Up the Creek without a Cache Devonport, Tasmania, Australia
By Spreyton22 on 13-Oct-12. Waypoint GA4645

after finding anotehr cache in the area we followed a few paths to get to this one, well we sort of did we did more bush bashing until we found a track and then we got to GZ
At GZ myself and the Goose searched and he came up with the goods in no time at all.

Thanks for yet another great cache Spreyton22

We ended up being 'up the track without a coat' and it started to rain. We were circling back from another find but made a bit of a mess of getting here and ended up 'back tracking' (shh) for a while before going bush to join the walking track. We found GZ quickly and had a 50/50 chance. SSR went to one side and I chose the other.I won! I made a quick find,then we signed the log and headed off as the rain threatened to get worse. Thanks for another good one Spreyton22

This was a tough puzzle to crack. Thankfully the find was not so hard, though it has taken us some considerable time to get there. All good despite having had no love for over a year. Thanks for the brain exercise Spreyton22, & for the pleasant walk.

Another lovely walk, and I did the Reborncyclist thing when searching too !
Thanks for the cache and puzzle, Spreyton22 !

A clever puzzle, and an enjoyable stroll - wish I'd brought my bike up!
I found the cache at the last corner I checked (and yes, I checked them all).
Thanks

I didn't know how to solve this puzzle other than wondering could the coordinates be the average of them all? Don't even know if it's possible to work that out! So instead I used some logic using a different methodology. And I was pleased to solve the puzzle even if it wasn't in the intended way. Yes, I have also looked for another cache at this location...(didn't find one here, though, as it was shortly before it was archived and MIA!). So I was pleased to find this and another one in a little pause from my trip from Hobart to further along the coast. Nice cache container and all very dry unlike all the ground nearby at the moment. Thanks Spreyton22.

We join the list of cachers who have previously found a cache at this same spot. This one had us going round in circles for a while but as it was the only spot that fitted the clue we returned to it and had a more detailed search. Don't know how we missed it the first time!! The solving of this one was done by Mrs Beetle which in itself was an achievement. Thanks.

Couldn't for the life of me fathom out the proper co-ords...but a hint in a previous log had me searching my records...voila....had certainly been here before...about 6 yrs ago I think. Good hide...all ok. Many thanks FTC's Spreyton22....a nice stroll around them all...Cheers.

A nice easy stroll and find after solving the puzzle previously. Thanks for the cache

Glad to find a larger cache after spending a lot of the day looking for micros. I enjoyed the puzzle once I grasped the concept. Thanks for organising a great afternoon of puzzles and caching. TNLN TFTC.

Found with whitewebbs on a puzzle caching weekend. Lovely area lots of muggles out and about enjoying the fine weather. TFTC

Enjoyed this puzzle. Found GZ easily after a nice stroll through the recreation area. TFTC .Found with Tassie Trekkers.

You could call this a team effort - or maybe just cheating. UncleTom3 solved this cache during the week and sent me the co-ords so I could claim it. Still have no idea how the riddle works
A year or more ago I found another cache in this exact spot - hopefully this one will remain longer.

Planned to meet Oldsaint at the cache GZ for a combined search. But due to the old man taking to long to arrive at the GZ, I had found, logged, returned the cache, searched for a nearby frog and returned to the GZ and waited for 15 minutes for the old man to trudge along the track.

Thanks for the puzzle

Hi Spreyton22
Anne and I have finished our three day tour of the West Coast; having stayed at Queenstown, Zeehan and now Burnie. We enjoyed visiting the towns of Strahan, Rosebery, Tullah, Waratah and Savage River. Today it was as far west as Wynyard and east as far as Devonport; staying at Burnie for a second night. Both of us have really enjoyed our sojourn so far, home tomorrow!

Today is a caching day for me and Anne is having a retail therapy day.
Luckily, the weather was terrific all day.

This cache was the tenth one on the agenda for today.
The drive from Wynyard to Devonport was a good one as Bass Strait gave for a great background on this beautiful afternnon. Anne started her retail therapy here in Wynyard and continued in Burnie while I went cache hunting.

Arrival at grond zero I was asked by Budgietas where I'd been. He was up auditing the books for his compny, had finished his work and we had arranged to meet. He had already found the cache by the time I got there and stood by while I made the find. A quick look around and the hide was found quickly. The cache was logged, the cache replaced as found at 1349hrs this afternoon. Thanks for an interesting puzzle.
From here, both having done the puzzle; it was off to "A Piece of Pie."

Found five caches in total for day one. Day two, eleven caches found. The third day has coffed up nine cache finds and two "Did Not Finds" but I think those two caches maybe missing in action. This, our fourth day has resulted in sixteen cache finds - so far, a total of 41 finds for our tour.
Have had a better time watching Anne's face as she got a better look at the West Coast. She's loved Nelsons Falls, Strahan, the Museum at Zeehan, the falls at Waratah and her visit to Wynyard.
Thanks for the cache and the fun of the find
Cheers OldSaint.

Nice straightforward puzzle.
GZ was the exact spot of an archived GC cache I found years ago.
Many thanks Spreyton22.

Thanks for the patience.
All is checked ... and re-checked ...
Anyway, it's a good clue, so go get it!

We saw this puzzle listed late last evening. Despite the log about needing to rework the puzzle, we thought we would have a look and at least try to determine the method for solving the puzzle. After a couple of incorrect attempts, we noticed a few things which then led to a different approach. Very quickly things started to fall into place although one aspect delayed us for a short time. With Evince giving us a positive response, we were confident that we had the correct method for solving the puzzle. GZ was in an area we knew reasonably well and given the hint, we decided to have a look as we were going to Devonport anyway. It only took a few minutes of hunting before the cache was in hand. yes, the coordinates do need a little reworking but they do get you into the right area for the hint to be very useful. Thanks Spreyton22 for another interesting puzzle and good hide. FTF at 10:35am

Sorry folks, if anyone is working on this, I think the GPS is a bit too way off, as I look on Google maps.
I'll go and have a look first think tomorrow an re-do the puzzle.

Hold tight !

All set!
