For each qualifying geocache that you hide or find during the game period you will be offered the opportunity to click on a ground tile and reveal what lies beneath.
A moving cache, by nature, may have been moved since you last determined its location. It may have been picked up but not yet rehidden so it's considered 'in-transit'. There is no foolproof method of determining where a cache is simply by the log types that have been placed against the cache.
Thanks to all the CO's for the caches...
Thanks

Thanks to Tuena for the meeting and to CO for the cache.

This new game is about the choices you make in the experience of the journey or the destination.
For each qualifying geocache that you hide or find during the game period you will be offered the opportunity to click on a ground tile and reveal what lies beneath. There are a number of different ground tiles that will be revealed when you click on your playing field. It should be noted that there are no punishments for clicking a tile but there will not always be the reward you were hoping for as you reveal each tile
Meandering around and avoiding the path will accumulate points that will be used to place on you the ladder of wanderers. The more you stay off the path the higher the number of points you will accumulate and it will be your journey that will be the determining factor in whether you place into a prize winning position. You are free to select any ground tile to click on; they do not need to be next to each other.
Trying to find the path may mean you strike out on the dirt until you eventually come across the path and as a geocacher who can't say that this isn't a tried and true method. Once you find the path however will you try and follow the path as it changes direction around your playing field? Do you go North, South, East or West to try and find the next concrete tile along the path? If you head one way are you heading towards the start or towards the destination? When you do happen upon the destination tile then you will automatically be in a winning position.
At any point you are free to change from the journey to the destination and vice versa but you won't be able to regenerate your playing field. You are also free to keep playing as long as you have qualifying geocaches, accumulating more and more dirt tile points and placing you higher and higher on the ladder.

Of course there was a price to pay and I was made to find a few caches to pay for my bread and board, nothing onerous this far but I fear he may have other plans for the next couple days.
Thanks for the cache
Found! Very near my house! Will be moving it along soon! Don't bother looking, already picked up.
Spotted a few more GA caches that had popped up on the radar which were mainly moveables but in a good position to satisfy one of the dragon zone requirements.
Other dragon zone requirements had to be also met, which included the day of the week plus the day of the month. Sunday had the least dragon zone finds and the 19th of the month had only a couple of finds, so it looks like the dragon zone stars had aligned for today.
The only problem with the weather would be too warm, though all the caches were mostly drive bys, so no real problem there.
Once again, as soon as I had put my hat and boots on, Murder(the younger of the two canine family....4 yo) started to get pretty excited as he just loves both bush walking and travelling around in the geo fourby.
My eldest canine...Sirius...is now too old(16y 10m) to leave the comfort of his bed in front of the wood heater...which has an electric blanket( not needed today though) of course which he just loves and is great for his arthritis. Having walked 100's of km's with me geocaching over the years up numerous mountains, bush walking along many trails plus along vast stretches of beaches etc while geocaching, he has certainly earned his rest..an amazing companion who never gave up no matter how hard it got for him...a truly remarkeable and treasured companion.
The first moveable was "School" which was placed opposite the Burnie High School. Approaching gz and with very accurate coords, I soon spotted the little blighter hiding on the steel fence along side the now disused rail line. Many thanks 'Old Saint' for placing and maintaining the cache for us all to enjoy. Reckon this little cache will take a trek back down south to South Arm where it can travel the 250km dragon zone requirement...cheers ST.
The 2nd GA cache on my travels was 'Postman Pat'.On approaching gz all was quiet but my blind/dumb streak seemed to cut in as my initial search was on the wrong fence. Turned around and omg...how did I not see that?.. gees, even Murder would have done a better job of sniffing it out...lol. Great job with the cache too and this is one cache I can say is surely muggle proof.After manipulating the required part I soon had the log book signed.Many thanks Sharnies Tribe for an excellent gadget cache....cheers ST.
The 3rd cache....'y's Stay At Home'...a moveable...was out along the Bass Highway near Sisters Creek. Once nearing gz a familiar guard rail hide was soon spotted for a quick find. Thanks for the cache 2y'stassies...cheers ST.
The next moveable cache was 'Golden Weeper' further west along the highway past Sisters Creek. Nearing gz the guard rail hide was soon spotted and the cache was quickly found. Thanks for the cache WazzaAndWenches....cheers ST.
The next moveable cache...'Barney the beach bum'... was further west along the highway near Rocky Cape.Once again the familiar guard rail hide was soon spotted and the cache was soon in hand. Thanks for the cache Friesianess...cheers ST.
The 5th moveable and 6th GCA cache for the day...'GoldeGn GeGnome'....was out along the road into the Rocky Cape National Park.Once near gz, accurate coords found the Gnome hiding at the base of a eucalypt tree, under a fern.Thanks for the cache...'DDT's....cheers ST.
It is hiding with a couple of friends in an area where others are hiding as well.
TFTC.
