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 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

Geocaching long weekend, we moved our van/house/base to Pioneer Park and set out to pick up the geoart in the area.
Another one that the GPS wanted to waver on, but between the hint and our sharpening eyes we found it TFTC

After picking her way through the clumps of native iris Mrs Y'tassie spent a few minutes digging this container out of the wet litter. The inside of the container was wet and the log was damp even though it was sealed into its protective bag.

Thanks for another hide in this series DEZ055. We dried the container before replacing it in its safe hide. As she was returning to the car Mrs Y'stassie was stung at the top of her sock by a bull ant. The offending insect was quickly flicked of the sock top and back into the leaf and bark litter.

There were still a lot of blue flowers on the iris clumps in this area.

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

This tree was really creaking as I approached and was a bit scary!
Could just imagine the headlines "Woman killed by falling branch while Geocaching"!!!
But I survived the find.
Thanks.
