Too Much Trouble I am Archiving this one.

I will have a look at all in this series ASAP
Hopefully this will not be archived (But this one is really annoying)

Looked in the correct spot but no dice. Cache aint there.

Gathered clues and went to GZ. Searched for a while without success. Appears to be gone.

DNF at 12:21:26 PM(t). Found a very likely hole but the cupboard was bare. Couldn't even find the spiral note book that others have mentioned. The trees have been pruned recently and maybe the hole has been exposed and the cache uncovered?

Found MOST of cache - solved puzzle, got final location - had to go off and get another cache while lazy dog walkers sat on a nearby bench, but when we came and found the nice hiding place we suspected it had been muggled - then we found a Spirax notebook at the base of the tree...hmmm, needs maintenance and we also couldn't get the clue thx for the series though, almost done!

Very suspicious this has been muggled as the place out GPS led us to was empty and we found a typical Spirax notebook on the ground

I have had a casual look for this several times (pre-restoration) without much luck. When S4phire and Cracka1 found it, however, the gauntlet was thrown.

Heading out today on a short caching run we stopped at this one to get the smiley. TFTC

This one took a little longer than planned well done S4pphire you got your 100 before year out

#100 yay. Very happy for it being a scouting cache and a multi. Mini muggles enjoying the nearby play equipment. Worked out the co-ords, GPS playing silly and found what we thought to be GZ. Finally found at 7.30pm. Nice sneaky hide.

Returning home from some southern caching, I realised I was passing this one again. Amazing no muggles around so I quickly gathered the information, made my calculations and a quick find (although extracting it was a little bit of a struggle). Returning the cache I saw some junior muggles had arrived to play footy but I was able to quickly return it with a (probably unnecessary) shoelace camo flourish! TFTC and a fun, if occasionally tricky, series

This one had gone missing But as I was checking it out some trees have gone as well fortunately GZ hasn't I have replaced in same position but will try to make another go at another GZ. For now hopefully school holidays will be good.

That's a +1 for the "more troublesome than the others" comment.
Found the location bereft of its cache.

Couldn't find it. looked for ages. may have gotten the co-ords wrong. may have been muggled.

Awesome! Cache has been replaced.........will finish off series soon enough

Nice easy multi, followed by a quick find - gotta love that. Park was deserted as it was drizzling rain! Love the 'handle' on the cache - hope other finders leave it like that as it makes extraction so much easier! TFTC SL

Find # 543 Found @ 1100 Hrs

Well this was the ninth & final for this series i would have finished the series last weekend but this one was MIA so after doing a few choirs in frankston To-Day i thought i had better get this one while i had a chance.
First name in the new log book.

Back in Place and ready to go
Unfortunatly this is more troublesome than the others
I may have to re-think this completly if it goes again

It seems as his has gone missiing will try to replace soon

Well i was off to a good start with a find then i got to this one Got the required info did the sums then headed to GZ to find the hiding spot empty, which was confurmed by a PAF.

Perhaps a quick check on the status of the cache............just returned from Delcombe park, it appears as thou it has been muggled

With Laker63
we had been searching but cant find where is it. Alchemy2 come with us as she did found last time, showed us it was there. She believe the cache missing.. Can you check the cache there pls.

crank1 and alchemy2

Thanks for interesting multi about Jamboree
TFTC

Found cache after a short search. It is a really nice place
for a cache hide however, I could not retrieve with my hands.
TFTH. Did not sign log

Took my two boys out for a cache and play today. The boys were excited when we pulled up in the car park, and they saw the play ground here. Barely had them out of the car and they were off up the hill, climbing all over. Got the numbers and did the sums to get the coords for GZ. Played around for 20 mins before we headed over to GZ. Took a little while to locate as it is a good hide. Series now complete. Thanks skip2992. Now off to Maccas for some lunch.

Found 15:55, after a brief search.

TNLN, CSI=2, thank sskip2992.

I collected the clues from the comfort of my car and then headed off for the cache. I was grateful for the clue as my coords had me floating around all over the place.

Many thanks,

R - B

MIA Now Back in place
Found a much better location very close to original but much more hidden
Have recalculated formula and have changed on page.

Good Luck and Good Caching

Searched GZ for some time without success. Appears
the cache has been muggled.

Looked really hard and we're sure we had it figured out right. I wonder if the muggles have been?

When I started at the school across the road (the Camp Motor Park), this whole area was just scrub, with a couple of tracks through it. While I was there, it was developed into the sporting park that it now is. I don't remember any buildings in it akin to a chapel.

Found the cache nice and easily away from the muggle activity at the kindergarten/creche. Thanks for the cache.

Logging personal trackable.
Seegs.

