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.

This Series will take you on a series of roads from Gunns Plains to Upper Natone.

This container is now a micro and requires you bring your own pen.

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

This was the last cache in this series that we needed to find. It had been missing when we last passed by. Again there was plenty of room to pull off the road and the cache container was soon located. Mrs Y'stassie enjoyed the view of the river at the bottom of the gorge as she signed the log . After replacing the container in its hiding spot she turned and started back to the car. She failed to notice a piece of rusty fencing wire on the ground. It caught her boot and sent her sprawling towards the car. Fortunately, she suffered only a grazed knee and hurt pride but nothing lasting.

Thanks for this cache and the geoArt series DEZ055. We appreciate the effort you put into preparing the containers, selecting the hides, placing the caches and adding useful hints.. We also appreciated that the hides were very close to good offroad parking places as some large trucks sometimes use these back roads. in all but 2 cases today the coordinates were spot on. Congratulations on a very good series of caches.

As it was a pleasant winters day we decided to look for caches in the Gunns Plains area that we had yet to find. This was one of them. We pulled over into the parking area and noticed a large pile of debris that had recently been pushed over the edge of the bank. We then started our search but neither guard rail ends held the trade mark container. A DNF for us.

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

We enjoyed exploring the roads less travelled.

Unfortunately this one could not be located.

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. Unfortunately this one was a DNF (our only one for the series).
