Description

A dinasaur racer in the Spring Caching Carnival, 2018

This SUNSHINE dinosaur is a racer in the Spring Caching Carnival of 2018.
This dinosaur may be found in a herd/pack/flock with other dinosaurs that are moving around terrorizing dragonzones - it would be good if they could be kept together.

The 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.

The game requires you to hide a moving geocache on Geocaching Australia on the 1st of September 2018 and then you can sit back and watch as your Dinosaur Racer travels Australia and the world. You can also help other Dinosaur Racers by finding and moving them along at Geocaching Australia.

The game software will keep an automatic track of the Dinosaur Racers and will automatically calculate distances and stops as the Dinosaur Racer moves around the country. Check out the links on Geocaching Australia to see where the Dinosaurs are, how far they have travelled and even get a map of Dinosaur locations.


Moveable caches are caches that are moved by geocachers. When the cache is found, the finder takes the complete cache to a new location, hides it and updates the coordinates on the website. With a moveable cache, follow these steps to log your find and move.

First Step: Log your find with a 'Found' log (this will give you your smiley!) Do this asap so other cachers know the cache has been picked up.

Second Step: When you have moved the cache to its new location, log a NEW 'Moved' log, adding the new co-ordinates and even a hint in the hint box if you wish. The hints box will update the main hint for the cache so that it will update in GSAK and the like.

Note that you can also effectively move a cache with a found log. Log your find with a 'Found' log to give you your smiley and add the new co-ordinates and a hint to the applicable entry boxes. This will update the cache location and the hint and will also give you your smiley for finding the cache.

Found at the Mega event, I nabbed this cache and took it back to Tasmania.

My trip to the Mega was great, found lab caches which while like gadgets are new icons to me. Found some great caches and brought back some neat ideas for new caches in Tasmania.

I headed out after work to target two clusters of GA moveables. The first spot seemed to be in the beer garden of the Old Canberra Inn. I suspect this is not right and there were no Guards nearby. I hope these can be located.

Thanks

#GA3098 - 10:15; I think I've discovered a dinosaur hot spot! Grabbed this dino as part of a posse this morning after a couple of earlier successful missions to the area for the Spring Caching Carnival.

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.

The game requires you to hide a moving geocache on Geocaching Australia on the 1st of September 2018 and then you can sit back and watch as your Dinosaur Racer travels Australia and the world. You can also help other Dinosaur Racers by finding and moving them along at Geocaching Australia.

Had been watching this box of dinosaurs and waiting for it to hit the streets again. Last night it did just that, but decided the dinos could have a night out instead of rushing out to grab them. As it turned out, someone found them, but left in place so they were sitting nicely in their little hidey hole when I rocked up about 9.30am Gotta love the retired life. Very HappyVery Happy

This little guy was one of the many inside the box. The log was signed, the little guy returned to his home, and once all the logging has been done, the box will be relocated and back in the game very shortly.


Thanks KK....love the herd/gang/flock idea.
