The Pathway Where Every Letter Counts-Final Newhaven, Victoria, Australia
By The Three Geo Amigos on 30-Dec-11. Waypoint GC39XTH

Bounty Trackers just wanted to push the ARCHIVE button. He is having withdrawals
DELETE, DELETE, DELETE.

We had found 25 of the 26 letters last year and solved the coordinates after returning home. Back again in 2016 to complete this series and some other caches. We'll try for the missing letter again as well. Anyway a short search at GZ soon found the cache. This whole series proved to be quite a challenge. TFTC

Nice, sunny, warm Spring day. I tried to clear up this Puzzle. Ended up among the spinifex against bare ankles for first time of the season. Lots of prickles, but no sign of cache. More homework?

Tftc, with assistance from puncatus who did many of the 30 with me. Numbers 14 and 15 have been muggled or at least that's the way it appears.

Took 3 days to get all the series excetp the final. 7 yo Geoson did 2 big days of walking to get the majority. Gave him and I some quality time. Loved the variety and the brain challenge. Drew on a local team's knowledge to find out other local teams to get Three Amigos. Was confused about a few of the letters as a H could be interpreted as an I, thanks to geoson bring this to my attention. Well done. Fav point. Final location a little tricky but got it. Dislike of rubbish though

We're down here for another little holiday before Easter & today we dropped MMelb off on a walk from F Oswin Robert Koala Reserve to Rhyll whilst we went caching!!
So after 2 other fun (but very short) visits to the island in Dec & Jan and now a bit of a longer stretch this time, we finally had the info we needed to locate the final.
It took a bit of a search, why do people use these areas for rubbish tips?? Finally we stood back and thought and wondered if .... Ahhhh Yes!!
TFTC The 3 GeoAmigos... We now know who you are!!
Fave point for the series - GJMMelb

With the continuation of great weather, we went back to Phillip Island for some sightseeing
and to pick up a few more caches.
After spending yesterday collecting the clues, this was on our 'must do' list.
Worked out the 3 geo-amigos, and it was plain sailing from there.
The maths kept us busy and there were many great hides, well worth a favourite point from us.
Many thanks for placing this great series of caches, The Three Geo Amigos for us and others to find.

Travelling around Australia in our Caravan with our cat, we heard about the New Year Events and decided we should be a part of the fun.

Wow what a series. So many clever tricky little suckers. oh or is that us

Took some time to do the maths and sums, especially not being local was a bit of a challenge. Info obtained then off to GZ. Cache is all good, but those bitey flies were back to annoy us here. Thanks for the awesome series.

Our final cache find of our Christmas holiday on Phillip Island. Decided to leave the final cache in this wonderful series to the end to put the icing on the cake of our great time on the island. The 1st lady finally located the prize after an extensive search of the area. Quite simple in the end. Thanks for the hours of entertainment over the past four days, we had a lot of fun.

This pathway has been a long journey, starting more than six months ago. Found some quickly, had to come again to find some of them. Thanks to matt_geo for showing me the way and clues to finally solve the puzzle. Great series, a well-earned favourite point goes to the three amigos. TFTCs

Woohoo!! This one has been a project spanning about 5 month and 3 trips to phillip island, on each visit we have found a few, missed a few, this time we had all accept for number 6 which is mia, but after some thought and deduction we worked out 2 of the cachers, and the 3rd fell in place because of a connection we had seen elsewhere. Tftc the 3 amigos

A fairly quick find to cap off a terrific series. We spent some time working out who the Three Geo Amigos were but eventually got there. I clearly wrote down a couple of the clues wrong but never mind - all's well that ends well. Thanks for this series - there have been some interesting hides and containers employed. A favourite for the series. TFTH

Visited here with the family. Dad (matt_geo) had done the pathway caches sometime ago with robber44 and collected the clues and mum worked out who the Three Geo Amigos were and found where the final cache was. I signed this cache but I haven't yet visited all the pathway caches myself. I need to go for a bike ride on another day to really earn this one! Thanks.

