Geocache Description:

This Cache is part of the Van or Von series of various caches in which you will need to gather info to get to the final.

Ever wanted to seek out and destroy a Dragon? This is your chance. This is a night time Wherigo with lots of adventure and twists. Good luck in your adventure.


The King is fed up. The dragon has been constantly pestering his kingdom and he has chosen you to get rid of the pesky reptile. You will need to be brave as well as smart to find the dragon and destroy it.You may even get to use the magical weapon the Grave Buster

Please pay attention to the attributes. You can download the cartrige from here

This cache is designed to be a night cache. Although it is a Wherigo there are portions that utilize regular night cache formats. It may be very difficult to do during the day. As with all night caches, safety is a concern. Make sure you have all the safety equipment required and take extra batteries. The cartridge has been tested on Oregon 450 and iPhone and iPad.

****** Attention! 15 Oct 12 The cartridge does not work on the iphone with the new iOS6. Still works great on the old iOS and on Wherigo able GPS devices. I have also updated the cartridge to rectify some issues and uploaded it today. ********

This is my first Wherigo and I've strived to make it as enjoyable as possible. For you experienced Wherigo dudes, try not to rain on my parade too much. I do welcome comments and suggestions. There is a code in the cache that you will need to input into the cartridge in order to get the completion code.

A little about the series: Normally I have a number associated with each of the caches in my series, eg Wayward #6 (Hex) or Dime a Dozen #7 (Bad Sudokus). This series will be different. As part of the fun and overall experience, you will be responsible for the numbering of the first 10 caches. This will become important when you go to the final. There are little clues throughout the first 10 caches that will help you out in your endeavour. There is even a Bonus clue cache to help you (or not) with the order. The series consists of 10 caches (which you will need to find to be able to get to the final), the final itself and one bonus clue cache to help you determine the order, for a total of 12 caches. There are 2 true puzzle caches in the first 10, 1 letterbox, 3 letterboxe types with a twist, 1 night wherigo, 3 water multis. The final and the bonus clue cache are also puzzle caches. Hope you enjoy the series.

The VanVosterbotens are a fun loving, forest dwelling people living north of Thornad. They, and their sea bearing cousins the VonHovens are berserker type warriors whose actions are often quite unpredictable. The VonHovens live south of Brimtusk and are often at sea. Both are always willing to lend a hand and help out. Sometimes their actions are so unpredictable that many people say that just like that famous entrepreneur, they’re craaaaazzzzzy!
