Geocache Description:


Thunderbirds - Path of destruction

The “Thunderbirds” was a television series created in 1965.

It featured the Tracy family living on Tracy Island and working for International Rescue.

Between 1965 and 1968, 32 episodes and two feature films were produced.

This cache series uses the names of these episodes and feature films.
Some caches use a code based on the Thunderbirds to mask some of the coordinates. You’ll need to do a little bit of research.

Episode 2 Season 2 - Path of destruction

An automated logging machine which converts wood into fuel threatens to cause mayhem if it collides with a South American dam under construction after its crew collapses from food poisoning. 

 

 

The cache is not a the listed coordinates. You will not to solve the following to find the cache.

S 27 48.XXX    E 153 06.YYY

If the machine is called:

"CrabWalker" then XXX = 101

"CrabLogger" then XXX = 201

"Thunderbird 6" then XXX = 301

"AutoLogger" then XXX = 401

 

YYY = 260 + John - Gordon

 

Checksum YYY - XXX = 60.

 

The cache is in a new housing estate.

From the lack of trees you might think the automated logging machine had been through here.

A large park was built to attract buyers. the main feature is a water jet playground. Unfortunately the water was turned off soon after the grand opening in January 2014. Hopefully the water will be flowing when you go. 

FTF to Crew153. Within an hour of publishing Crew153 was off on the hunt.
