You want me to go where??? Michigan, United States
By tomasdiaz and Freddo on 01-Sep-10. Waypoint GC2EAPR

Yes! Intercontinental mission accomplished thanks to extensive help from J_&_J (http://coord.info/PRVNBB). Thanks to time zone difference it took us only three 24-hour periods to accomplish the goal.
Very original concept. Liked it a lot.
Replaced stage 1 in slightly different spot. Added new log to the final.
TFTC . SL as GMMP. A fav from us.
PS. This is our cache #2500 .

It was certainly an interesting adventure getting the info required to log this cache. Almost reminded me of "The Magnificent Journey" http://coord.info/GCRBP2 but with much harder terrain. Many thanks to TeamGMMP who helped us out from their end, it was a pleasure corresponding with them.

Thanks for the cache tomasdiaz and Freddo.

Yaaay! Wow..what a fun puzzle. I passed by the starting point a couple weeks ago and thought I'd give it a try. After a short time thinking about a strategy, I was able to hook up with Team A3 on the other side of the world to tackle this one. Things went smoothly both here and there (despite 100 degree heat over here) and I was excited to go for the final today. After a short search, I had log in hand. Great fun...thanks for all your help Team A3...couldn't have done it without you! SL TFTC tomas and Freddo! (#5788)

Yay we completed this great series of caches. But of course we could not have done it without MMc881's help. After we did the first cache here in Australia we had no idea how we would get the next part done. Then we got a nice suprise when MMc881 contacted us and was looking to complete the series. So we partnered up with much success. So thanks for the caches it was a lot of fun and thanks MMc881 for going out in that hot, hot weather, all for the love of caching!!

With help from CMUChip98 I was able to complete this interesting cache over the last few weeks. It has been great fun since I started with Intercontinental Caching Frenzy last year. I think that this is a great idea for a cache. Thanks tomasdiaz and Freddo for the cache.

It's been a fun couple of weeks working on this one with EsromL, thanks for your help! We were a little bummed the final wasn't a little more spectacular but can't complain it was a great cache concept and lots of fun. The log was pretty wet and could use drying out. Thanks for all the work on this one!

Find 1492
Found BFE Style without the GPS by my partner BSW2010.
The journey to the waypoint had some interesting encounters with wild animals.
Thanks to tomasdiaz and Freddo for an innovative concept for a cache and to BSW2010 for their international assistance.

Found the first part of this back in September last year, but I didn’t think I had the international connections to link up with the other part of the multi.

All that changed last week when I got an email from Freddo, who was acting as a mediator for BSW2010. A couple of emails later, I had the coords for Part 2. As the next day was pushing the temperature near to the ton, I waited until Sunday for a pleasant trek up to GZ and was rewarded with a nice solid box, and another set of coords for partner.

Thanks for the cache, Freddo & tomasdiaz. It's been a lot of fun. My 800th find - Woohoo!

Found this cache BFE style, without a GPS.

This was a fun cache that I was able to complete with the help of 2 cachers:

Bob From Elsewhere
Malco!

They can now both claim the find and also the log is soaked!

TFTC! SL!

Had this one solved since a while. Finally got over there. Thanks for the fun puzzle and the smiley!

Teamed up with june17 to locate this cache. We traded coordinates. It was 40C here in Adelaide, and minus 10C in Michigan. We also decided to trade degrees. The temperature dropped by fifteen degrees here, which allowed for a hike in the Hills. Has the snow melted in Michigan yet??? Thanks for a great cache Tomasdiaz and Freddo. Special thanks as well to june17 for helping to solve the puzzle!

Teamed up with Brummelbear over the last couple of months, but he wasn't able to wait for our visit today and found other means of solving this one .
We made it to our GZ today and are now able to log a find here as well .
A very interesting and unusual way to find a cache .
Thanks Tomasdiaz and Freddo.

Took me several trips but not quite as expensive as it could have been. Met a few overseas cachers while in the process. TNLNSL.

I was fortunate enough to be able to team up with brummelbear in the US to work through this puzzle to determine coordinates for linked caches here in South Australia and in Michigan. Between us we were able to make and log the finds as appropriate in a relatively short period.