A quick find whilst geopartner (who hasn't finished the 30 caches yet) is at work. Worked out two names but had written one clue incorrectly which messed the numbers up. With a bit of a prod from one amigo I was able to see the error. Thanks for a terrific series. Fav pt from me

Out and about with 80 degrees while enjoying a weekend at Philip Island to test out our new caravan. Stayed at the Big 4 opposite. Did all the pickups on the Saturday, did the home work last night and ready to do the pickup this morning. Nice easy find by Mrs 80 but shame that this has become a collection of rubbish area.
Thanks for the cache You three Geo Amigos for all the caches, we enjoyed our journey and the variety of containers.

While spending a weekend on the island with xambo4u while they did some setup tasks on the latest van we decided that this series should be our challenge - but not by walking or riding - by car. Most of the caches where located quickly and the letters retrieved. With only one letter missing and Mrs80 suggesting the first 2 cachers the remaining letters quickly exposed the final cacher and a set of co-ords quickly found. This morning we were able to quickly locate this one. Thanks 3 Amigos for placing these caches we enjoyed finding a variety of hides.

Even though we had a letter missing for this one we soon found who the Three Amigos were. Then it was just a matter of following the GPS to the find. Thank you all for the series and TFTC.

After spending a good amount of time doing the walk to collect all of the 30 cache on the pathway with LHE Duo, there was no way that we could leave the island without stopping for this one. Thankfully we were basically going straight past the spot and it was easy to make the stop.

As we pulled into a nice little parking area, and loaded the coords into the GPS we started towards the spot. I was taking what was most definitely the more difficult approach trying not to trip over the rubbish, and actually spotted what i was looking for and decided the easier approach may be a little better.

So with a few steps soon enough was in a better spot and we had the log out adding our names.

Again Thank-you for such a great trail and I was a little worried about getting this final sorted out, but with myself and LHE Duo putting our heads together and a little research we soon got things sorted even with the letter missing in #9.

TFTC

We'd completed all but two of the pathway caches, so thought we had a reasonably good chance of working this one out. However, I was soon a tad frustrated. The expectation of knowing cache team names well enough to hazard a guess, combined with missing letters, had me scratching my head and struggling.

Eventually, I hazarded a guess based on some logic and hope, and soon afterwards another one fell out too. The remaining letters looked ok for another possible suspect, but not perfect, with some letters not lining up. But with no better choices we plugged it in and a reasonable GZ seemed to appear.

So today, on our way home, we detoured to have a squiz. Certainly an unexpected spot for the final of a rather significant effort, so we weren't sure about our choice - but still we looked around and eventually the experience of yesterday led us to a spot where the cache was immediately spotted.

TFTC to all of you. We'll favourite this on behalf of the whole series, and thanks for your efforts.

Down at Phillip Island for a family Easter holiday, so Happy Chappie and I planned ahead and packed the bikes This power trail was first on our radar and it didn't disappoint, the caches were varied in size and types, which had us second guessing for the 13km.

I completed (all but 2, DNF) the Pathway series with Happy Chappies. Over a few glasses of red, HC worked out the quiz to the best of his abilities and numbered a likely GZ. On the way home today, we dropped in on the likely GZ. BINGO!!

Great series, a favorite

We just could not leave this area without revisiting Phillip Island in an endeavour to finish off the Not Drowning series and to collect some other caches in the area that have been on our list for a long time. Again we were lucky to have a perfect day to go exploring this most scenic island and with what better company than Gonefishen07 and Zobo04 (after school hours). Nice one. Thanks to The Three Geo Amigos.

A fantastic day of caching with Nut bear today on the Island.
We have been wanting to get back here to finish of this great series and today was the perfect day for it. With most of the caches found in this series and with the clues we had it was an easy task to work this one out.
Thank you The Three Geo Amigos for this very fun series. The time and effort that has gone into it is very much appreciated and well deserving of a favourite point.

