The Dog, the Chicken, and the Grain
This Wherigo cache recreates the familiar puzzle of the farmer returning home from market with her dog, a chicken, and some grain. Upon reaching the river, the farmer has a problem: how to get all three and herself safely across the river when she can only take one of the three with her in the boat at a time.
If she leaves the dog and the chicken alone, the dog will eat the chicken, and if she leaves the chicken alone with the grain, it will eat the grain. Either way, the farmer -- and you -- lose.
Your task is to get all four safely across the river. While you may use the bridge as a substitute for the boat (or may use an actual boat if you have one), the same rules apply: only one item may be transported at a time.
Assuming that you complete the puzzle correctly, you will be rewarded with the coords for the geocache hidden nearby.
Wherigo Information
For those who haven’t yet experienced Wherigo, the Wherigo website describes it as “a platform that allows you to build location based GPS experiences on your computer and play them in the real world.” Depending on the Wherigo cartridge, you can play interactive games, take self-guided tours, or participate in a number of other experiences. And as here, you can even find geocaches.
A Wherigo geocache involves playing a Wherigo “cartridge” on an appropriate app. To find a Wherigo cache, you first will need a compatible device, either a Garmin Oregon/ Colorado or a GPS-enabled Pocket PC, Smartphone, or Tablet running an appropriate Wherigo app:
Whereyougo App (Android)
Wherigo App (iphone). (Note: Shortly before this cache was submitted for publication, Groundspeak, Inc. released a new Wherigo cartridge player for IOS which hopefully resolves many of the issues with the older player).
You also will need to download the “cartridge” from the Wherigo website. The cartridge is the software containing the Wherigo adventure. The cartridge for this particular Wherigo geocache is available here
