Description

Well more of a Jar than a can

Powertrails are a craze that seem to be sweeping the geocaching world. Love or hate them they are here to stay it seems. In the good ol' US of A they have trails up to 1,500 caches. Here in Oz we are a bit lazier. We have much smaller trails seemingly usually between 10 and 30 caches. We even have the smallest powertrail, Roundcircle’s Aussie powertrail of a single cache. Even Canberra is in on the powertrail action with the Tuggeranong hill powertrail series and the bikers series.

However, powertrails are still too much effort. Having to move at least 160m to find the next micro seems like a lot of effort, and the worlds shortest one does not boost your stats enough to make it a really worth it. But what’s the solution?

Well this cache is!

A powertrail of 10 caches all conveniently located in a single jar. Like all good number boosting caches these are micros and hidden unimaginably and in a boring park with no interesting features in suburbia. Somewhat like Zalgariath's -= POISON CACHE =- there is nothing going for it except to flush out number hunters. Like this cache I will also post a wall of shame for those who don't log it online as found (provided I'm motivated enough, after all it is a lazy cache).

In order to claim each cache you must fill in each of the logs after all you should have to do something to be able to boost your stats. I will delete any online log that is not on the cache log.

This is a limited time only cache due to the absurdity of it (I kind of feel dirty placing it), so grab your numbers before numbers run out.

To whoever asked am i done yet? The answer now is yes. The answer when you wrote it depends. If you did them in order then no there was 3 more to go

While Anna got her nails done, I thought I would dash down to Tuggeranong quickly for a handful of finds.
Tougher than I expected in the dark, but quickly achieved nonetheless.
Thanks.

Grabbed this one with Ju after a stage practice at Erindale tonight. As we approached GZ the cache was sitting there exposed.

After retreating to the Geomobile we signed the logs and replaced the cache with the described camo. TFTPT Clapping

I like the aspect of Urambi Hills from this area. Inspecting the contents of the jar was quite amusing. I thought it worthy of trotting back to the car to happily log in air-conditioned warmth. T4TCs

It's a nice little park over there, very quite on a Sunday afternoon in this the coolest part of the year, at least the shortest day / (longest night) has just gone past now. Uh Oh running out of things to talk about for the logs. TBC TFTC's

The second one-stop power trail Ive done in the last 2 weeks, having also done RoundCircle's power trail in Ballarat.

Thanks cantanga for the novel caches.

And so we continue. When I described the concept to Mr Winglen as we headed down here, he observed that this is surely stretching the 'no rules' of GCA a lot - but who cares. It is about the numbers sometimes and this was fun, thanks Catanga Very Happy

Thank goodness someone left a safety pin.... These little tykes are hard to remove. All done though, TFTMs.
 
17-Jun-11
And then i had the problem of how am i going to get the log sheet out of there? I've got to have tweezers somewhere in my car!
...Ok, nope. Not even in the first aid kit.
Cant even find a bobby pin. (what sort of girl am i?)
oh dear. Found a safety pin, to kind of poke at the log to get it out. That seemed to work.

An interesting idea for a power trail.....and as the saying goes, you post it and they will come.

My visit was after dark and it tok a couple of minutes to find the cache. Signed the logs in the comfort of the car and then replaced the cache as found.

Thanks for a different type of cache.

Found in the dark with Albida now thats what I call a fast powertrail TFTC
 
15-Jun-11
After the initial find in the dark, the challenge was to get the notes out ! Thanks.

309. Well into the production the same flanney draped locals (couldn't see if they had mullets or not) came over the road and deposited what I thought was a guinea pig but was probably a dog on the ground. It did it's business which they didn't pick up and went on their way keeping a watch on the car.

TFTC and the Hollywood.

By this time my calves were getting a bit tight from squatting and signing logs.

A new challenge completed in a power trail series, to find or not to find.

An interesting idea cantanga and well done variation on Zal's Poison cache.

All found and signed. Thanks for the cache(s)

I'm not just into caching for the stats, but I couldn't let the opportunity for a quick and easy power trail go, especially if it is time limited. Found all ten. TFTC
 
13-Jun-11
Weirdness, Loopiness, CRAZINESS, madness, BUT FUN. Found and signed all.
 
13-Jun-11
Alas, try as I might, I could not find this cache! Sad A little like not seeing the trees for the forest I think! I did search for a while, but eventually my patience wore off… I’ll be back! Maybe…

Died of boredom...