Out for another awesome caching adventure with BorisB&Natasha. The cooler weather today was a welcome change and made for a very enjoyable days caching.
We made a start on this series a couple of months back and am glad we are back to finally finish them off.
Wasn't too hard to figure out what we had to and soon had a plausible location for GZ where we found the cleverly hidden cache. Favourite point added.
Thanks to The Three Geo Amigos for a great series.

Nice to finish the series on the first day of a new year.

Loved this series and enjoyed the surprise even more when we worked out the names. Thanks you guys. Will give a favorite point.

Great to solve and finish this multi. TFTC.

This was a great series to find. Although you will really struggle with the first couple until you find enough to understand their pattern of hiding caches. If you are having trouble trying to work out the correct names, these are not the only caches they have placed on phillip island.

2 of the 3 Amigos did maintenance along the full series all new logs / caches and snap lock bags where need.

This morning we cached in and around Wonthaggi. This afternoon we returned to Phillip Island. Yesterday we found all of the preliminary caches and last night worked out the coordinates for the final cache. Looking for this cache was our first priority on the island today. Thankfully our calculations were correct and accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and irs contents were in reasonable condition given the recent rain. TFTC The Three Geo Amigos and for a really enjoyable series.

Solved this cache overnight, even with one letter missing! Was a great final hide, luckily we set off from Cape Woolamai today! TFTC Three Geo Amigos!

Thankyou guys for this series which has taken us 3 good walks to complete.

Yeah!! We found these 31 caches over the last 3 days while on holidays at Phillip Island. Great fun our thanks to The Three Geo Amigos

Bogonghazy was the one to spot this, we were hunting in the dark and the cold, so I was pleased when we had it in hand fairly quickly. Thanks to The Three Geo Amigos for the series and the cache. Well done on all your work and efforts.

Took some time to find this one in the dark, thanks again The Three Geo Amigos, a great series.

We found this cache on our May caching holiday to Phillip Island.
The area is really beautiful and we got on the bikes for over 50kms for the 4 days we were in the area which we would never have usually have done on a holiday before geocaching!
Thanks to the cache owners for the fantastic caches you have placed in this area of Victoria.
We didn't find all the caches in this series. After 7 or so we worked out who the 3 geo amigo's might be and plugged the answers into the final.
We were correct so enjoyed finding this one before doing some of the rest of the trail.
A big thank you to the 3 teams for all the hides along the trail and elsewhere arounds the area.

Found with Mum & Dad on a holiday to South Gippsland.
The weather was fantastic and the caching was fun.
Thanks to everyone who hid caches for me to find, I had so much fun!

Team Mornington, Hazey1, Biger12, MrMcGee and myself on an April Fools day caching run on the island again today.
Grabbed a few and finished off others.
Nice day for a few caches, looking for one of the new "TINY" caches
Now we have picked up the odd missing one in the series, we can now visit the final. Loved the ride, different hides, kiddy friendly locations. Only we were a bit disappointed in a small cache at GZ, we like to look forward to a nice satisfying big cache after a long trail.....
TFTC

Team Mornington, Hazey1, Biger12, MrMcGee and Saulman1010. Nice great power trail down the island to get this one; also in great weather. Having lived on the island for 7 months and waited for Saulman1010 to come across, great to finally take it off the list. Enjoyed the series and ride, and had plenty of chats along the way to others. Was able to solve the three amigos prey easily and finally came back to claim the booty today

Mrs. S sat down after lunch and sorted out the who what and where for this cache.
We headed off to Churchill Island and stopped on the way to deal with this.
A short search with Suscoe and the number three sun revealed the well disguised cache.
We were very happy to finish off this series with the final cache.
A big thank you to The Three Geo Amigos, now we know who the members of this exclusive club are, well done.
This has to be a favourite for us, all done by car over four days, a most enjoyable series.

