What a fun adventure! I blame any encountered tedium not on you or this cartridge, but our cell phones' poor GPS location capabilities and poorer batteries. We didn't read any previous logs until AFTER we completed it, but we can definitely relate to a number of their circumstances. This was our first time using WhereYouGo for our Androids, which seems to be a great app thus far. We had no problems with the first destination, but as we approached the second, my mom (Psych) followed her compass one way and I another. We both eventually managed to get 'inside' the required GZ for a progress update despite being well over ONE HUNDRED feet from each other. Again, not the programmer's fault at all. We decided to go ahead to destination 4, got 'inside' the coordinates, and then returned to the previous spot, deciding to finish the other task first. That proved not to be an option anymore, though. Okay, onward! Oh and THEN I got ambushed and thrown into a police van (digitally) because I "wasn't careful enough." I did think that bit to be a little unnecessary, given how undefendable it was. But what-ho, we continued on with her phone instead, having learnt from my mistake. Really liked the little twist at location 5, well done Programmer! And, finally, the Sun Ribbon. I don't know where it is but I can tell you where it isn't. I mean the digit found for this puzzle can be deduced with some simple logic. What caught us up, however, is the fact that we walked just a bit astray looking for a better angle for any 'deliveries' sign. Once we centered back on GZ, though, the option to call in the pick-up was gone. For good. Fumbled with our different options, restarted our GPS's, looked at the guard once or twice more...but nothin...until our second phone died as well. SO, back to the car, Psych drives- RIII dashes from GZ to GZ, doing all the puzzles at 10x speed until we get back to GZ6. Ahhh, successsss. (raises hands in triumph making roaring-crowd sounds while mom shields her face with a book as to Morse out SOS to any passersby). Parked right by the cache's coordinates and made the find in no time. Although- an addendum - It would be wise to disregard a certain numerical clue found when correctly answering a question about cameras. I thought it best not to move the cache, but it was a notable smidgen off the coords when we found it. For good reason.

To summarize, it was great to do this little art history walk on such a beautiful day. Very well put together, I hope all Wherigo's are equally clever. Favorited!
