I wanted to run right out and try this one when it was first published, but this morning was my first opportunity. Decided to take the whole family: myself, SpikeswifehatestoGC, Logielime and Superspike. We used a Garmin Colorado and a couple iPhones. Found the warm up area no problem. We crossed the start line and the gps's said we were" on the clock, GO!" So we went. We gave SuperSpike the Garmin and let him go. The rest of us walked/ran behind him. As we rounded the 1 mile mark, Super texted me that he finished in 13 minutes even...but no coords(???) . The rest of us finished in under 30 mins. But still nothing on the gps or iPhones. We re read the cache page. Apparanly, when we got the cue that we were "on the clock, GO!" We forgot to push OK. ( it worked much better the second time around) Me and Super walked/ran again while the girls went and got a coffee. Our official time was 1074 seconds ( 17.9 minutes) Walked to the cache and found just as my GPS's batteries died. Dropped a TB. Great idea for a cache/Whereigo. And it worked great ( just make sure to follow the directions). This is my third WIG. My sights are now set on the Heritage. Thanx
