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

Spending the long weekend in the area doing some geoart caches, this was one of our first stops of the day.
Having spent some time wandering about the the reserve and deciding we'll have to come back and stay here sometime we wandered up to this one. TFTC

Further down the road we stopped to look for this cache. What a magnificent tree! When the road was graded recently the logs and other debris from the storms had been pushed up against the tree so access was not easy from the road. Fortunately, a way into the rear was found. After a few minutes digging Mrs Y'stassie unearthed the cache container. She was dismayed to find a largish amount of water in the container but delighted to find the log dry in its sealed ziploc bag.

Thanks for another cache in this series DEZ055. The bush flies in this spot were very annoying though they didn't bite thankfully.

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

What a beautiful big tree!
Found this one 2 hours and 40 minutes after the first in the series. Still one to go but stopping the time here as we are detouring in to the reserve to look for 2 caches there that are not part of this series.
Thanks.
