Didn't Really Like this one in the first place so am Archiving it

Emily really enjoyed finding the clues to answer this question, so while I sorted out the final, she played on the equipment. Cache was well covered and took a bit of scratching around to find it. This is the first of the Jamboree series we have done, Thanks Skip2992, looking forward to doing the rest soon. BTW, there was no clue in the new container.

Found @ 17:20. A few muggles here tonight but by the time I gathered info and calculated GZ they had moved on. Quick find but unfortunately clue not there yet. TFTC TNLNSL

WOW!!! i was really excited (in a geeky geocaching way) to suddenly find that this was online again! I found all the other caches, made an educated guess and found the final, but it was really great to go back and officially find all the caches!

Also, I was FTF this new cache and log

Great cache series!

All Good to go However
I have failed to put the hidden clue for The Mystery in it.
I will get and fix this when I get a chance. But you will be able to use logic to find what it should be anyway.

Sorry for the delay on this one but I have the replacement just need to get and re-hide will do next couple of days

Sorry for all the DNF's will check on this one Today after work Unfortunately it seems I may have to relocate or Archive. This has been my most troublesome in the series

As per previous cacher DNF - poked around but to no avail .... Perhaps CO could check in on status of cache

Solved the puzzle and found the co-ords. Co-ords led to a cacheworthy location.
All I found was a patch of urine soaked ground and empty beer bottles.
I tried real hard and poked around the less accessible areas with a stick. Found nothing. Scored scratched arms for my efforts.

Another nice easy multi and a quick find. No one in the park on a drizzly lunch time! Took geocoin. TFTC SL

Again here after a DNF last time. The revised Coords are now
accurate and I had no problem finding the cache.

Find # 539 Found @ 1100 Hrs.
A nice easy find in the first place i looked.
After the Muggle & Child left. All the info was collected from the car whilst waiting the Muggle & Child out.
Third of 6 + 1 DNF for the day.

Took my two boys out for a cache and play today. The boys played in the park while I gathered the numbers then made the calcs for GZ. Gave the boys a push on the swings and played for a while before deciding to locate the cache. Looked and couldnt find so redid the calcs and came up with the same numbers. Checked the hint and some logs and used that info to find the cache, about 26 or so meters from the calculated spot. Suggest the sums may have to be adjusted on this one. TFTC.

Found 16:10, we collect the required clues from the comfort (dryness) of the car, whilst waiting for a brief shower to pass. When we arrived at our calculated GZ, there where no likely looking locations to hide a cache. So we re-checked the answers and our calculation from much closer and still came up with the same answers. However there was a likely looking spot not to far away so we checked it out and Bingo Not quite sure what was wrong but actual GZ was a good 22 m from the one we had calculated

TNLN, CSI=1, thanks skip2992.

Last cache in the series for me as unfortunately the final had been muggled. Hopefully next time. Thanks for the series.

R - B

Went MIA now back in Place

I am surprised that I am the first one who did not find this cache.
The coords of GZ appear to be wrong and I noted some fellow
cachers found cache by means of an " educated guess".
I was not so lucky and gave up after some time.

Third for the day all in the Jamboree series, found about 12.30 on a lovely spring day. As mentioned by others, my calculations took me to the wrong location for whatever reason, so I actually found the cache by way of the clue. Thank you very much for this cache and this series which I am edging closer to finishing.

nice little park for the geokid too

It's a bit difficult working out whether this series is supposed to be Mutli Caches or Traditional Caches??
Anyway I found it @ 13:30hrs
TFTC TNLN SL

good and easy

TFTC, Enjoying the series; a nice multi and find with Bla16 and Zogdog.

Like all the caches in the series, this was also placed in an area well known to me from my childhood. I did the calculations and followed my GPS but ended up where there was little chance of hiding a cache.

I did check, but when nothing was found, I checked the clue and used it to find the cache, some distance from my calculated GZ. From a couple of the logs in the book that I read, it looked as though I wasn't the only one. I don't know if something has changed, or I just made a mistake, but it might be worth the owner rechecking the calculations.

Thanks to skip2992 for the cache.

Coordinates of GZ seemed off target (not my maths this time ) but found it at the most obvious, but last checked spot. TFTC

Like others before me my sums did not put me where any cache was, despite being very careful, so I made an educated guess and got there.

Another cache in the continuing series, easy find and then off to the next one.

Must have mucked up the calculations but saw a likely spot. Thanks for the cache.

..quick find with a guess on final coordinate and GZ location.

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

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.

This is where our luck with muggles bit the dust! Mum and mini-muggle were playing in the counting area. So we made an educated guess at GZ. Mum still wasn't impressed with us walking in the park. Didn't take us long though, and we were off.
Thanks, Robmc.

Mother muggle was like a magpie vigorously protecting her nest.
We abandoned the counting and made a lucky find
Thanks

Continuing our tour of Frankston with the Coffee Clan we were happy to find this area deserted as we pulled up. With the information in hand we headed off for another quick find and had the log signed before anyone arrived
Thanks again for the cache and information

Found @ 2.10pm, #208.
Our 5th find in this series today.
For some reason our numbers did not add up so we went by the clue and then had a quick find.
TFTC.

Found @ 1.57 Find #286
Met Earthbound chief at this one always nice to meet another caches, we both mucked up calculation while chatting about Geocaching so we just headed to the most unlike spot to find the next cache in the series
Cheers skip

Is it home time yet, I'm hungry, give me your ipod, mine won't work, get out of the way, do up my seatbelt, it's my turn to find it! All complaints from our 6 year old brother...it's why me & my other brother "love" geocaching!

There are cachers out in force today, funny how a new series brings us all out of the wood work! Ran into another cacher here. Nice to meet you Oakydog. Now off to the next cache!

A nice easy find. Found during our "Wal has returned from Sydney for the weekend" caching expedition. TFTH...SL...TNLN

Cache #2 for the morning, not many muggles around due to the showers. SL TFTC

Not so easy to do without the needed formula but some cache smarts sorted it out. A nice easy find at this time. TFTC *FTF*

Smack in the middle of a very familiar area. I used to do the local paper round here as a lad.
Nice quick find with Coverthypnosis once again. *FTF*
TFTC

*STF* You need some basic Scouting Skills to sort this one as the formula for GZ is missing. Nice easy pickup, evan at 10.05 in the morning with all the locals peering out their windows. Starting to get excited, closing in on Bateman & Robin.

Using abit of caching intuition the cache was located in the first place i looked luckily as after doing the sum's i noticed there is no formula to this cache!.

All Formulas fixed, and some extra information added.
1st Mornington Scout Group Motto "It'll be alright on the night" I guess I forgot that this time.
Thanks for the heads up - hope it's good to go now.