Found @ 8:24pm, find # 1887
Sent from out on the hunt for caches while down on the Island for the weekend.
This is certainly a great series with lots of different types of hides, I have had a great day out on the bike and it was great to find all but one.
Thanks to The Three Geo Amigos for this cache and all the caching fun.

Found on a geocaching weekend trip with ST37E and highrod.

A nice quick find on the last day of our weekend of cache finding !

TFTC

11/11/12 3:16 PM Find #2182
Found with ST37E and S_4_Sammy
This took a bit of searching.
Thanks for the cache, Highrod - Ballarat

Found in the company of S 4 Sammy and highrod during a weekend of Phillip Island geocaching, found after a massive search all around GZ by all of our group until I made the find on the container

Thanks for the great series

replaced log sheet as it had gone mouldy

Found!!!
Congratulations to the three amigos for a really well thought out series. The variety and cunning in many of the hides was a highlight (we may not have thought so at the time as we struggled to find a few!), as was the fact we were able to ride our bikes to Woolamai for a pie and collect a swag of caches on the way. The series rates a favourite from us.

Note: Cache log very wet and mold is growing on it

Found on a day out with Rabbitto. This will be a generally generic log with variations. A great series for which we were able to find each cache which always helps!

Having gotten all of the letters bar #10 for reasons stated on that cache, we set about this one. Unfortunately I made a big error on my first try, which led me to another error, and a number of letters left which looked good but refused to come together. In the end we got there by nefarious means and at GZ the good hide was soon found.

We found all of the coords to be very good, and the hides of course are very well done. Full Marks to the team for the effort and the fun.

I found this cache today at 4:25pm as the 47th of 58 on our Philly Midweek Bash in company of Alansee. We had acheived what we had hoped for the day, to start and complete this series. The whole series was really well laid out, the hides were varied and enjoyable to do and all the co-ords were spot on bar none, It also shows a great case study how to lay very small caches that are in very difficult search areas, very easy to find. A lot of people don't have this knack so well done. Congratulations to the 3 caching teams for putting out such an enjoyable series and given me a great perspective on a road that I have usuall driven down in just a few minutes. Thanks from D B-A.

After yesterday's ride and gathering of clues I had enough stuff to work out the final which I did in the comfort of my accommodation at Kilcunda.
After finishing the rail trail into Wonthaggi we made another trip over to the island to pick this and 4 other caches up.
Yet another different hide to mark the final cache.
Thanks Three Geo Amigos

Grabbed all the caches and clues yesterday and worked out co-ord's to todays final cache. A sneaky hide right up to the end, thanks Moosetash for helping with this series. Thanks The Three Amigos for a great series.

After some investigation last night the final name was found and today we stopped to grab this one as we headed off the Island. A nice hide. Thanks for a great series. Left a pathtag.

Found after many days caching around the island. Great string of caches. Cache containers and location were all good. The only one that we could not find was cache 16. Not shore it is there or not. May be to clever for us. Thank you The Three Geo Amigos.

#2885 Well wasn't this the culmination of an engaging series! We had completed most of the series on our prior visit and managed to collect all but 2 clues. Fortunately some homework paid off & these clues were not critical in finding the end solution. A huge thanks to The Three GeomAmigos for the variety of hides, some of which were extremely well camo'd. Also a series which is well maintained with quick replacement of the AWOL cache(s). As promised, a favourite from us. Cheers [^]

After a full school term with exam after exam, I didn't get to do much caching. This was all going to change however when I started to plan an assault on Philip Island. I started to think of which town would be best to assault to raise me from the dead after my abysmal effort in the earlier months. With 3 different series, a power trail, and a handful of other caches, Philip Island was the place to go. So I started solving the puzzles and making a few phone calls so I would have the best chance of finding a heap. I solved most of the puzzles, however some of them required a bit of a nudge or someone else to realise my error. I started to think about my route in a way that would get me the most finds possible. We ended up with 55 in one day, and 87 for the whole weekend which was a fantastic effort . The weather was very on and off for the whole weekend which made some journeys quite unpleasant, however on the whole it was awesome. The Nobbies was a definite highlight for me. We started off the day with the 'Pathway' and managed to complete it and all of the other caches along the trail in just over 4 hours. What an awesome weekend! Thank you to all of the owners who contributed, but especially hell+back and The Three Geo Amigos (you know who you are)!

