Ready Player One – More than Meets the Eye Wellington Forest, Western Australia, Australia
By itdepends on 24-Aug-13. Waypoint GC4KRKP

Looked very long and very hard maybe be gps was off it had us in the middle if the track

I thought I had already archived thos one, my apologies for the runaround for those that have attempted to find it recently.

????

We came, we looked, we searched up, down, inside, outside, all around with no luck here
One rather large black stump and a huge jarrah tree that has recently fallen down.
A very clever cammo from all the notes, I'm hoping it's just a case of caching blindness rather than the cache gone missing .
Thanks for the location, hopefully better luck nex time

TFTC - clever cache

Tricky and clever all the same. I was about to throw in the towel but persevered after reading prior logs. The penny dropped and I as I went looking, I stumbled across the sneaky hide. I had to use some "tooling" to get it out. TFTC, it almost had me "stumped" haha. Nice one!

Headed down to potter's gorge and this one was on mybradsr after missing it last trip
I think I picked the perfect time and day for this. 5.30 in the morning on a forecast 40deg day.

After the hike up to the last one, this was a far easier stroll to gz and after a bit of hunting I turned my attention elsewhere to a well camod cache. A fav point from me.

Thanks heaps to itdepends for placing and maintaining Ready Player One – More than Meets the Eye. Glad to grab an unplanned cache today. I added my name to the log and replaced where I found it.

Tricky but after changing our thought patterns we found it ... we took a photo as we forgot a pen

Well done great cache

On a road trip to Wellington Dam, this was another cache we found whilst exploring the area... After making the short walk to GZ, we begun searching the obvious object before realising the gizmo wanted us to go a little further DangerMouse09 soon spotted something not quite right & of course it had to be the cache [^]

Thanks itdepends We always enjoying finding well constructed caches that some effort has been put into, cheers!

We were out camping for 4 days with GeoHuntorz and spent a little time hunting caches as well.
This one was found by Amber (GeoHuntorz) and is worthy of a favourite point.
TFTC itdepends

A very sneaky hide.
TFTC itdepends this is find # 3781 for us.ok

After a short walk I soon figured this one out. TFTC

Got it! Cheeky. www.thesoloavocado.com

love this area.. thanks..

Nice hide. Was looking in the wrong spot at first, but rereading the hint put me in the right direction. Tftc!

TFTC! Had a mission today. Day trip to Bunbury to complete some goals, some more important than others! We had a couple of archived caches to grab, one in dardanup and another south of Mandurah. The second was a cache to fill a square in our jasmer grid in the Wellington Forrest and the third a little less (or more) caching related depending on how you look at it, collecting steves pillow He left at our accomodation from last weeks mega caching weekend.

We met in Byford this morning, heading down South West Highway towards Harvey where we had a couple of caches near Harvey dam to collect which we didn't have time to grab on the way home from our trip on the weekend. All found relatively quickly except for running out of reception as one of us, who is in charge of the days list and saving offline etc forgot to do!!

We made our way around coming down to pickup bowling C our archived cache which was on better condition than most active caches I've seen lately, if I must say.

We then went down and grabbed Lenard Zinn cache which fills in yet another jasmer grid for us, we've nearly maxed out our potential squares we can fill in WA without venturing to the Northwest.

We then moved our attention to the leschenault peninsula and a few older caches on the list there which have always been in the too hard basket. Unfortunately we were left with a locked gate which meant we had to leave three behind as it was getting late in the day and we didn't have time to complete the 14km return walk from the potential parking spot.

We then were on the home stretch towards Mandurah where a cache Steve always had his eye on lives, the legendary "spider island", a lovely cache by "the explorer", love their hides. A nice walk exactly a kilometre from shore and a nice quick find once we got into the middle of the island.

I do recall having the mickey taken out of me for wearing "me swimming shoes", but only one of us was laughing when the other was complaining about stepping on and getting bitten by all these crabs in the area! Should bring a net back I think!!

Thanks to the local COs for an awesome day out. Only 20odd caches, not a huge day for numbers, but a good day for the stats. Thanks

Thanks for the hide. Busy working out these caches hopefully we can solve them in one more hit. Couldn't find the hint in this one even looking with the suggested implement.

Couldn't find the cache for a while but then spotted it. Very clever! Couldn't get the log book out for a while though as it must have come in contact with some fresh glue when the cache was being put together. Managed to eventually extract it with a tool from the car- all good now. TFTC - a favourite from us.

The road is reopened but the bridge is no more. You can see the old logs that used to make the bridge at the parking spot and on the upstream side of the culvert. Cache relocated up an old track. It's a nice walk.

Re-enabled after relocation

The DPAW has scheduled bridgework on Lennard drive which will be closed from tomorrow (2nd May) to the 12th of May. It looks like they'll be working on the bridge this cache is hidden under so I'm temporarily disabling it and have brought the cache home for some maintenance.

Doing some 4x4ing in the area and managed to stop for this one

Great cache, found by geohubby using the clue. TFTC

took a while to find it but then geoman found it .

Took a while but we found it. Thankyou for this challenge

Fun

Met up with iluvtrekking and richlinks for another day out...TFTC

Received a call from richlink asking me to take a look at this puzzle and the others in the series. I was bogged down with a family crisis and didn't get around to it until later so with richlinks encouragement the puzzles were solved and a date for the assault was set. Thanks itdepends, we loved these caches and the Wellington Dam area is awesome.

Must admit I have never played an arcade game so when I first looked at these puzzles two years ago I relegated them to the 'too hard basket' immediately. So recently I was flicking through the 'basket' and came upon the 'Mr Thomas' puzzle and decided to give it a go. Surprisingly the CO confirmed that I had solved it and he encouraged me to stretch myself to solve the others. It was not an easy task as I didn't understand any of the game technology or the language but I managed to solve all the puzzles within the next week. Buoyed by my success I coaxed our geo-companions to have a go too so that we could attempt the series together. After competing in the Busso Mudfest yesterday, we headed out later than expected this morning towards Wellington Dam. Steep descent to gz but another quick find of a very clever camo. Thanks itdepends for your encouragement and we loved the series.

this proved too hard for me today

Loved this cache- awesome fun hide- tftc

Nice little find

clever camo enjoyed the search tftc

In Bunbury for the weekend catching up with friends, showing 2 international exchange students around and getting a bit of caching in. Today it was lunch at a brewery in the Ferguson Valley and then the caching. After visiting Gnomesville, the King Jarrah and Wellington dam, we set off back to Bunbury, picking up a couple of caches along the way.

Initially overshot this cache so had to do a quick reverse back to the car park. Took us a while to work out where to look but eventually worked it out and made the connection to the hint and soon hand the cache to hand.

Thanks for the cache itdepends [^] - cache was in good condition but we think it has suffered some cache creep, either due to natural or man made forces as it was over 10m from our GZ.

A lovely clear stream greeted us as we started our search. The nicely presented cache was quickly on our hands as we admired the bridge structure. Tftc

Enjoyed this one with copwots. Had a few caches laughs at his expense. Liked the camo. TFTC.

Last cache for today as I had taken too long as some of the previous caches and I still had to head over to the highway to go home. Found the cache without problems.

Thanks itdepends for the cache.

Sneaky hide but located quickly TFTC gum-nuts

FTF!! after coming back for a second time we managed to think outside the square and with the title "more than meets the eye" it was quite obvious once our eyes had opened! TFTC now onto the next in this awesome series!!
