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.

Logs
Oh and to the person who asked "WHY?" in the log, the answer is because. Sorry i can't be more helpful but your question was lacking in detail.
Tougher than I expected in the dark, but quickly achieved nonetheless.
Thanks.
After retreating to the Geomobile we signed the logs and replaced the cache with the described camo. TFTPT
TFTC.
FIN
Found nice and quickly this afternoon after work.
... Numbers !
TFTC !
Thanks cantanga for the novel caches.
So, the powertrail did take a little longer than what i expected. Do i put it down to stupidity, lazyness, lack of satilites in sky, leaves, or sheer dumb luck? I dont know.
Left a pen, and a safety pin, for future finders. (Because i'm sure i'm not the only person who was grumbling and cursing that "OMFGHOWTHEHELLAMIGOINGTOGETTHATOUTOFTHERE?" )
The end! Thanks for the lolworthy cache series
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.

So I hope us number tarts (cleanest version) are keeping you as entertained as you are entertaining us - and upping the finds per day count.
TFTC and the Malcolm the spot.
Thanks for the laugh and the numbers.
An interesting idea cantanga and well done variation on Zal's Poison cache.
All found and signed. Thanks for the cache(s)