Another awesome series on this island! When I was planning for Philip Island, I spent most of my time planning the Not Drowning, Caching series as that required more time. The night before we left, I argued with the heads of the table to take the car that could hold the bikes just so we could do this series. It was an absolutely miserable day with hail in some sections, however on the bikes we managed to find 40 caches in 4hrs and 10mins. An awesome effort!

All of the hides were varied which made for a very enjoyable ride despite the weather. I left the final for today on our way out of town. This turned out to be the last find for the weekend and even though we had just past the time we were going to leave, I HAD to find this! I wasn't sure what to expect here but I had an idea. After about 10mins of fruitless searching, I soon came across another object. Could it be? There's the cache! Awesome!

Another favourite point will be awarded for this series as we enjoyed it immensely.

Thanks for a fantastic series Geo Amigos! I will be recommending this to many people

Found 15:40, in the company of Muzza. It's taken us two visits to the Island to finish this series. Our first visit had the series two thirds completed, and today's visit allowed us to find all the remaining caches (and a few others to boot) and solve the puzzle. All in all a great series.

TNLN, CSI=3, thanks to The Three Geo Amigos.

After completing the remaining 10 caches today with Biggles Bear, we worked out the answers over lunch, then grabbed it on the way home. It was a profitable and enjoyable series. Thanks to the Three Geo Amigos for the cache and for the series. (We now know who you are!)

Yay! Signing the log just as it started to rain. Daylight has dimmed and temperature has dropped and it's only 3pm! Time to reward ourselves with a yummy coffee. TFTCaching fun!

A quick find on a nice sunny winter's day in the presence of the Earthbound Team. Some very good hide throughout this series. TFTH...SL....TNLN Thanks The Three Geo Amigos. The culmination of a days geocaching brought us to the final location for this series.

10/06/12 8:35 AM Find #1021 Its cache skirmish for ABL973 and Square_Pegs today on Phillip Island and this was one that we found in the rain. Thanks Three Geo Amigos...we know who you are know

I returned to Phillip Island again with abl973, with the intention of completing the series. With a little perseverance we were able to find all the caches including those that we had missed last time. We also managed to find the final in the series.
Thanks to The Three Geo Amigos for laying this fun trail. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience, with lots of different styles of hides to keep us on our toes and interested! It made for two memorable trips.

Well it was another Monday night, and it was time for the Demolition Crew to get out and grab some caches. This time the Roostaman joined us for a night fun in the area of Phillip Island. As Quasar3671 had already done many on the Island, he joined Blacklegend and I in the wee hours of the morning to collect those caches he had not yet done. All in all it was a fun night with cheerful banter, chicken rolls and the odd refreshment. While we were not able to clear out the whole island, we grabbed as many as we could, with only 2 DNF in 80 caches. The run started in Dandenong, with a few caches for Blacklegend, but we soon found an area where all of us were happy to collect the smilies. After collecting the series, this was a matter of collecting the final. An easy find. Thanks for the series.

Found on a fantastic and very long night caching run around Phillip Island with Blacklegend and TrailRunning, and also joined by Quasar3671. The pathway & caches were all a lot of fun & the night was full of adventure. Another good hide and no muggles around at this time of the night, then we were on the road again for the long drive back to our camp in Dandy. TFTC & the series and thanks to the guys who took me around for a great night of adventure,
Roostaman.

