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.Kovuisking wrote: 1-The Amazing GeoRace - GC3PM3R - 5 / 4.5

Re: Running around to complete my Grid
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.coupleocachers wrote: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.

Re: Running around to complete my Grid
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.Sue-Cat wrote: Can the wherigo progress be saved at each stage?

Re: Running around to complete my Grid
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.Sue-Cat wrote:Gotcha. Thanks for those pointers!coupleocachers wrote:When we tested it before launch we did it in phases and saved it on our Android.

Re: Running around to complete my Grid
I skipped this one the last trip because of the tree climbing attribute 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.coupleocachers wrote: Beau speaking since this is his baby.

Re: Running around to complete my Grid
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.Kovuisking wrote:Well it sounds like I could put this on hold and find out when it is most convenient for everyone.

Re: Running around to complete my Grid
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.

Re: Running around to complete my Grid
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.

Re: Running around to complete my Grid
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.Msmit002 wrote:So, I noticed that you are also looking for a 4.5/3.5 for your grid.
