Description
52 Pick-Up - Ace of Hearts
Ever played 52 Pick-Up ? I'm sure I was taught this wonderful game when I was young - the hard way - by one of my brothers (not mentioning any names So Don't Laugh)....
If you haven't heard of it - google is your friend, and who ever you teach it to may not last as your friend much longer ;-)
I'm using this game as an excuse for a new series of caches - I hope you enjoy one, several or all of them !
Ace of Hearts. As well as the playing card it has been a movie at least three times "The Ace of Hearts" (1921), "Ace of Hearts" (1975), and "Ace of Hearts" (2008), and a song by Richard Clapton "Ace of Hearts".
BYO Pen and enjoy the hunt !

Hi fitzy
A very early start to today
Met up with Budge and headed toward Launceston
Our main objective for the day was Rocherlea Trail
But on the way we would get those that were accessable
Half way through the walk we contacted the CO who met up with us and then our plans changed and we had anjoyable afternoon in the good company of Icybeetas
Really good to meet you today Ian - Thanks for sharing you arvo with us
For the day I netted 33 caches and a heap of moveables to boot
That effort saw me walk 10.40 kilometres
This cache was found quickly - it was Sainted when I met Icybeetas
Thanks for another great caching day Budge
TFTC and cheers

Grabbed from under Neville's and Boris's protection.
There were so many there that it took me a while to grab them all, lucky Neville and Boris move very slowly.....

Parties are not allowed on a school night, yet Neville and Boris have defied the rules again! Oh I guess it is technically school holidays. But I have to work tomorrow so there better not be too much noise at this movable gathering.
Thanks for the movable cache!

Dropped in to party with Neville and Boris
A day out for double points started on the Paradise Peninsula, Sandford then down to Tasman Peninsula and off to the middle of Tasmania to Tunbridge, (well almost) and back to Oatlands for tea with muggle Mum and Tassie Trekkers. That was foiled due to everything being shut on the public holiday. Had to resort to a monte carlo biscuit and thermos coffee! Good to catch up with family and swap some moveables. Now headed South.

We seem to have collected up a few moveable caches recently so decided to get some of them out and moving again. This one is out with a mate for company
About to head out to do the last of the Christmas shopping when we noticed that there were several new moveables in the area. So shopping was put on hold while we searched for and found several caches we'd seen before and some new ones. We'll move these on in the next couple of days. TFTC
This was one of the caches we found in a bag of moveables . As we have seen this cache before we will take it for a ride and move it on soon.

Journey or Destination
Game Period: 01-Dec-2018 00:00:00 to 31-Jan-2019 23:59:59 AEST
It is sometimes said [citation needed] that the game of geocaching is not about the destination it is about the journey. This game is about the choices you make in the experience of the journey or the destination.
On your entry to the game you will be asked to create a playing field with a number of ground tiles. Your playing field is a grid 20 x 20 ground tiles making a total number of 400 possible steps you can take on your journey or destination. You choose whether you want to find and follow the path or whether you wanted to meander around. A playing field is unique to each player so there is no benefit in teaming up to beat the system through brute force.
For each qualifying geocache that you hide or find during the game period you will be offered the opportunity to click on a ground tile and reveal what lies beneath. There are a number of different ground tiles that will be revealed when you click on your playing field. It should be noted that there are no punishments for clicking a tile but there will not always be the reward you were hoping for as you reveal each tile.
Dirt. The ground beneath the ground tile is just plain old brown dirt.
Dirt with some points. The ground beneath the tile is brown dirt but it has some points associated with it.
Concrete. The ground beneath is part of the pathway that will lead you on your way to your destination but has no point value.
Start. A concrete ground tile that has a blue map marker.
Destination. A ground tile that has a green map marker.
Meandering around and avoiding the path will accumulate points that will be used to place on you the ladder of wanderers. The more you stay off the path the higher the number of points you will accumulate and it will be your journey that will be the determining factor in whether you place into a prize winning position. You are free to select any ground tile to click on; they do not need to be next to each other.
Trying to find the path may mean you strike out on the dirt until you eventually come across the path and as a geocacher who can't say that this isn't a tried and true method. Once you find the path however will you try and follow the path as it changes direction around your playing field? Do you go North, South, East or West to try and find the next concrete tile along the path? If you head one way are you heading towards the start or towards the destination? When you do happen upon the destination tile then you will automatically be in a winning position.
At any point you are free to change from the journey to the destination and vice versa but you won't be able to regenerate your playing field. You are also free to keep playing as long as you have qualifying geocaches, accumulating more and more dirt tile points and placing you higher and higher on the ladder.
Qualifying geocaches fall into two categories. Finds and Hides.
A qualifying find is a geocache that meets the following criteria:
The geocache is listed at Geocaching Australia
The geocache has a hidden date prior to the game commencing
The geocache was logged by you on the Geocaching Australia website during the game period
The geocache was physically found by you during the game period
The geocache is not owned by you unless it is a moveable geocache
The geocache has not previously been found by you during the game period
The geocache is one of the following types:
Burke and Wills
Moveable (you will qualify only once for a find on a moveable geocache)
Traditional
TrigPoint
Augmented Reality
Beacon
Gadget
Multi-cache
Night Cache
Podcache
Reverse
Unknown or Mystery
A qualifying hide is a geocache that meets the following criteria:
The geocache is listed at Geocaching Australia
The geocache has a hidden date after the game has commenced
The geocache was published on the Geocaching Australia website during the game period
The geocache has a container size of regular or larger (Note: A regular geocache has a volume of 1 litre or more)
The geocache is one of the following types:
Moveable
Traditional
Augmented Reality
Beacon
Gadget
Multi-cache
Night Cache
Podcache
Reverse
Unknown or Mystery
The game tracking mechanism relies upon your honesty when logging geocaches as found or hidden.
The games administrators will undertake verification of a statistically significant number of logs.
Players who continually log inaccurate information will be disqualified from the game. The game administrators decision is final.
The game administrators will subtract qualifying hide or find geocaches from your tally if they are found to be not genuine.
The game administrators reserve the right to provide clarifications to the rules at any point during the game.
Don't forget to claim your limited time game trophies, if your qualify, while the game is in progress. Once the game completes the ability to claim your trophies is lost for ever.

Had this cache in my possession for but the briefest of moments and transported only a short distance up the road, nice to have met you, happy travels.. thanks..!!
Noticed that a few moveables had recently been dropped off about the Trevallyn Reserve. Nothing for it but to head off to work early to collect up these playing cards and dinosaurs plus a few others.. thanks..!!

We needed to hide some of the moveable caches that we have in our possession and decided to see how many we could leave in the Trevallyn area. This cache started it's Tassie journey in the north west of the state and is now in the north waiting for it's next move. TFTC
A quick find in an area that has seen a few moveable caches come and go. Ideal really as it's close to the highway but hardly anyone ever comes into this area. Enjoying the concept with this series of caches and hope to see a few more. TFTC

Noticed that this cache was nearby as we headed into Chiltern today so stopped to check. We thought that Whheels may have picked it up but it was still in placed so we took it with us and will move it on soon.
A muster of old moveables in Canberra was called for, so a heap were collected and they have now made their home in and around Melbourne......hope they enjoy their new surroundings.
Time for a muster of some of the moveables in Canberra. This one is now in my hands and heading off to Melbourne to find a new home and hopefully found a few more times.
Found this one with a lot of others and thought what a fantastic idea for a series of cute caches, love the challenge of them all. tftc Fizty_1965 Will move on soonRated: for Overall Experience
