Movie Mayhem Take 2 Yackandandah, Victoria, Australia

Missing… checked today

Too many continous dnfs. Probably missing. Maintenance or archive required.

Also a dnf for this hide..

May be well hidden or may be in a pile of dirt. Would be good to get confirmation either way as it would be great to solve this series.

Up in the hills grabbing this series but like the previous lookers, we had no luck as it appears to be under a pile of dirt and debris after the grader had cleared the road. Needs a check by CO.

Another 2 sets of eyes today and we have all come to the conclusion that this one has been buried by the grader when the road was fixed up for the fuel reduction burn. I hope this isn't the case...but looks likely given all coords have been bang on for the series. Have msg the CO. Awaiting a response...

Had a really good look for this one and no luck.. Will look again when we come back for the rest of the series. Not sure where we didn't look.... hoping the road graders haven't heaped dirt on top of it. Few trees down too but look like they've been down a long time.

Just about parked on top of this one!
Nice big container.
This is a nice part of the world. We are surprised to find the tar road, though it is getting old and potholed.

Found with Khanman47, TFTC RoJenTil.

Two down, 4 to go. Another interesting puzzle, more bits of the coordinates revealed. TFTC RoJenTil

A long weekend and another trip with the geo 'rents and geobro'. What a cool way to spend Easter
Headed for Albury for 2 nights and then Bendigo for 1 night and we took each day as the caches came. A turn here, a turn there, a dirt track here and there and miles and miles of bitumen [^]
LOL, I've just seen one of geobro's cache logs and it reads very much like mine
Although he forgot to mention that he not so kindly shared his viral germs with geomum and I! [xx(]
Today (day 2) I found 76 caches and had 4 DNFs

Unless mentioned otherwise, please know that your cache and log book was in good condition.

Now this is bloody fantastic caching at its best! [^] [^]
Bush tracks, great caches with an interesting theme, a puzzle at the end that anyone can solve and lots of laughs and memories as the questions were answered.
The very high highlight of our day which is probably going to be the highlight of the trip [^]
Thankfully between us we had enough phone reception and enough memories to be able to solve the puzzle while finding these caches so we sure as anything weren't going home without finding it, too!

Wow - we absolutely loved this series, which we visited in the dark. TFTC.
Favourite awarded.

We're off on a four day geofamily (Geodad: moneydork, Geomum:Tounga, Geosis: locus cache and geobro: ME) road trip adventure heading to Albury and Bendigo. A lot of miles were covered, many sights seen, lots of laughs, mirth and merriment during the trip. Oh, we found a few caches along the way as well.

Teamwork came to the fore in this series. I'm not a movie buff but as an administrator I collated the information and 'calculated' the final coordinates. The others identified the movies and provided the right answers.

Thanks for the cache and series RoJenTil.

Found on a nice sunny day. Easy find but the March flies were giving us problems! Will endeavour to solve the puzzle.

Found on a pleasant afternoon with young boogoose in the 4wd. Cool hide, great concept. Text book park and grab! Tftc rojentil.

Nice easy find

Found on the 30th August with indianagleeson however I suffered technical difficulties and was unable to log
Tftc

Spending the day caching with indianagleeson & shellumbus. This was was a quick park and grab, lucky there was no one coming the other way tftc

TFTC!
Found with Shellumbus and RedLeader&Fox2.

Misty and wet

After tree climbing we started to make our way down hill. this cache was super close to the track so we stopped and grabbed in quickly. I have taken note of the hint for one day in the future when I get to finish these caches

Quick little find of a good sized cache. All good nice and dry. I collected the required info and headed off to find some more on the very humid day TFTH

The first find for this series. Looking forward to the rest of them. SL TFTC

#1273 4th of 33 finds today as we enjoy a day off work in the Yak area. We absolutely loved doing the Movie Mayhem series, collecting the well constructed and fun clues along the way whilst enjoying the drive and walks in the bush. We parked the geojeep near #3 and stretched the legs by doing #4, 5 & 6 on foot, the others were completed by driving as close as possible. Because we did them out of order and then had phone reception issues we didn't calculate the final until we were down in Yak township. As a result we will complete the final another day soon. All hides were located without issue and all in good condition. As an appreciation to how much we enjoyed the series and the puzzles along the way to calculate the final, we are awarding each cache with a fave point. Thanks and well done RoJenTil.

Quickly found this one, the first in the series for CybergranV, Muggle Hubby and Sol de lune as we took on the hills and the tracks in the x-trail. SDL had the movie title worked out and we were on our way.
Thanks RoJenTil for the clever props and the series

A good afternoon for a movie matinee, but I'd much rather be out in the bush with the great team of Sol de lune, Bogonghazy, and Muggle Hubby at the wheel, to see if we can find the Movie Mayhem series. And mayhem it certainly was because we missed #1 and started with Take 2. Nevertheless progress was made and we continued merrily on to Take 3. Thanks RoJenTil for bringing us up here, wonderful scenery all around us.
Please excuse the late log entry as I have finally won the battle with my new NBN connection - it only took a week and a bit to sort out my lost internet

After a morning run around the hills behind the site of the Camp and Cache event, as well as a few other spots, the team of Cybergran V (with muggle husband who doing all the driving), Bogonghazy and myself headed up to try our luck with this series. All 6 caches were found without issue and the movie clues sorted, with one small adjustment at one of them....it was Ice Age at first...but the rest of the team convinced me it was something else...which turned out to be totally correct.....so glad we didn't stick with my idea.

