Played the cartridge yesterday with KBLAST. We enjoyed most of the tour! Took us to many interesting graves. We also enjoyed that there were coordinates for each stage in addition to just a zone. Also the cartridge played fine, no bugs or any other snags.
That being said, we feel this cartridge could have been set up to be done more efficiently. There was some zig zagging back in forth especially at the beginning. One of the kids in the car even commented "weren't we just here?". I was also not a fan of being sent to a penalty box for not knowing local cacher trivia at one stop. We didn't feel like that was necessary. Future non-local seekers - make sure you read the hint on the cache page before you go.
In total, we completed this in about an hour and a half when we feel this could have done in under an hour even with stopping to read the graves/signs.

Played this last weekend and it took longer than expected. Saved after every change, which was a good thing because repeatedly had to restart the cartridge.
It was a good tour of the cemetery and asked interesting questions to get next location. All questions were good except one that required recognizing and knowing local geocachers. Since I wasn't local this was purely guessing, and one was punished in the game for guessing incorrectly. The punishment required driving to another part of the cemetery for time in a "penalty box." Because it took so long we did not have time to finish it all before dark when the cemetery closed.
Came back a week later to finish up and find the final coordiates.
Would recommend, but save frequently, and learn something about local geocachers beforehand.

This is a beautiful cemetery and we enjoyed the tour. I used the Android app and found myself wandering back and forth, to and fro, up and down, trying to get the app to "zero" at the "right" spot so that the Whereigo would register the position. At least the positions were accurate once they finally locked on. Although Question #8 is easy enough for someone who has cached a lot in the local area, new or non-local cachers might have some difficulty with it. Otherwise, a lot of fun----was happy that the final didn't take very long, and was surprised to see someone else had already signed the log today. Perhaps that would explain the vehicle we had seen there earlier. TFTW!

The kids and I went out for a bit of geocaching on this gorgeous afternoon and I decided a visit to this beautiful cemetery on Memorial Day weekend would be appropriate. The cemetery was as busy as you'd expect for this weekend, but we were fortunate that the well thought out stages of this Wherigo did not take us anywhere close to the visitors who were there to spend time with lost loved ones. During our travels around the cemetery we also took some time to pause and reflect and the final resting places of some friends. Thanks for helping us learn some new things about this cemetery. We saw a few very unique grave markers and thoroughly enjoyed the visit.
It took a few minutes of hunting to spot the container at the final stage, but after signing the log, I noticed something in the soft earth just below the replaced container. I did a little excavating and discovered that the original cache container must have fallen from its original hiding spot and was pressed into some mud. I brought the container home and cleaned it up. It's in great shape as is the original log sheet. I'm happy to return it to the CO if he likes.
TNLNSL, TFTC!

This was my very first whereigo, and it was great. I've always been intrigued by them and now that i've played one I have to do more!
I did this as my #1000 cache.
Thanks for the hard work

This provided a nice tour of the cemetery. But it requires too much backtracking to be able to peacefully walk around, has one unanswerable question if you're not from the area, and for what is supposed to be a fun game, sends one to a penalty box for a wrong answer. So it is best done by driving and save the game often. The cartridge worked well in Oreo - it was the only game loaded at the time.

TFTC. This is only my second Wherigo I believe (I also made one in Indianapolis, but not quite this detailed!) and I used the Whereyougo app from the Android Market on my EVO in order to complete it. The first six zones were pretty quick and easy but at the sixth or seventh, due to my phone most likely, the screen defaulted to a spot that made scrolling down the page an exercise in caution as the "Answer" button was right where one would normally put your finger to scroll up. Zone 8 gave me the most issues since I don't know the Dayton cachers at all. I can't recall how many times I ended up back at the penalty box! To top it off, the signal apparently disappeared so I had to start all over. Thankfully I had all the answers so it went much faster until I FINALLY got the right answer at zone 8 (there was a military funeral setting up while I was over there too). It was great finding the final and adding another Wherigo to my total!
