Description

A participant in the 2018 DragonZone Spring Cacing Carnival moveable race.

This little fella has been placed to assist participants or players or other GCA finders to move a relic of the past. Dinosaurs lived a long time ago according to historians but have come back to enjoy the

joy of being moved from one place to another. Even though this one started its journey in the general Brisbane Qld  area it enjoyed a 270 Km drive from its home base so as to have a good chance

of being found and moved to see wonderful places. Have a safe a enjoyable journey  Dino Racer. 

Some  Additional information.  You are seeking my home. I am residing in a small Sistema clear container, so you can see me,  so I can avoid the elements. The log is in a micro black bison container.

Spring Caching Carnival is a game where geocaching Dinosaur Racers will race around

the world accumulating finds, moves and distance in order for their owner to be crowned

King or Queen of the Spring Caching Carnival.

Rules of the game
  • You may find and move your own Dinosaur Racer during the game period.

  • Dinosaur Racers must be found and hidden by the same geocacher (i.e. no mailing the Dinosaur Racer to another geocacher to hide).

  • There is no limit to the number of times a geocacher can find / move the Dinosaur Racer provided there are at least two other finds / moves in between.

  • If the Dinosaur Racer has not moved within 7 days and you were not the last geocacher to find or move it then the "rule of two other finds / moves" does not apply
  • and you are free to move the Dinosaur Racer again.

  • If the Dinosaur Racer has not moved within 14 days, even if you were the last geocacher to find or move it then you are free to move the Dinosaur Racer again.

  • If a geocacher moves your Dinosaur Racer overseas and it remains unfound overseas for 1 week or more, the Dinosaur Racer mover may move your Dinosaur Racer
  • back to the country of origin without breaking the "2 moves" rule.

  • There is no limit to the distance other geocachers can move the Dinosaur Racer.

Etiquette


  • Avoid rehiding a Dinosaur Racer far from active geocachers territory as it basically exits the dinosaur from the race

  • When rehiding a Dinosaur Racer get good co-ordinates. Seriously. Don't dump and run. Get co-ords as you would a permanent geocache

  • When making your log against a Dinosaur Racer include a good hint so the finder can identify whether it's been moved, muggled or just a bad GPS day

  • This is a challenge of moving Dinosaur Racer along, not trying to make them impossible to find, so help you fellow players out by making the game enjoyable

  • Please avoid hiding movable caches near existing Groundspeak or Geocaching Australia geocaches. At Groundspeak geocaches they go missing as rubbish
  • or taken as trades. At Geocaching Australia geocaches the other geocache ends up travelling as well which it's not supposed to. So please find a location away from
  • any existing geocaches (except of course other movable geocaches) to keep the Dinosaur Racer in play for as long as possible.

A quick find in a spot we've picked up moveable caches from before. Pity about all the rubbish that's been dumped here. A much longer search online to find this little guy's number as nothing on him listed it. Managed to track him down though, he matches the photo attached by the last finder. TFTC

Hello youngoldfella
thank you for the cache.

I was in the area finding some caches and this was one of them.
Your cache was found out in the open. The lid was first found, then the base, after a little searching the log was found.
Sorry I didn't see the Dino Racer.

I will move on soon.

Found on Thursday 7 April 2022

24-Jul-19
With a day off in hand, I decided on attempting to make the FTF on the new cache out in Ladysmith just east of Wagga. It did become a FTF! Big Grin This also gave me an opportunity to start collecting the clues for the new promotion, ‘Mystery at the Museum’. Yes, I know I am starting it a bit late but better late than never. Wink Anyway, I made 5 finds today which most have been on the to-find-list for quite time, three GC and two GCA. I would like to thank all CO’s of the caches I found today and for allowing them to bring them enjoyment to me today. TFTC’s

P.S. The cache has been left at above coordinates for the next finder to move on.

#GA3606 - 12:25; Day 5 of the tour de South East Queensland with Sol de lune as we wrap up our caching and get ready to head for home tonight. An early morning change of plans saw us head south through the picturesque countryside from Beaudesert to Woodenbong which enabled us to claim a find in Kyogle dragonzone, before heading back to Logan to continue our mission there. Found a trig before heading off to grab Queensland's oldest active GC cache, then on to pick up a few more in various series in the zone. Picked up this moveable with a couple of mates, which are now with Sdl and headed to the National Capital. TFTC youngoldfella Very HappyClan Cerberus
