A number of weeks back, I set my goal to whack some Looneys at the Carp Fairgrounds. Having my daughter with me helped. I started the Wherigo app, gave her the iPhone, and said "Run!". With some guidance as I trailed behind her, and a couple of games later, we were rewarded with a game-winning score of 518 in Looney mode. We got an unlock code that didn't work on the Wherigo site, and the "final" coordinates were not coughed up. After some correspondence with the CO, this was identified as unexpected behaviour. (Thank you for providing the final coordinates!)

A few nights ago, I ventured out after work. I parked in a nearby parking lot and noticed that the light was fading, so I went into my trusty bag of tools to find that someone had filched my flashlight. Dang. Well, fading light is better than no light, so off I went. After searching around for a few minutes, I was thinking it would be a bust without the light. But I walked around GZ one more time and finally spotted the cache.

The game cartridge has since been updated, so I will download it and try it again (meaning make my daughter run) so I can officially get the final coords from the cartridge.

Thanks for the fun, Starkiller_!
