30 and FAT! Wherigo Cache

As I was working on a new cache listing for our Centroid Challenge, I looked up and noticed the GC code assigned to the page: GC30FAT. I thought that was both funny and significant to me since I was both 30 years old and overweight.

So how could I not use that to the advantage of a themed cache? And here you have it!
This Wherigo will have you choose between using a bike, running, or walking along a path at Lemery Park. You will be timed based on your choice and must complete the course within that given time. The course is one that AddHam takes to excersize. Have fun!

What is Wherigo?

For those of you who don't know, Wherigo was created as a means to reintroduce the adventure game genre by making it easy for anyone to create and play location-based adventures in the real world. Using Wherigo, the physical world becomes the background for engaging story lines and location-specific virtual entertainment.

Wherigo is a platform that allows you to build location based GPS experiences on your computer and play them in the real world. Rather than searching for puzzle clues on a screen, you look for them in the field. Using Wherigo, you can create interactive tours, adventure games and puzzles... the possibilities are endless.
