Collaboration: The art of working together as a group to achieve a goal.
Preliminaries:
There is no cache hidden at the posted coordinates, but you will need to start somewhere very close to there.
There is plenty of off street parking near the starting coordinates.
This cache is based on the Makku Mob Caches placed by "RoddyC" in Queensland. I have done a couple of them and really enjoyed them They are a great way to meet up with fellow geocaching friends, and have some fun caching. Many thanks to RoddyC for allowing me to copy his ideas.
So, a Mob Cache is a Social Cache. In order to find the location of this cache, you will need to bring along some of your friends! The more friends you have, the easier it is to find the cache. If you are short of numbers though, what better way to make new friends, than to reach out to the local geocaching community, to meet up and assist with this cache.
For this cache you need a minimum of THREE cachers to meet at the posted co-ordinates with their smart phones.
For First Timers:
You should pre-test that your PHONE'S BROWSER is compatible before attempting this cache. To do this,
Go to the Flash Mob URL: https://geotrailsw.com/mob/
Click 'Allow' if you see a button requesting device location.
You will see something like the following:
Notice: geomobs are currently broken on Android Chrome browser. Please use Firefox (or another non chrome based browser) until this is fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience.
What is a geomob?
It is not a flash mob event. It's similar though. A geomob allows you to create a physical geocache that requires a mob size of your choosing to collect themselves at a location of your choosing before the coordinates - or other message - is revealed. Everybody in the geomob will need a reasonably modern smart phone in order to participate.
NOTE: If your S and E are zeros, your device's browser is NOT "location enabled": that is your BROWSER, not the device itself. You will need to fix this first - 'Google is your friend'.
For Everyone:
Go to the Flash Mob URL: https://geotrailsw.com/mob/
Use this MOB id: 4343 and tap 'Submit'.
This is a Single-Stage Mob Cache. The final location is not far away
You will receive the coordinates and hint for the final only when THREE Geocachers are connected at the same time; i.e. your screen will show 3/3 (or 4/3, 5/3 - depending upon how many fellow cachers you have).
It would be a great idea if someone in your group IMMEDIATELY takes a screen snapshot to minimise the risk of losing the screen. OR, you could just write down the coordinates and hint for the final.
You can WALK to the final - it is not far away.
Good Luck!