This has been a fun, and very different, caching experience. Thanks tomasdiaz and Freddo for putting this all together, and thanks brummelbear for your assistance.

I visited an interesting cache on the Yurrebilla walking trail over here that stretches for 54 kilometres through the hills.
It told me I might need some assistance to do a puzzle cache in the area and as a bonus I get to help play with this cache as well.
I love a challenge and put in request and with a bit of too and fro with paldog0603 it looks like I have come up a winner to logging a very different cache.
Loved the chance to meet a fellow traveller. Geocaching without borders makes the world our playground.
As a couple of Buffett fans we know that if you just stay a boy then the world is a toy.
Thank you for a very enjoyable experience.

Out with Gsix5666 and Paldog0603 today. Had a good afternoon of caching. Some easy some hard. TFTC. Vary interesting concept here and was fun. This realy had us scratching our heads at first.

Out with Paldog and Bapman today in the Rochester area to pick up his Jeep from the shop. We had a great time caching while we were in the area. Thanks for the great veriety of caches we were able to find.

It was a little bit of work and a lot of luck to make this a find.

This was a little toughie to figure out. We had some discussion after finding the first stage and came up with a plan of attack. Reading the cache page very carefully we discovered the secret to finding the next stage of the cache. We found a parrothead that wanted to help us out and we managed to turn this into a three stage cache with a minimum of expense. I think this would be a great deal of fun to complete this cache as a solo cacher but it was interesting to get a different perspective on a multi cache puzzle.

Working on this one.

The world really is a tiny place.
Looks like I have a partner for this one.

Didn't initally log this as a find as we didn't actually sign the logbook. However we worked in partnership with WebScouter.

We found the cache "Intercontinental Caching Frenzy – Part 1" with WebScouter finding this coordinate enabled us to find "Intercontinental Caching Frenzy – Part 2"

Please let me know if we signed this log in error.

Many thanks for the cache

Stumbled across this one while planning a day out caching.
If anyone is looking for assistance send me a note I would love to do this one with you and it seems could use your assistance for my end.

Wow! We worked this one as a five stager with help from The SBI. We were able to keep the cost to around $30.00 US...less, if you factor in other finds while doing the various stages. We were in Frankenmuth yesterday when The SBI sent the final clue for this puzzle. We couldn’t squeeze the find into a busy day so we put it on the agenda for today. There is supposed to be a blizzard today. Well we needed a cache to keep our cache a day streak alive and this was only a couple of miles more distant that the closest available cache. AnnaLasagna, rootee2t and I left straight from church as the snow was already significant and Google Earth indicated deep woods attire was not required. Traction Control kicked in numerous times as we crept along the sheets of ice that normally are called roads. We were able to stay between the sidewalks on the way to GZ and made a quick find. Fun stuff! The log was wet, but since the defroster was already blowing on full, rootee2t patiently dried it before we signed. Before we made it home, we had to detour due to the heavy wet snow and ice toppling a tree across a road near our house. Then when we arrived we found a tree down in our driveway under 8 inches of the heavy wet blanket. Oh, and the power was out. After several hours of snow and wood removal, I am writing this log on battery power and candle light. Thanks for this fun challenge, because we may otherwise have ended our CAD streak today if it weren’t for this unique cache. Also thanks to The SBI for playing with us!

TFTPC!

Found with y2kcompliant & annaLasagna. Y2k pretty much summed up our experience with this final stage. What a great idea for a cache! I must say, I was a little leery of what the following stages would be after finding stage 1. Bold hide! This will surely be a cache to remember. Fun times! TFTC

Fun concept. Enjoyed finding this one. TFTC

With help from TeamAstro we were able to complete this in 3 stages....but not without a bit of luck. The information provided led us to a "proximity issue"......however the cache page no longer contained the blurb about this issue. Luckily we were able to find an old copy of the page that gave us the information we needed to find the final. Thanks to TeamAstro for the helping hand.

On Monday this week, we looked at this cache recently to decide what the puzzle was exactly. Teamed up with brother Ramblin for this one.  Went to GZ and quickly had coords, but????

