Description

The classic and enormously popular Pac-Man video game came out in Japan on May 21, 1980, and by October of that year it was released in the United States. The yellow, pie-shaped Pac-Man character, who travels around a maze trying to eat dots and avoid four hunting ghosts, quickly became an icon of the 1980s. To this day, Pac-Man remains one of the most popular video games in history, and its innovative design has been the focus of numerous books and academic articles.

 

The game was created by Namco in Japan, and released in the U.S. by Midway. By 1981, approximately 250 million games of Pac-Man were being played in the U.S. each week on 100,000 Pac-Man machines. Since then, Pac-Man has been released on nearly every video game platform. On May 21, 2010, the Google Doodle even featured a playable version to mark the 30th anniversary of Pac-Man's release.

Hi DEZ055
A trip to the North West Coast saw many caches gathered.
This series was some of those targeted.
It was great to drive roads not done before.
The series was very enjoyable, the caches well presented and generally easy to find.
Those not done will be the goal of a future trip, not far into the remainder of the year.
TFTC, TFTS
Cheers

Took the van/house to stay at Pioneer Park for the weekend and pick up some caches in the area.
Friday Mr TazScout was out on his own and nabbed a few caches while filling in time. TFTC

After a return to Riana we headed off to the next group of PACMEN. Again the road was easy to negotiate and there were good parking spots. Mrs Y'stassie took a few minutes to locate an easy access route to this hide. A fall on a steep slope over a year ago which resulted in a badly dislocated shoulder has left her wary of climbing steep slopes covered with loose stones.

After finding a relatively flat access track she was soon digging for the cache. This one was also well buried in forest litter and the inside of the container was wet. Out came another tissue and this was soon rectified. The log book was only slightly damp.

Thanks for another section of this series DEZ055. We enjoyed this pleasant spot and the good hide.

Staying at Burnie with whitewebbs we targetted this series of caches.

We enjoyed exploring the roads less travelled.

Many thanks dez055 for creating this geoart.

While staying in Burnie we headed out caching with Tassie Trekkers to locate the Pacman geoart that has appeared since our last visit. Thanks DEZ055 for creating and hiding this great series. It was a lovely drive around the forests, sometimes on roads we had not been on before. TFTC

After doing #6,7,8 and 9 we wondered if we had made a mistake as we now had a 20km gap to the next one.
But no. We found the next one exactly where I had written it down to be.
Last time I was in Loyetea was about 30 years ago when a friend had a farm up here and I brought my horse up to go for a ride with her.
Mr Beetle has been in the area caching but on his own.
Thanks.
