A quest indeed!  I'm relatively new to caching, and this was something I hadn't experienced before.  Wow, what a way to use technology.  Even 11-year-old myblizzy, who's grown up surrounded by electronic devices that would have seemed like magic when I was a kid, was amazed by this. (We also used the Android app, free version - not sure we used it right, but it got us there).

We had no trouble finding the first stage, once myblizzy looked around a little.  At stage two, there was a line of text directing me to do something - I thought it meant at that location, and was quite confused, but at least got to see a couple of fearless rabbits up close.  Another setback at stage 3 (or was it 4? I lost count somewhere), where some muggle girls were playing on the sidewalk near the reference point.  Uh-oh, I didn't want to pull up too close (Stranger Danger!), but at a distance I judged prudent, the technology wasn't registering.  So we turned the Cache Cab around and tried the other side of the street.  Luckily, it worked there.

Eventually we made it to the cache.  The container had a small amount of water in it despite its waterproof appearance.  I poured out a teaspoon or two.  The log was a tad damp but not soaked, so we made sure both its baggie and the container were tightly closed.  Quest Complete!