Made a few inquiries at the cords given and made a friend. By Monday night we had more information.  Found what we needed and luckily, our new friend is about a crazy cacher as we are. By Tuesday we had the final set coords and went to GZ. Did the required math from the cache page and came up empty. Contacted the CO about what we had and were told we did not need to do the math now........  Stopped by the final this morning and quickly had the container in hand. Thanks for the interesting twist of a cache.  Thanks to winterdragon for the help too. TFTC SL

With Team Rumble doing all the heavy lifting on this one, finally made the grab. TFTC

It seems I'm allowed to log a find on this cache for helping Team Rumble out with the find, and I thought it was enough to just get his help finding a cache over here! Thanks to Team Rumble for teaming up so enthusiastically, and thanks to Thomasdiaz and Freddo for this special geocaching treat!

When I first found stage 1 I thought something was wrong. He can't expect me to go THERE!!! When I found out what I was supposed to do I contacted the approiate cacher (thanksTeam Wibble) and without his invaulable help I would have never found this one. Thanks for another great expierance and thanks for the cache.

Either a bad attempt or the coords at stage 1 are gone.....spent 10 minutes and thought they would be easy to find but no luck. Will have to give it another try when I see another cacher confirm stage 1 is there,

Got our coords with the help from a friend called TeamAstro. This was a pretty neat way of doing this cache. It took a little time and patience but it all paid off. Got the coords on 10/14 but I was called out of town on business so I told The Nightowl to hold off on finding the cache until I got back in town. When I arrived back in town, I was biting the bullet waiting for daybreak to come. Got up bright and early this morning trying to avoid any possible muggle activity. We made our way to GZ and there in its hiding spot was the magic log. Not many cachers names on the log yet. Very neat idea for a cache. Looking forward to more of these types. TFTC. SL.

Did this one with Breezeboy, what a really cool idea! Don't know how or who came up with it, but it is really neat. Thanks for all the time that went in to making this one. TFTC

I got an email from a fellow pathtagger in Australia asking for help on this, so I gladly jumped at the chance. Took me two tries for it due to 'DOH factor', being blind, a blond day, I don't know. After some more help, had no trouble today. I hope Trevor has no trouble with his final down there. Thanks for a fun hide. I do hope to go caching down under in the next couple years.

Wow . I could hardly believe the stash note that said I could log this one! My thanks to both Freddo in Australia and tomasdiaz in the US. FYI, the walks to get BOTH of these caches for the prize of logging this one involved 2 x7km walks. The second walk was in the rain and I got soaked - but that's better than in the heat where there are stacks of snakes and man eating kangaroos and grunting Koalas that drop bear things at you. Walking in the rain means you only have to contend with swooooping Magpies (black and white birds that are about the size of small eagles). You have to be careful as they can take an eye out.

On the way to the coords to this cache, I had to pass a goat catching trap, large drop offs that would normally kill you if you fell (this time they were full of water - but I never had a safety vest on), plenty of sharp sharp spiny monotremic Echidnas and thick thick smog that meant any intercontinental air traffic into Adelaide was diverted. Don't mention the 1 in 4 grade track with marbles shaped stones. [:0]

An over all experience.

Should I say thanks - HELL YES.

[font=Arial][black]Caching with Rock Dogz as 'Lawn Dogz' today. We found 22 Tomas Diaz's puzzles that one or both of us had previously solved as well as a few others in the area.

This was quite an interesting cache. I had a partner, had 6 weeks of not hearing from my partner after giving him the final coordinates to his cache, and then I had to have other help to find the final. Kinda of bummed that I got 'stood up' after I kept up my end, but hey it worked out and turned into a smiley.

Out caching with lwnam91 on a terrific fall day. We traveled nearly 7 thousand miles to get this one Thanks
- Bob & Joey's Excellent Adventure

Found it with the help of a new friend and an old friend. Great concept. TFTC

Found while out with Leader1 and with the help of some new friends. SLTNLN, TFTC!!!!!

Quite the interesting adventure! Received an unexpected e-mail from overseas cacher (o'cholio) with a request for help, offering his help in return. That seemed a bit odd, and I couldn't understand the reciprocity until I investigated further. Scored his information first, and then found our 1st stage. Sent all information, and then had to wait, ............ until morning, to find out that o'cholio had completed his mission, and succeeded in my request also. Found the last stage today after returning from Metro Beach, working on the MGA 2010 series. Thanks to Tomasdiaz and Freddo for their efforts on this concept, well implemented. It was a most memorable adverture!

