Great fun!!
7 solved cases, 9 failed.
Choosing an appropriately open area is key to solving this one, along with learning which locations connect to others on the game board for efficient travel during game play. Most of the 9 failed cases were due to running out of time on the game clock while trying to get to the next location if there was not a direct path available from the current spot.
Thanks for the fun. Hope to go after the final soon.

This is my favorite Wherigo ever (of the ten or so I've played). It took me a few hours but I have having fun the whole time.
Wherigos tend to be a bit clumsy to play but this was about as smooth as I imagine one can be.
The physical cache isn't too far for me so I plan to go for it at some point.

Finally!! Finally the elusive boss has been apprehended! I have played this lotsa times (oh how I wish I had one more turn) and in lotsa locations and encountered some surprise "guest" villains along the way. Nice touch. The game was fairly stable on an Oregon 300 and 450. They are prone to crashing. The downside was an inability to save the game so I could resume later. I had to pretty much restart the game from scratch each time and ensure my recharable batteries were fully charged. One time I was playing in an off leash area and a man walking his dogs saw me with my paper and pen and gps and said "not good" thinking I was from the town's planning dept out to develop the park. A couple of nights later I encountered him again and he had to satisfy his curiosity and ask what I was doing and I explained the whereigo concept and he recalled this board game and tv show. I also tried to play this on a Monterra using the Android app, but there seems to be a glitch with the distance calculations to the zones so instead of a 145ft square game board it was more like a half mile square. Too bad though because the game play seems faster on the new device. This was one of the most involved cartridges that I've played. Thanks for the great effort in producing this fun game. Aaaaaand.... reading the forum notes really helped!

There seems to be an element of luck in each mission. The first time I went after Garmin Sandiego herself, all I was given was location info but not enough identity info. The second time the travel service kept offering me all the wrong destinations. Persistance paid off, and I finally caught her despite a thunderstorm that blew up while I was playing.
Next Friday, I intend to go after the cache.

It took 3 seperate attempts for me to get this right. Finally ended up using a local football field and placed markers on the ground when I got to all the locations on the map. This made it much faster when traveling to different locations. This is my first Wherigo, probably should have started with an easier one. This was fun for me, my kids are happy that it is over.
P.S. I tried to upload the cartiridge when I was finished and had problems. Had to enter the code.
