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.

All containers have a pencil and a log sheet.

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

We spent the long weekend in the area working through some geoart and anything else that caught our attention.
Another quick grab in the rain, saved us a red light on the roadworks at least. TFTC

We were glad there was room to pull off the road as there was a steady stream of traffic along this road today. A quick find of a familiar container and we were on our way.

Thanks for this cache and the geoart DEZ055. Container and contents were in good condition.

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

We enjoyed exploring the roads less travelled.

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
