INTERCACHE - Buffalo's Industrial Heritage Trail Multi-cache

Put away your GPS, and get out your smartphone. This is an interactive cache taking you on a tour of the historical signs of Buffalo’s Industrial heritage Trail on the outer harbor. Please read before you head out!

An InterCache is an interactive geocache. An intercache is a new way of creating a mystery geocache, similar to a wherigo geocache. The biggest difference is that the entire geocache can be developed, edited, and played on your mobile phone's browser with no software required to download!

First, make sure you have a compatible device. Go to www.intercaching.com on your cell phone's browser and select the test button. I recommend doing this outside for best results. You should see your current coordinates as well as the estimated accuracy. If you see something reasonable, you are all set. If you get an error, you may need to enable the GPS and other geolocation settings on your phone. You may also not have a compatible phone.

If your device is compatible, then head on over to the Link to play the game and start. At each of the stages you will be given coordinates, though you should not actually need them. There is a compass that has a red arrow pointing you the right direction as you move. You may have to walk a little bit before the arrow points in the right direction as this application does not have access to your phone's digital compass. Each stage will have some information about the location, but you do not have to find anything physical other than the historical signs until the final. Some of the stages will require you to answer a question before it lets you move on. All of the stages will require that you are within a given radius (20 feet) of the location before you can move on. Once you complete the intercache you can log this cache as found.