Bit jealous of o'cholio, etc., because their cache locations are somewhat remote, and VERY scenic! GeoCGS's favorite caches are always found in the woods, etc.

Well I guess I can say that I spent a little money that I did not have to complete this cache but it was in all good fun.
I had gotten an e-mail from my cache partner sushilord with a set of co-ords, what could this mean??? I headed out the other day for, as my South Australia friend puts it, a "cache raid", when I visited the, now 2 sets, of co-ords. I picked up a few other caches along the way that day then off to a surprise birthday party for my sister. As soon as I arrived back home I sent out my finding. Last night I got the news I was looking for and today, with a nice wind on a very warm day, I headed out for yet another "cache raid". Having a few targeted caches this one topped the list. After arriving at what I thought would be the final cache, I proceeded to tear apart the area not realizing of the change made on the cache page. After quite sometime I gave a shout out as to where I was searching, sure enough a change in the cache page that I over looked. With that I took a walk while waiting for the cache page info and found the final before getting the cord change. After taking to one of the FTF'ers, they did the same, easy to over look I would guess, maybe the fix would be to put in a small container with the fix for the co-ords on it as I will bet others will leave home without the fix as well. Much thanks to sushilord for bring this cache to me and working along with me for a find on this cache! TFTC
#6360

Well I do have this cache started as I am working with Sushilord. He has sent the needed co-ords for his end and I have searched out both set and am waiting on his end before completing this cache.

Interesting???
As I know GC rules are that you HAVE TO SIGN THE LOG before you can claim the find on any cache. I have seen caches that you have to find someone in another location to help but they could not log the find. Maybe GC changed the rules since I last checked???

Thanks for the correction about an assisted find. I have removed my log. Many thanks to Depereo and Bunnyrunners for their assistance in my search for part 2 of the Intercontinental Caching Frenzy. It's been a treat. Cheers

Logging a find without actually having been there feels a bit strange, but I have been assured by the cache owners that it is correct. They even quoted me some other caches that this has been done with, namely The Magnificent Journey, World Wide Cache, Postcards from OZ and NZ, and the Peter Pan series, to name a few.
So once again, thanks to Depereo and Bunnyrunners for their assistance.

WOW,WOW,WOW. Coolest Cache ever. This was a very interesting cache to say the least. The timing was remarkable I was running into Depereo at the first few stages. We both emailed people and got our information back at the same time. At the end I picked him up to go to the final. Had to refresh our minds with a call to the CO for the final. With a slight adjustment we had the cache in hand. A nice clean Transcontinental log for a FTF with Depereo. This WILL BE the most memorable cache I have ever done. Thanks Tomas for a GREAT PUZZLE Cache. SL

Shared FTF with Bunnyrunners @ 9:51pm!!!
I woke up this morning to find both a notification for this new cache as well as an email from a fellow cacher on the other side of the world! I picked up the first stage around 10:30am. Shortly thereafter I sent out a round of emails. This continued several times throughout the day. The toughest part of this cache was being patient and dealing with the time change. Not to mention that some of the stages that were hidden for this cache required hiking several kilometers!
It seemed that I had bunnyrunners on my tail throughout the entire day. The first time I walked we shared a FTF and then I walked with him to the 1st stage and watched as he picked up the coords. The next time, I had already picked up the coords and received an email from a local telling me that bunnyrunners knew where to find them as well. I hung out a while and was just leaving when I saw the bunnymobile arrive. Again, I hung out while he collected the coords. Finally, this evening I received the coords to the final! The bunny didn't have them yet, but I was told that he would shortly. Wiith that, a quick phone chat with bunnyrunners later, and he was on his way to pick me up. We arrived at the coords and after an extensive search were completely baffled! A call to the CO reminded usof the page's important note about the proximity issues. We did the math and restarted our search and had the cache instantly!
A blank log sheet on an *incredible* and fun cache!!! This one will go down as one of my favorites and most memorable ones! Thanks Tomas for the time and effort put into making this such a huge success of a cache! My hat is off to you!
~Dan

Started this one in the dark and was just not able to find stage one. I'll be out after this one again when it is daytime.
