Description

Hi, I am WizWick Story Teller and I am part of the GeGnome ][ Electric Boogaloo Race, please keep me moving and safe.

WizWick Story Teller  

Game Period: 01-Dec-2015 00:00:00 to 31-Jan-2016 23:59:59 AEST

GeGnome ][ Electric Boogaloo is a game where geocaching garden gnomes (known as GeGnomes) will race around the world accumulating finds, moves and distance in order for their owner to be crowned GeGnomic King or Queen.

The game requires you to hide a moving geocache on Geocaching Australia on the 1st of December 2015 and then you can sit back and watch as your GeGnome travels Australia and the world. You can also help other GeGnomes by finding and moving them along at Geocaching Australia.

 

RULES / ETTIQUITE

  • Caches must be found and hidden by the same geocacher (i.e. no mailing the GeGnome to another geocacher to hide).
  • There is no limit to the number of times a geocacher can find / move the GeGnome provided there are at least two other finds / moves in between.
  • If a geocacher moves your GeGnome overseas and it remains unfound overseas for 1 week or more, the GeGnome mover may move your GeGnome back to the country of origin without breaking the "2 moves" rule.
  • There is no limit to the distance other geocachers can move the GeGnome.
  • Avoid rehiding a GeGnome far from active geocachers territory as it basically exits the gnome from the race
  • When rehiding a GeGnome get good co-ordinates. Seriously. Don't dump and run. Get co-ords as you would a permanent GeGnome.
  • When making your log against a GeGnome include a good hint so the finder can identify whether it's been moved, muggled or just a bad GPS day.
  • This is a challenge of moving GeGnomes along, not trying to make them impossible to find, so help you fellow players out by making the task enjoyable
  • Please avoid hiding movable caches near existing Groundspeak or Geocaching Australia geocaches. At Groundspeak geocaches they go missing as rubbish or taken as trades. At Geocaching Australia geocaches the other geocache ends up travelling as well which it's not supposed to. So please find a location away from any existing geocaches (except of course other movable geocaches) to keep the GeGnomes in play for as long as possible.
  • Do not leave GeGnomes at the site of the Chrome Gnome along Melbourne’s Peninsula Link freeway. VicRoads frequently attend and destroy gnomes which are left at this location.

Prizes

  • GeGnome with the most moves in total (provided the owner hasn't already won a prize)
  • GeGnome with the most moves > 0 km* and < 1 km (provided the owner hasn't already won a prize)
  • GeGnome with the most moves >= 1 km* (provided the owner hasn't already won a prize)
  • GeGnome with the most moves >= 10 km* (provided the owner hasn't already won a prize)
  • GeGnome with the most moves >= 100 km* (provided the owner hasn't already won a prize)
  • GeGnome with the most moves >= 1,000 km* (provided the owner hasn't already won a prize)
  • GeGnome that has the highest cumulative distance moved (provided the owner hasn't already won a prize)
  • GeGnome that has the single highest distance moved (provided the owner hasn't already won a prize)
  • Other winners will be announced as the countdown continues


* Distances will only apply once. i.e. If a GeGnome moves by 150 km it will count in the > 100 km category only and will not count in the > 10 km and > 1 km categories.

A lightning stop while passing here this morning was all it took to pick up the story teller.
Will move it along soon
Cheers

I performed a moving cache exchange at this location.

I removed Gary the GeGnome, and left this one in its place.

A nice quick find on our way back home after spending the day in Kadina.

I had to check whether this was the actual cache I was looking for as there is no gnome present. It had a GA code, so we brought it back to J & J HQ to see where we can hide it next.

Thanks tigersden.

I was given this cache a little while a go, so I do apologise for the delay in getting it back out. It was a rather large hide and I needed a non urban spot to put it. I have place caches in this area before, it is a lovely spot that does not get enough visitors. One of those cases of driving by and not knowing what you are missing out on.

Found your awesome cache today in the hands of some wise Tassies, I have taken it now to continue its journey onwards.

Safe travels!!!!

WizWick Story Teller was ready to start its tour of South Australia so dropped off into the park at an early cacher meet up

When we were planning our mainland trip we noticed that there appeared to be ten GA moveable caches that we had not found hidden along the Murray River not far from the highway. They had to be added to our lists. We had hoped to collect them yesterday but time was not on our side. This meant that we had a little back tracking to do at the start of the day.

As we turned off the main road we were pleased to see that the track leading to the river was dry. We felt our 2WD, low clearance street car would be able to manage this. We were about a third of the way to the first group when the track deteriorated and we found ourselves straddling some deep ruts the result of 4WD in the wet. Slowly and carefully we made our way towards the hide. We were able to park within 25m of the hide.

Accurate coordinates led us to the well hidden swag which, to our surprise, was a supermarket bag that was well tied up. We had no time to check all the moveable so grabbed the lot and stashed the bag, moveables and all in the car. It was then a slow trip back to the junction and down the next track to the next gathering or what turned out to be an equably daunting trip to the next hide where we found another bag of caches. We then headed back to the junction with the third track and a third group of caches.

We saw some awesome camping spots by the river on our way in and out and were glad to make it out with out any damage to the car apart from a very thick layer of dust.

After a very full day we spent the evening sorting the moveables and now to log them. We did not know what to make of WizWick initially as it is a very different structure.
We will take this one for a short trip before releasing him in time for the Ides of March.

Murray River Caching trip 2017. With Fitzy_1965 I headed West to the area between Moulamiein and Balranald for the weekend. Day 3. I saw these in the hands of Fitzy before they were put out on Monday morning along the river Murray.

Thanks

Spotted this one in the hands of Fitzy today.

Looks familiar? Must have seen another like it sometime. Fitzy says he'll get it back out in the wild again soon.

TFTC !!

#GA1831 - 17:50; Day one of a caching mission to Victoria with Sol de lune. We headed over to Coolamon then south through Jerilderie and Finley before heading west to Deniliquin and then on to Wanganella before heading back through Deni and on to Mathoura, Moama and then Echuca where the caching finished on dark. Grabbed a bite to eat on the way through Bendigo and on to Creswick, which will be home base for the week. We had now crossed the border collecting a few caches in Echuca before heading off for home base. Picked this little guy up for a move to the nation's capital later in the week.

Stopped and grabbed on the way through Echuca and into Victoria for a few days caching with LuckyL10n.

Have taken this one and we relocate soon.

Thanks TD....

A Melbourne cacher visited recently and left behind a bag full of GCA moveables. This was one of them.

After some minor repairs I'll release it back into the wild, perhaps at a GC event in Heathcote.

A quick drive by while heading off to do some other geocaching this afternoon. We will try to rehide this one shortly, but its size may make this a small challenge to find a suitable location.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for this cache and for joining in the game this year.
