Geocache Description:

This Wherigo was originally planned to include only neon signs, but instead we ended up with a walking tour that creates a small loop but still includes a few cool vintage neon signs. There is a museum, a playhouse, and an historic statue as well. All stops are fairly close together, and should make for an interesting and pleasant stretch of the legs. If temperatures are up there, bring water and wear a hat.


There are other caches nearby. Final is a nano, so please write TINY. BYOP.

The coordinates listed are for parking and start point. Bring quarters for the metered parking on the south and west side of the park. There are 8 locations plus the final, and total walking distance is about 0.81 miles if you walk to the final, and 0.68 miles if you pop in your car for that last stop.

Obey all parking restrictions downtown, as there are many. See parking waypoint.

Tips about Wherigos: 1) As with all Wherigos, make sure you have uploaded the most recent version of the cartridge before you go. Often COs make changes to the cartridge and if you have the older version you will have glitches when you go to use it. So just upload it again the day you plan to run it. 2) If you are at a zone and there is a glitch of some kind, step 30 feet away and try to enter the zone again. 3) Save frequently during cartridge use. 4) To learn more about Wherigos: http://www.wherigo.com/

To play the cartridge, you will need a Wherigo-enabled device. (For Andriod the app is called "WhereYouGo") info here
