Just so you know, this cache is 11 stages with a lot of driving, over 3 miles of hiking, and a few puzzles to solve thrown into the mix. You'll probably need 4+ hours to complete it and the final two stages are in a Dawn to Dusk area.

Oh, I did not know about this cache. It looks interesting! Can the wherigo progress be saved at each stage? Last time I tried running a wherigo on my phone (android) it crashed when I got to stage 2. Luckily I was with someone else with an Oregon that didn't crash.

When we tested it before launch we did it in phases and saved it on our Android. You just have to make sure that you exit out and see the "Save Cartridge" message. I'd try testing it at the first stage to make sure you have the sequence right. We did a WIG once that was pretty long and did other caches in between, we thought that the WIG would still be playing in the background but it closed without saving when I opened another application.

Beau speaking since this is his baby. One of the stages requires you to print out a stage or at least have a laptop nearby and hope to gain WIFI access ;) that you will need to find the final. Lucky for this is early on.

I skipped this one the last trip because of the tree climbing attribute :D I didn't have a ladder or someone more mobile than me so figured I would be out of luck.

Ahem, yeah, I might need to bring someone along for the tree climbing part! I have managed to climb a few trees by myself though.

Well printing is out when on the road but laptop and wifi are pretty easy. Thanks for the heads up Beau.

Well it sounds like I could put this on hold and find out when it is most convenient for everyone. I would love to do this as a nice sized group! Keep me posted miss Sue-Cat.

OK... but it will be a few weeks AT LEAST before I get to SoMD to start this one... if you have a good earlier opportunity go for it. :-)

I forgot to remove the tree climbing attribute. There is no climbing tree required. I didn't get a chance to add that stage in.

So, I noticed that you are also looking for a 4.5/3.5 for your grid. Microcacher and I are looking to go after one at Leakin Park: http://coord.info/GC12560. If you'd like to make it a ream effort, we can try to meet up for that one.

More eyes is good for this one. I visited 4 times. My boss visited once and found it. The last time I came with my daughter and she found it. D'oh!! Be aware, if you come from the top of the hill, the nature center has limited hours, and they lock up the gate when they are closed. If you approach from the bottom, no gate to worry about, but a good hike up a rather steep hill.
