Description
A cache hidden for the 2020 Game of Games
cial themesI have enjoyed trails hidden by other cachers and decided it was time for me to attempt one. I have been on excellent adventures where the series have puzzles to solve or take me to interesting places or have special themes. My first idea was a "Drug Trail" but I did not want to offer more than I could provide so I settled on an "Antibiotic Trail"
A is for Amoxycillin
Amoxycillin interferes with bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan synthesis by binding to penicillin-binding proteins leading to cell lysis and death of the bacteria cell. Amoxycillin is indicated for chronic bronchitis, acute middle ear infection, endocarditis prophylaxis , pneumonia and sinusitus. The most common and well known side effect is a rash and is more likely to occur in patients with glandular fever, leukaemia or HIV infection. Dose of amoxycillin is 250 to 500mg every 8 hours or up to 1g every 8 hours for a severe infection like pneumonia.
Now it is off to find the cache
Each cache in the series contains a First Aid kit and some other health related items, feel free to swap what every you like it doesnt have to be health related.
This cache is not accessible from the highway. Park under the bridge.

While up north we headed out looking for missiles for the battleship games and this was one we found. A quick find in a reserve we will have to return to as haven't cached in here before. Shame about the gorse. TFTC
Rated: for Overall Experience
Today we decided to target some caches in Launceston to get finds for the battleship games. In total we looked for 14 caches and found 12 with 2 dnfs. We had an eventful day touring through streets. Venturing to places we had never been to before.
Got significantly wet getting to this one as all the leaves were wet.
Signed the log then searched for the other nearby caches. TFTC

A Day out with Oldsaint finding some GCA caches for the new Blitz Event. The day was amazing, from snow to blue sky, from heavy showers to dry roads. One leach to report though!
Started the day at 6am, although Oldsaint had driven from Huonville by then. The drive north was interesting, and even though Symons Plains had a race day on, nobody was there at 8am
Proceeded directly to our main target, the Sail Boat Geoart, and completed about 9 before the heavy shower set in, so we decided we could drive to the last during the shower and work our way back. At the last we we greeted by a large amount of snow on the sides of the road, and throughout the tree. We occasionally got "snow balled" from trees above as we were caching. Great day out.
According to the rules of Blitz
Blitz is a dragonZone encounter where you find as many unique valid dragonZone geocaches as you can during a set period of time in an attempt to earn a reward.
Rewards are in the form of dragonZone points but are only awarded if the entire team of geocaches who are playing dragonZone combine to exceed the total number of finds required.
If the entire team of geocachers who are playing dragonZone reach or exceed the total number of finds required then at the end of the game you will receive a number of dZ points based on your percentage contribution of unique finds.
For example:
Make 1% of the total finds, receive 1% of the total rewards points.
Make 5% of the total finds, receive 5% of the total rewards points.
Make 10% of the total finds, receive 10% of the total rewards points.
dZPoints will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
The more unique geocaches you find the more you are rewarded.
Geocaches you find during the game must have been hidden and published prior to the game announcement.

My aim this afternoon was to complete the Antibiotic Trail. This well hidden cache was my first quick find. Cache and contents are in very good condition.

Yeah!!! Finally a drug I've heard of.
Of the three caches done here today this one was the closest to where we parked but took the longest to find.
Actually spotted it from the east of GZ but that way to it looked fraught with danger so came around and tackled it from the western side.
Had a lot of trouble with this one getting the lid to shut properly. Hope I succeeded but it did seem to keep popping up on the opposite side to the one I'd just secured.
It's SO GREAT TO BE OUT CACHING 'PROPERLY' AGAIN AND WE APPRECIATE HOW LUCKY WE ARE TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT AGAIN HERE IN Tasmania.
Thanks.

A nice quick find not far from where I parked the car. The cache was much bigger than I thought it would be but still very well hidden. TFTC.

We left Benzylpenicillin and headed to Amoxycillin - the only name in this series that was familiar to us.
We used our walking poles to move the container into the open as we could not see whether the cache had company in its snug hide. Cache and contents were in good order.
Thanks for this cache in the Antibiotic series ChrisWhite62. We have been luck in that we have rarely had to us antibiotics. Thanks for bringing us back to this section of the park.

Finding this GCA gave me the opportunity to check on my GC cache which is very close to here, lets hope they don’t get mistaken for each other

Out and about on a Glorious day.
Found it pretty quickly.
Did find a needle stash nearby though. So be careful

Thanks for the cache ChrisWhite62.
RLD4963, the GeoGSP and I were visiting the north of the state for a couple of days. We were heading for a nearby GC cache that we wanted to find, when I noticed that three new caches had been published very close by the previous day.
This was a nice quick find. All is good at GC. And this is definitely an antibiotic I have had....and so far it has worked everytime.

Nice to see some new caches published. After returning home from Melbourne we dashed out to hit the Antibiotic trail.
Accurate co ordinates and hint led to a quick find of a nicely presented and well stocked cache. [*FTF*] @ 20.40 hrs.
Many thanks ChrisWhite62 for publishing this cache and adding to our geocaching experience.
