norman 2 was transferred from scotty12345 to user Jessescott25

Couldn't find. Will go back soon and have another look.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

After my plans were spoiled of going and doing the ‘T4.5 Tree Climb Trail’ in Walla Walla, I decided to clean up as much of west Wagga as possible. This is because I still had a little bit of time up my sleeve but not enough to make it Walla and back. There were a various amount of hides and challenges which led to a great day out. TB visit on all found caches today. On some of the smaller log books/sheets I signed as 30/8 JM. I did enjoy my few hours out and I would like to thank all CO’s of the caches I found and for the fun I had while finding them.
Today's Totals:
18 Finds
1 DNF's

After arriving at GZ for this one, I made the find of the badly damaged container after a short time. The log sheet was swimming in water. THIS ONE WILL NEED SOME TLC. I got a fresh piece of paper out and put my mark on it. I am not sure how long it will last because I didn't have a zip-lock bag. I hid it under some camo on the ground and as best as I could to prevent water from entering it again but I don't know how long it will last. Maybe the next finder (or the CO) could bring a replacement cache with them next time it is visited.

Checked all the likely and all the unlikely spots but no luck with this one today unfortunately.

Checked them all and no show.

Found. Free cool.

Found on the 18/02/2018 at 7:27:00 AM

My second and last day of my last minute decision to travel into the Riverina region to cache.
With an early start and a full cup of coffee I was ready to hunt.

In the end I totalled 81 finds for the day, and got back home just after dark.

I found this one on the ground. placed it in the tree in the likely spot.

Thanks for the caches.

Catching up with some late logs

This was our last day in town for this trip before catching the train back to Melbourne later this afternoon and The Drovers kindly offered to take Mrs Crackers out to look for a few more caches.

Again we were pleased to find this part of the park deserted, it may have been a lot more difficult to retrieve the cache if a game had been in progress but as it was the GPSr led me directly to the hide and our name was added to the log.

Thanks once more for the cache scotty 12345 taipan man for the cache.

Easy find with the geo-dogs. Lots of muggles in area.

Another easy find, after I drove around from norman.

Nice, easy find

Easy find. Lovely location

Lovely park! Loved the horses! TFTC

No sign...

My final day exploring Wagga. I stopped to log this find. Thanks for the hide.

Very well hidden

Couldn't spot it today.

Found this one on our caching holiday from Adelaide. We were trying to get to a couple of nearby puzzle caches when we couldn't get off the road and ended up at Norman's Oval.
Thanks for the cache.

Gorgeous Clydesdales!!!

out & about with morodies for a few caches

Quick find while out with riverinarelcs.TFTC

The long weekend had arrived! What better way than to make the most of it and jump in the car to go on a geo getaway?!

After a quick stop for lunch and an icy cold drink, time to get moving again and nab this one. Found after a few moments of searching at the base of the tree. So after signing the log, I've returned it to a spot in the tree matching the description

Thanks for yet another, scotty12345

Tftc! Nice and quick.

a short trip with the kid's and found.

This version of 'norman' was a nice easy find after a bike ride around the parklands [^]

TFTC and a bit of exercise this morning !!

Another short walk and the cache was soon in hand.

Nice stroll across playing field

A relatively quick find. Nice area.

Found by Mary & David at 1015. Quite a park here for the locals with lots of facilities. We were particularly impressed by the number of trees that have been planted around the fences. A few of the claret ash are starting to show colour already. Found the cache quickly. Our thanks to scotty12345.

Out early today to get a few caches in the cool of the morning before having to retreat to our airconditioned caravan as the termperatures rise in the afternoon. These caches around Wagga gave a great chance to have a look around and to marvel on the creativity of some of the hides. Thanks to scotty12345 for placing this cache.

Tftc, quick find longer walk. Tfth

A quick find here to make up for the frustration and lack of success with the other Norman TFTC scotty

Found it after the power trail.
Nice quick find.

Found while on a great Caching expedition to Wagga Wagga with the WEEO, first time I have been exhausted by caching! (sorry for the late log). TFTC

Just had a great Caching experience with the Newberys caching the RGGT trail with the Newberys. We ejoyed it so much we just kept going to do these local caches. TFTC TNLN.

Gotcha Tftc

Awesome find
Many muggles around the area!!!!

a fast grab tftc scotty12345

See previous log. The logbook is wet and may need checking...

Found on our Wagga Wagga trip. After failing to find the cache at the playground, we drove over to the other side of the area for a much quicker find. Nicely hidden away from the public in a nice area. However the log is wet and may need checking. TFTC scotty12345!

Nice cache and a bonus watching the don training.

quick find thanks

Nice big park area - footy, dog oval, etc... Signed the log. Thanks scotty12345

[:(!] While in Wagga for the week I picked a few caches and this was one of them, parked the geocar as close as possible to GZ and walked in from there, on arrival at GZ the cache was in hand in a matter of minutes.

