Description

These Poké-Balls are sick of transporting cute Nintendo Mascots, and now play bingo!

 There once were 4 Poké-Balls who were tired of transporting Pokémon around and wanted to join in on the new world wide craze* BINGO. So they kicked out their cute Japanese pocket monsters and replaced them with a geocache and log book.

This ball, "Poké-Ball Bingo #47", is racing around the country helping you to fill in your Geo-Bingo Card! It would love to knock off as many of the number "47"  targets as possible. It automatically stamps your Geo-BINGO Cards if you move it 1km or more :D

*NB: Not actually world wide or crazed.

 

It is a Red and White Poké-Ball with a micro cache inside. However, it is unsure if the new paint job is weather proof so keeping it high and dry may be best! It's other 3 Poké-pals are Poké-Ball Bingo #37, #44 & #48. Together they will stamp off your Geo-Bingo cards over December and January this 2012/13 Summer! 

 

 

If you find it, take it with you and log a "FOUND" Entry. Then find it a new home and take the co-ordinates there and come back to log a "MOVED" entry. Remember you must move it more than 1km for its Bingo Stamping mission to be successful!!

Please try NOT to hide it next to existing GC.com caches so he doesnt get stolen by mistake!

Reviewing active moveable caches - it appears to have gone

After leaving a moveable down the trail we had a look for this one as it was nearby. However all the holes in the concrete blocks in the vacinity of GZ were full of putrid water. We pocked around with our sticks and moved some of the mud but as we had no plastic gloves with us we didnt search through the mess with our hands. Suggest next visitor take gloves. This one may still be there but we couldn't find any evidence.

This cache was on our way home after touring around part of the Tamar Valley. After parking at the very good spot, accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. Welcome to Tassie Poke-Ball. We will continue your tour of the island very soon. Thanks Zhaomin for the cache.

Wow that is a LOT of caches my BB brought home! I would have gone too but some of us had to go to work. Now my house is full of Gnomes, frogs, Bingos and Angels! I’m going to have to do something about this and start hiding them again before they take over our unit once and for all! Very Happy

Operation: Dawn of War (Clan Phoenix Clan Phoenix Gnomeland Raid)

Cache Condition:
Havent seen you for a while! We got note some of your friends may be AWOL this week so glad one is still intact!

Operation Summary: Leaving Sydney at 4am to reach The Gnomelands by dawn I kicked off the 'The Great Mount Piddington Moveable Challenge' with a raid of freedom to release over 60 moveables from their mountain prison to freedom. 4.5 hours of morning caching saw a good few sack-fulls return with me to Sydney.

The caches have been moved to St Leonards for some TLC and a bath so don’t go looking for them there. They will be released shortly in various locations.

Pohe-Ball Bingo #47 has joined with a group of disenchanted Gnomes in the occupation of this tract of land, the aim being to secede from Australia and create their own independent country.
However with Gnomes in charge this may turn into a dictatorship, it remains to see if emmigration is greater than immigration.

Poke-Ball Bingo #47 has joined a mass exodus of moveables led by renegade Gnomes, who knows what they plan to do? They are all in hiding for now while hatching their nefarious plans. No point looking for any of them they are nowhere to be found until they are ready to reveal their ultimate goal.