Enjoyed all the locations, although Bogonghazy might disagree about number 3 (I think it was) but what's few blackberry scratches when you're having a great time hey......and the driving was first class....especially for number 1 in the series, which we did out of order, but that is another story to be told in that log......

Thanks for this one RoJenTil....cool idea for a series....

[:(!] Took two of my geograndsons for an afternoon of caching and this was one of them, parked the geoKa as close as possible to GZ and walked in from there, on arrival at GZ it was a race to see who was the first to locate its where abouts, unfortunately it was not me but one of the geograndson and in a matter of minutes it was in hand.

I like it

Another one of the list

This was our goal today to complete this. Found with lost wanderers and vk3gs&cc

Found 31/8/14 with the lost wanders and kiara001

It was a goal to find the whole series on this lovely afternoon. What a well thought out series in a great location. We cache was so exciting to find with each one being totally different. Found with kiara001 and vk3gs&cc. Thanks for putting the work in RoJenTil.

Burn notice has been removed for this area so ready to go again

Sorry guys but due to planned burns by the C.F.A. in this area, between late March and the end of May, we have had to remove this cache for storage until its safe to return.
Hope you all understand and we look forward to replacing all of them when the danger has passed.

What a great series of caches and very well themed.
We were out and about with DazRascal doing some cache maintenance nearby and made use of the 4WD to grab this series which Daz was more than happy to do again.

The Geokids were armed with swaps and the iPhone and they soon spotted the cache.
Many thanks for the great caches!
Clue collected and off to the next.
Cheers guys.

Chose this one first because it was nearest to Ewarts Rd. Love the container and easily identified the clue. SL at 3.35pm #2011 Took: Big Al the koala TB to continue his journey. We are hooked, so it is off to the next! TFTC RoJenTil

# 4137 Found and logged with Team Robins at 6:04:00 PM
One of 51 caches for a day of caching around the HSS trail
Thanks for the cache RoJenTil

# 7397 Found on the second leg of our S.K.I.D.R.O. adventure,
on a stopover at Beechworth for a few days.
Joined up with lgoody again for a trip to Yack and back.
No sign of any muggles around up here in this weather and a quick find.
Thanks for the cache RoJenTil,
Roostaman.

Still on the move today, will probably come back for the rest another day.
Going to have to put my thinking cap on for these clues!
Tftc

The GPSr was being a little fickle at this G.Z. and we overshot the mark twice before it settled on a fairly close spot to park the car and find the cache. Once again we photographed the clue before heading on.
TFTC.

Robmc slowed enough to let me jump out and find this one. Thanks again

Nothing like a series to get you motivated. Nice one thanks.

Just a cheeky little drop in as we cruised past. 2 down...

with a early start to the day my plan to grab the Movie Mayhem cache`s found this one 1st , took a pic of the clue , and grabbed TB to move along cheers tftc

# 3971. After Rob arrived from Melbourne we decided to head this way and try to find a few. Sure glad I wasn't trying to do these in my very low Mazda6.

This was a much easier drive once back on the main track and quite an easy find too. Sussed the clue, took photo to aid us and continued to the top of the hill. Good work on this clue too. Sighted but left TB as I have already had it in my possession. TFTC

A beautiful day, so after my trip north, we nipped out and knocked off a few Movie Mayhem caches before dinner.
We thought that if I was late getting up here, that we could just come out and grab this one as it looked to right next to the sort of sealed road.
And it was. Not where I first looked, but as I turned back to the car - there it was.
Thanks, Robmc.

#4573 Take #2 This area was very familiar to us as we explored it with our very first 4WD which was a 1964 Cruiser - whose windows would self wind down . Enjoyed driving back then, have enjoyed it in the intervening years and still do now. However Ewarts Road could certainly do with some new bitumen . Another well hidden cache was soon located by Dad and the clue obtained. Our thanks to RoJenTil for the cache and the series in such a nice area. Cheers

Took: Nothing
Left: Traveling to the homeland TB

#2552 6:12 PM

This was the last of the trads for the night, and had already driven past it twice to pick up the others unbeknown to me.
This was where I discovered my earlier mistake of incorrect coords in the gps, this turned out to be the easiest to get to when I initally thought it was the hardest to get to. That will learn me
With clue worked out, it was now just a matter of putting the last bits together to go find the final mystery.

TNLN, TFTC, Cheers.
