Moxyscott fought her fear of heights to attempt this and then we fought throngs of tourists to go back and forth across the bridge.
We also fought with the iPhone cartridge, having to press OK over and over again. And to get the iPhones to register as "in the target zone". My Oregon worked well, so I gave up on the iPhone.
Like others, I can't mark this as complete.... The completion code isn't accepted and uploading the cartridge says that it isn't complete. Taking away 1 star because of the problems.

It was so much fun going back and forth on this spectacular bridge, by the end of the cartridge this place felt just like home.
This Wherigo had it all: mental, physical and scenery. What more can you ask for?
We are not so sure why, but neither the saved file nor the unlock code provided at the end of the cartridge are being accepted by the Wherigo website to unlock the cartridge.
We also had a couple of scares along the way when our Oregon 450 temporarily refused to load our saved cartridge.
Those few technical glitches are the only reason why we are not giving it a full 5 stars.

Guess what! I built a new boat, put everyone and the cache containers in it and rowed over the river. Well, this didn't seem to work out as wanted, so fter some studying of the rules, Biggi_H and me solved the problem one step at a time and were able to find the final container without problems, although there were tons of mugglers here today.
A great idea for a Wherigo at this fantastic location. Definitely worth a favorite point.
Thanks for the cache.

We played this fun Wherigo during our ski trip vacation to BC. What an incredibly beautiful location! We really appreciate this unique cache that brought us here.
Unfortunately we left our regular Garmin GPS devices at home but were able to run the cartridge simultaneously on both of our iPhones. There were lots of messages to acknowledge constantly, but the clever game worked fine in the background. After four trips we got the success message, cache coords, and completion code (however we mapped out on paper at the start nine moves needed - so don't know if the early finish was just because the game knew we had things figured out?). Took the TB in the cache to carry back to Geocaching Headquarters in Seattle which we visited on our return trip home.
The completion code we were given does not work to unlock the cartridge. We have screenshots of our phones that show we did indeed complete the tasks and receive a code if needed as proof.
Thanks for a great Wherigo!

After answering the first few questions my iPhone App started acting a little crazy repeating over and over that the first stage had been completed. I was able to continue playing the cartridge but had to press OK over and over again confiming that the first part was done. This persisted until I arrived and started moving things around. After that it was SMOOTH sailing (haha)
Had a lot of fun doing this one with my iPhone today. Not too many people around so the going was easy. Not sure why I'm making a tenth trip, seems like most do it in 9 but done is done. Thanks for the great fun.

WingsBC, Big AL, and I headed to the suspension bridge on a Sunday morning around 9:00 a.m. It wasn't too busy at that time. We had never done a Wherigo before and hadn't spent anytime trying to figure it out before we arrived. We set out our plan to transport Tom, Dick and Harriet (sunpeaks, WingsBC and Big AL) and the caches and managed to get the job done in 12 minutes - 9 trips (although it showed 13 steps)! As the game got going, so did the visitors to the bridge. Lots of curious looks and lots of laughs between us! We thoroughly enjoyed our first Wherigo experience! Thanks for the challenge and the great game!

I definitely wanted to complete this one during my one-day-stay in Vancouver because I wanted to have a walk in Lynn Valley anyway and I didn't played a Wherigo for a long time. So this challenge was not too difficult and the cartige was a very nice implementation of the possibilitites you have with location based games. And the scenery with the suspension bridge and the river is also very nice.
Some muggles around before I started the game, but then there was only one group left - they seemed to be a little bit astonished seeing me crossing the bridge several times...
Completion time was around 9 minutes according to the player with 9 river crossings (cartidge said 13 steps, but I'm not sure how this is actually calculated.)
Thanks a lot for showing me the area and for the game, tiefschnee-fan (from Munich/Germany)