Another legendary night caching run by TDC (The Demolition Crew) + 1. A sensational 78 find run to Phillip Island and back with the usual TDC members - myself, TrailRunning and Quasar3671 and one other, the legendary "Roostaman" from Wagga. The trip started in the Dandenong area, and progressed around Westernport and all the way to the other end of Phillip Island. There were several foci for the night, those being the powertrails up the middle of the island, as well as the Drowning, Not Caching puzzle series. We didn't get all the puzzle series done, but we did smash the powertrail. A sensational night, great company, chicken rolls, and an impromptu stop at an abandoned lounge suite on the side of the road, which made for a great "chicken roll" break.

Had a lot of fun with the trads on this series, at one point I think we got 15 in an hour, maybe 16, will have to check. Once the clues were sorted it was a matter of just picking up the final. Neat series and pretty good final. Fav point given. TFTC.

Had a job on monday on the Island so I thought I would come over on sunday and do this series as I've been wanting to do it for awhile. Wow what a great series with a great range of caches. I will be giving the series a favorite Point. Thanks again to The Three Geo Amigos for a well executed series.

Found @1230 #1472
Have been keen to do this series every since it was published and today was down on the Island for some R&R with the bike all set to go.
This series took me 3.5 hours to complete and I decided to start from the Cowes end which prove a good choice as most sections are downward more then up. The ride back took a bit longer with a bit of a head wind but by 1235 I was back at the car at the RSL club just in time for lunch. This series had some tricky hides with a high degree of variation between each cache, which kept me guessing. There was 2 caches which I didn't find on my first attempt but on the return trip a second go finally had them found due to the knowledge I learnt along the way...

Having studied the clues collected from yesterday, I was keen to find the final before leaving the island. After a period of time longer then I would like to admit I was very please and satisfied to have the cache finally in hand.

Thanks to the The Three Geo Amigos for the time and effort taken to establish this awesome trail. It was fun to discover the real geocaching names. TFTC, a favorite for the entire series.

Wow what a great series. We have had a fun filled day finding all sorts of great hides along the way. Nothing was predictable which added to the fun. We were traveling in a camper and alas had no bikes and limited time so parking was almost as hard as the hides. Finding the final was a great way to end our brief 24 hour visit to the island in which we found a total of 51 caches. Glad we visited as it has been a number of years since our last visit.
Thanks to the cache owners who shall remain anonymous TFTC.

Homework and finally found out the who is the 3 geo amigos.... Today we return back to Phillip Island with Crank1, we are so pleased to find the final - and signed the log. Thanks The Three Geo Amigos. Fav from me.... [^] [^] [^] [^] [^]

Come back today to finish off with final which we have found out who is The Three Geo Amigos. Enjoyed with The Pathway Where Every Letter Counts with Everlasting.
TFTC

After finding the 30 caches in the series back on 5th February, we finally returned to do the final cache today. We'd almost forgotten some of those tricky hides, but they soon came back to us when searching for this one. Feels good to complete the series. Thanks so much to the Three Geo Amigos for providing so many people with good quality caches and variety. Your effort is very much appreciated and well worth the trip to the Island. SL

Found with Hearse068. We have been saving this series of caches for this day to do our bit in trying to break the record number of caches logged on the 29th of Feb 2012. Hearse068 and I have done our bit for the numbers. I am glad the we made the effort to ride the track from one end to the other and recommend that others do the same it was most enjoyable. Well done to The Three Geo Amigos for a great series of caches. The variety was good and all the muggles made things a little harder to find, retrieve and replace.

Found with Gonefishen07 on our attempt to help with the most caches logged on this the 29/2/12 leap day. Yippee a extra day in the year to go caching and break a record. This has been a great day of caching and hopefully a new record for the leap year we did our bit for the numbers. All the caches in this series are very well thought out and well hidden I hope the Three Geo Amigos suffered on bikes like we did only joking it is a fun ride made easy with lots of stops. I do recommend anyone logging these caches to use the Bookmark list C@H has set up it makes logging easyer. A big thank you to the Three Geo Amigos for putting the time and effort into such a great series .

