Tour completed and cache found by J & K of Martin 5 and K's girlfriend, SS!! The three of us cached in Farragut State Park together back in August and had a great time!! After learning of this new Wherigo in the park it was suggested we get together again to find some of the newer caches in the park!! After seeing MntGoat50's log of his device test, we also did one of our own by running both J's Oregon and iPhone (Verizon)!! The Oregon was the champ and picked up the codes quickly every time at at each waypoint!! The iPhone unfortunately didn't fair so well, as it had a hard time at several of the points determining that we were really there!! There were a few locations where we would have to walk in circles around ground zero before it would register that we had arrived!! We finally discontinued using the iPhone at the 2nd to the last waypoint, as after walking a 100 foot radius at and around ground zero we could not get it to register closer than 41 feet!! Obviously Verizon does not have a very good signal in that part of the park!! That being said, the Oregon was the bomb and lead us straight to the final cache!! Thanks for the history and the adventure!!