8th and final cache for the day around 16:40. A few minor problems caused by arithmetic, but found it in the end. Thanks for the cache.

9th cache out of 9 found for the day. Took a little bit of work, after a miscalculation, then a great good hunt!!! Found @ 1640, it was just starting to get really cold. Decided to call it a day after this one. A few muggles and muggle dogs around. Was fun! Thanks for the cache.

My calculations or the coords were a bit off but across the road seemed like the right place. Searched but couldn't find it...

GZ was calculated without any problems but there were a couple of muggles uncomfortably close to GZ. Biding my time I was able to move in and then back again when the coast was clear. Thanks to skip2992 for the cache and the series.

TFTC, Nice Easy multi and find with Zogdog; as both scout members am enjoying this series.

This was one of the first that we did today and being early it was drizzling a little. Perfect caching weather, did the sums and found the cache. Thanks skip.

While filling out the log book I noticed a dog taking an interest in me but moved on before owner arrived making a quick getaway out the other side. Thanks for the great cache.

Clues in hand, quick find amongst the rubbish...

One more in the series, big log at the end.
TNLN TFTC

OK I am guilty of not logging caches over the last year or two. Due to 2 operations and rehab it has made it difficult to log caches even though I have been mostly chair bound sitting for short times has been difficult as well.
What I have done is create this log in an attempt to bring our found and DNF's up to date so I can resume my normal habit of stories rather than a TNLN - TFTC.
Most of these logs will not include the owners team name so I think it is appropriate to say a Big Thank the cache owners for their caches and some wonderful memories of caching adventures.
Also thanks to Team Crackers who have made our caching trips so much fun and their help in working out what caches we did and when.
Regards
Mr.Coffee and the "I promise I wont let this happen again after all these coffee's er I mean caches are drunk er I mean logged" Coffee Clan.

We slowly walked across the park, as the counting place was occupied. Fortunately, it was a very young muggle, and they lost interest quickly. We had the place to ourselves.
We counted, we calculated - too far away! We recounted - that was closer - walking distance.
A quick search and another Pan Pacific had bitten the dust.
Thanks, Robmc.

We scared off the muggles who were using the equipment and set to work counting.
We had some debate about platforms but only certain numbers worked sensibly in the sums so after some trial and error we had a good set and soon the cache.
Thanks

This was number 6 in this series while out for an afternoons caching with the Coffee Clan. We were again happy to find the area deserted and the information was quickly collected. The GPSr then led us to the cache.
Thanks once more Skip2992

Found @ 1.50pm, #207.
This is the 4th one in this series for us.
Arrived at coordinates with no one in the playground, a quick working of the numbers,
lead us to GZ, with a short search, we had cache in hand, SL & replaced.
TFTC.

Found @ 1.57pm Find #287
Well this is the last one in this epic 1st Pan Pacific Jamboree series. I left these couple on the first day for the first to find aficionados to sort out as there seemed to be some information missing, they certainly earned the first to find on this one. Found easily today.
Footnote
All of the 1st Pan Pacific Jamboree caches that I completed were really well set out and took me to some marvelous spots with generally a good sense of cache placement. I have had a great time. I cant help think that it will take a lot of work to keep this great series up and running we wish you well. Thx Skip you have set a very high standard

Let Dad find this one!

Oops, almost sprung by a muggle & his dog! Saved by the 6 year old who always makes you look a little less suspicious. Returned to car only to realise I'd forgotten to look at the clue! Argh! Back I go while the rest of the family stayed in the car looking smug!

An empty park, and the Gz was calculated very quickly. Found during our "Wal has returned from Sydney for the weekend" caching expedition. TFTH...SL...TNLN

I had a quick look at this one earlier but F didn't make sense, I see F and the GZ have been fixed now, will try again another time.

Editing this one as we stopped in this morning to grab a few more, the kids from the nearby school came out for a run but we managed to stay well hidden in GZ. SL TFTC

No formula for gz ?

Second multi we did for the day missing the formula. Again had to use our cache sense to nut this one out. take some time to get the cache in had but had it in the end and enough info to head to the final. TFTC *FTF*

Lacking the formula for the second time today, Coverthypnosis and I resorted to the hint and cast wide our gaze.
Soon had the cache in hand for another *FTF*.
TFTC

Certainly another hard to find cache, as this was the second cache of the day without a formula to the Gz.
after reading the clue i thought where would i place a cache that fit's the clue after around 15 minute's of searching i finally located the cache as the kid's where coming out of school getting out of there as fast as i could as a single guy lurking in there bush's definitely doesn't look good
Thanks for the cache skipp2992.

Formular for GZ has been updated thanks for the heads up from the finders.
