you start walking and then keep an eye on your heading indicator as you walk.
NOTE: This cartridge is best played with tracking enabled on your GPS. If your GPS does not support tracking, you can mark a waypoint in each zone (the cartridge will display a message letting you know when to mark a waypoint).
The cache is located at N 43° 27.ABC W 080° 33.DEF. To get the values of A, B, C, D, E, and F, you must play the cartridge.
I have tested this in the field with my Oregon 300. I have noticed that sometimes the Wherigo player occasionally fails to recognize that you have entered the zone. If this happens, walk away about 5-6m and then return. I would appreciate any feedback from users of various devices.
Starting Location
Start this cartridge in the open field in the north east corner of Fischer-Hallman and Columbia St. W in Waterloo, ON.

Downloaded this one yesterday when it first came out but didn't
have time to play it.
We were doing some caching in Waterloo today and saw that it hadn't
been logged yet so what better time than now to get it done.
Started making my path though the open field with University
students walking by looking at me like I was on glue all the while
Mrs.T was sitting off to the side looking all studious-like.
After 25min. we were done. Plotted the Co-ods and off to the
cache.
It was nice to finally get a Wherigo closer to home and since I was
using the same device it was created with I had no problems
whatsoever with the stages or zones.
Thanks for the cool Wherigo.
