Hi Fred,

 

Great list. Wish I had the foresight. Here's a link from May 7th at MS Flight Forum:

http://msflightforum...g/about302.html

Looks like "WAILEA BEACH" is right.

Hi again,

 

Found these screen shots from 5/11. Don't recall the name though. Maybe somebody can identify the area?

Hi yet again,

 

Just noticed the moving map. Still don't recall the name but this was the start point of the Molokai to Oahu race.

Hi Jim.

I just found out that May 7th was KAAAWA VALLEY. (WAILEA BEACH was a re-run of April 6th.)

and May 11th (your pics) are MAUNALOA HARBOR (south coast Molokai)

So that fills in the 2 gaps I had for May. Thanks for your help.

 

Fred.

Hi Folks

 

Fred -

Jim's screenies triggered a flashback.

 

May 11th MAUNALOA HARBOR isn't the name of the aerocache,

 

ISTR it was something along the lines of -

Interisland Race, Ocean Challenge, Boat Race, whatever.

 

The clue was something like -

The annual Molokai to Oahu Outrigger Competition starts here.

 

EDIT -

Just realised Jim's followup actually mentions the race.

Thanks for that info Paul !

Just got todays aero Mauna Lei Gulch so now have 147 in game. (with Curvature not doable + one aero which could not be got because it was bugged,

that brings the list to 149. The Aerocache folder shows 152 so expecting 3 more in the next few days.

folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Flight\Shared\UI\Aerocaches has today 304 pictures : one thumbnail and one preview for each aerocache, each aerocache with one UI; so 152 aerocaches as per today

we need now to find where our aerocaches are marked "got"

Great finding! Now... where's that "got" mark :-)

[RoboRay 126]

In the cloud, probably.

Ok, then I'll try to find it in my Radar displays here at the Metoffice :-)
