This cache was the first Wherigo I have ever attempted, found on Tuesday with my wife, my son and daughter, and my mum and dad (visiting from New Zealand). It was one of the favourite caches of the day for everyone (apart maybe from Toby, at one too young to really know what the heck was going on), and most definitely my favourite cache of the day.

I suspect it took us just short of an hour to complete, and must have taken ages to plot and plan! The confluence of virtual world and real world was as perfect as must ever be possible.

At the end of much wandering around virtual caverns and tunnels, speaking to goblins and wizards, pacifying serpents, running full tilt from bloodthirsty flying creatures, we finally reached the jewelled chamber where the Lost Treasure was guarded by a dragon.

The actual (real world) cache was amazing also. This in itself was awesome, and would have been an awesome traditional cache - let alone a simple multi, or convoluted Wherigo! Ruby especially loved opening the chest, and sifting through the treasures.

Thanks for my favourite cache of the day, and one of my favourite caches ever. Though it was my first Wherigo, I am now a little scared of trying another, as any Wherigo I attempt now has an awful lot to live up to! As usual, an UrsusBear cache is an incredible experience - thanks very much!