A very enjoyable and very well thought out series.

We decided to have a go a crack at the PT with the expectation that it would take no longer than a few hours from start to finish - BUT obviously it wasn't to be. With a sneaky bag of evil hides it made the series a little bit more difficult & exciting to say the least.
Both Geo-gf and I worked as a team - had it not been for her support and her fine driving skills as the designated driver I would surely had completed the series well after mid-night.

Each hide was an individual in its own right which made the hunt more enjoyable.

Once the clues were all gathered the real fun began - took a little while to solve. However one CLUE!!! stood out more than the others (name with the most letters) from there it was a breeze to work out the remaining clues. The final was collected after we completed the near-by NC.

I will award a favourite as a whole and shall recommend!!

Once again many thanks to the team - "The Three amigos"

Found by Mary & David at 1325. An amazing series. Loved it all. Who would think you could spend hours along a bike path and have such a great time. A few slowed us down, but all proved to be in logical places. Many thanks to The Three Geo Amigos for a most enjoyable series.

A fantastic day of food, fun caches and great company with Team Crackers.
Thanks Three Geo Amigos for a wonderful series of caches,
Regards Mr.Coffee and the Coffee Clan

We saw this series come up when we got home from the “New Year Dinner Party” DOH! This is the first opportunity we had to get back down here and with Mr. Coffee and the Coffee Clan we hoped to find the identity of the three amigos. We had a great day, although a bit hot, finding a fantastic assortment of cache containers and hides while collecting all the required clues. Once we had them all we headed off to GZ only to find a police car sitting where the GPSr was pointing, apparently a jet ski had broken down and they had been called to help. We headed down to the beach where the police were talking to the jet ski owner. We had a search in the limited number of hides and came up empty handed. We headed back to the car and rechecked our maths and the old reversed number in the co ordinates had happened. With this fixed we drove to the correct GZ and the cache, although a bit smaller than we thought was quickly in hand and we have signed the final log.
Thanks again The Three Geo Amigos for a well thought out series with some clever hides. A favourite from us.

TNLN SL thanks for this great series of caches . All of you used all your tricks for a very diverse lot of challengers . Came back to finish this today ran out time on the day I did the rest . TFTC
P.S. don't put your hands in the nests they are occupied by ringtail possums.

Can't say that any of us are keen scrabble players, but we did enjoy the ride this morning. A nice collection of hides, all placed so they could be safely done from the trail.
A lovely mornings ride all in all.
The only thing I was slightly disappointed in was that I hoped the final might have been a bit larger, but I guess it fitted in with the rest of the series.
Thanks to all three of you, Robmc.

In the end we went back to my sister's place for that coffee and a leisurely calculation of the co-ordinates for this final. When we got there my sister and I were still assessing the terrain and its potential for something big, when Robmc made a somewhat more modest find than we'd anticipated. Thanks so much for this series, great fun!

Found by The Empire @ 2:10pm with The Lone Random and pocketrocket&friends
Find number 27 of 36 on the island today. Sitting in the car while the others went in and found a cache, I had a crack at working out who The Three Geo Amigos were. I worked it out pretty quickly Once the co-eds were put into my GPSr we decided it would be a good idea to grab the final before we finished the entire series. I made the find and signed the log, I'll add a favourite point to this cache to encourage others to have a go at the series. My thanks for the cache, and the series to The Three Geo Amigos!

Found by PR&F on 9/1/12 @ 2.10pm with The Empire and The Lone Random.
#27 of 36 finds today while we tackled the Pathway Series on the Island.
While PR&F and The Lone Random were finding the clues for this puzzle, The Empire worked with the clues already found. The discovery was made of who The Three Geo Amigos were and we made our way to where the GPS said GZ was.
The find was made so log was signed and we were on our way.
I hope other cacher's get out there to complete this- some clever hides to keep us thinking along the way!

Well, once we had most of the letters we'd worked out the answer pretty quickly, and Phetlern was the lucky finder. Thanks for a fun afternoon.

When these "letters" were posted we put a few trio's of cachers together who we imagined could be the crazy amigo's! Today was the day to follow the pathway and find out. The last cache and the Three Geo Amigo's now unscrabbled!
Found in conjunction with Pprass and Squalid.

TNLN . . SL . . Thanks for the great series The Three Geo Amigos.

Found at 3:37:32 PM GAFF5 in the company of Phetlern & Squalid. It took us exactly 3 hours from start to finish to complete this series. At no. 30 we worked out the names, worked out the co-ords - although I still think that the answer to AB is incorrect. There are 31 caches in the series - 30 trads and 1 mystery. Anyway we worked out where it was going to be and headed straight over not even stopping for caches along the way. At GZ Phetlern was the quickest and pulled out what we now think is a standard cache for the area.
Well done guys on an excellent series and on the interesting cache hides - must have been tricky here and there to have the caches spaced far enough from existing caches. No wonder the Mr wants an end to placing caches
Thanks The Three Geo Amigos

I was getting ready to go out a do some caching for the night with my plan for the evening all set out, when my phone starting beeping, alerting me that a new cache had been published. The phone didn't stop and upon checking the alerts I soon realised a new series was out and my plans soon changed.
I'd just moved my computer with all my caching stuff on it to my shed but hadn't yet connected it to my home network so it took my about half an hour to work out how to get the new cache info onto my iphone and GPS but once that was sorted I was on the road. On the way I contaced C@H and found out C@H and Spladem were actually not too far in front of me. I soon caught up with them and we spent the rest of the night having a great time caching together.
We ended up finding all but one of the caches and we had a great time trying to find the great variety of hides, of which some we had some difficulty finding due to their sneakiness.
With all these letters on hand we sat down and starte to work on the puzzle. We soon had three possible names, even though we didn't find one of the caches. We used the names we had to work out a possible GZ for the final cache and it looked good. We were soon back on the road and at the site. It wasn't long before we had the final cache for the series.
Thanks for the cache and a very enjoyable series that had a great variety of hides. A favourite on the final for me.
Cheers to The Three Geo Amigos.

Joint *FTF* with Spladem and Quasar3671. A few familiar sounds on my phone alerted me to a lot of caches being published. Taking a look at one I could see there where 30 in the series so I did not waste any more time in decided if, only decide how and who. A quick call to Spladem and not a lot was said. He was just as aware as me of the new caches and it was only a question of where we leave from. Soon he was at my place and we loaded into the Ranger that was already packed with snacks and drinks for the road. While driving to P.I. I call from Quasar confirmed he was on the trail too and not too far behind. He joined us in the hunt as we hit one after the other after the other finding 29 out of 30 in the series. Even at the start we had a fair idea who the teams where involved in setting up this series. A fun and well laid out power trail. TFTC

I'd just finished what I was doing and was recovering before thinking about bed, suddenly this one published and it was action stations.. however I didn't pay attention to the name only the location, then after a minute it became obvious that there was more than one. My phone soon rang and I wasn't surprised to be speaking to Covert, my simple answer was I will see you soon.. 25 odd minutes later and I was swapping cars. Enroute we got a call from Marty (Quasar 3671) who as it turns out was only a few minutes behind us.. We were soon enjoying a *FTF*.. Thanks The Three Geo Amigos for these hides.. this one has been Favourited..

We asigned letters to names and pretty quickly came up with 3 possibilities, however there were a few issues with extra letters, and ofcourse the cache we didn't find.. however as the names were too close to be wrong I decided to asign the count to the names we had rather than the letters we collected.. calculations were performed and a plausible GZ was checked against nearby caches to see that it was clear of other caches and we were soon ariving to make the quick find on an cache container type that we had found earlier in the night.. Thanks Team Geo Amigios for the fun series of interesting and varied hides.. Dipped FTF Tracker, night caching coin and GPS TB..