SL TFTC/TFTH Scotty12345 [^]

Having DNFed the nearby one the playground, this one provided quick redemption. Thanks for the series Scotty.

Weather is not bad, little hot day... Great enjoyed drive around of Wagga Wagga for caches, easy to find as very well hide, thanks

Quick easy drive by. TFTC

Nice quiet spot at an interesting park. TFTC

No cricketers today on a quiet Sunday TFTC

A plan was struck with Boot65 to head down the highway from Canberra to collect the RGGT Trail as well as some extra's if we had the time. We had an extra seat in the car, so Rapidlywild joined in the trek. As we had finished the trail it was time to collect a few more around. The muggles from the previous hide watched us trek across to this one, quick grab and we were on our way. TFTC, log was signed as RFB.

2820. Found with FurfacesLL and Rapidlywild. Nearly a real drive by!
TFTC.

Well it was time to invade Wagga Wagga again. Boot65 and FurfacesLL had planned a day trip over to attack the powertrail then move over and knock off some other unfinished caches. So there was a seat left and I requested to fill it.

We began the morning nice and early (although Boot65 forgot to wake in time it seems [:p]) and headed into Wagga Wagga arriving just after 0930. On the way in, we collected a few caches that FurfacesLL hadn't picked up yet and a newish one outside of Yass to get ourselves warmed up for the day.

The target of the morning was the powertrail, so after having breakfast, arriving in Wagga Wagga, we bee-lined to the start of the trail. With everyone on board, a custom stamp made for the trip, the powertrail was knocked off in just over 2 and a half hours. Nice work guys

This left plenty of time to knock over some more Wagga Wagga ones we had unfound. So we worked our way around Wagga picking up caches as we went along. Some I already had, others I didn't. In total, I made about 29 odd finds today and the rest of the crew cleared 100 easily.

The weather was nice, the company was great, the snake that gave one of the FF ladies a heart attack was not so great however was funny. There was plenty of laughter throughout the day and many logs signed. Thanks for another eventful day Wagga Wagga.

Thanks for bringing me along FurfacesLL and Boot65, we are slowly cleaning Wagga out lol.

Thanks for the cache scotty12345

Started to search but as I turned around it was made easy for me as the cache was on the ground. I think my thoughts were I will take that as time is getting short.

SL TFTC replaced in a better spot.

After driving to southern Sydney Friday on a work trip I'm heading home via a couple of days in Wagga.
Today was a day to knock over the new power trail along with a few other caches in and around Wagga.

This was a quick and simple find with no muggles anywhere in sight.

Thank you for the cache scotty12345.
#2450th @ 1252hrs and 90th of 103 for the day.

Nice touch with the container

Wagga weekend trip with Mtrax, Tankengine and Noikmiester to visit new caches and find the Riverina trail Day 2. It looked like some event was just winding up, so I walked over here to visit this spot. All well and a very nice park for all sorts of activities. Yet another milestone passed, happy about that ! Thanks.

Weekend trip to Wagga to complete the RGGT series and others in and around Wagga. Traveled down with Tankengine , Alibda and Norkmiester
Day 2 and some more caching in Wagga.
Fortunately the Dog show was just winding up so we could make our search with too much trouble..

Found at 2:14:00 PM.

Headed out to Wagga with mtrax, Tankengine and albida for a power trail and other caching.

A bonus cache after the playground.

Thanks

Mrs jacko found this one after a few moments searching. We are never sure about caches in these areas but today was nice and quiet so we had no problems.
TFTC

I was greeted this morning with a calendar free of any entries, including work, so I arranged with Veddadog to go for a tour of the Riverina, picking up 54 finds, 6 DNF's and 450km in a solid 12 hours.

A slightly quicker find than the last, but the GPSr seemed a little unsure under the trees. All's well that elds well, though

TFTC

A nice park area for a couple of caches. A short look around in the trees and the cache was in hand. Thanks for bringing us to this nice park. Good spot to have a breather before heading off to the next spot.

Bit easier than Norman was. Found this one during a break in our search for Norman. Interesting name for a cricket oval - was that the fellow's name or couldn't he bat very well? TFTC scotty12345

Found on a trip to the Area with Crazy! Nat Girl so she could indulge in a little Munzee scanning. Thanks for the cache.

This is our final day of caching in Wagga, there has been some good quality & varied caches.
We have enjoyed our stay & will have to return one day to find the many still left to be found.
Found this one quickly.

After missing out at norman...this was a quick find.

Thanks scotty12345

GPS had us at the wrong tree. Drover's paper nice & dry.

Another container full of water.
Replaced log paper.

Found this nice and quick after having no luck with Norman.

Really wet inside cache. TFTH

Found today with the family after a short search. The log is sodden, & needs drying out. the kids always love coming to this park.
TFTC

#2666 After a DNF on the other norman cache, this was not so hard to locate. Given the time of year the cache was well concealed. Thanks again scotty12345 and taipan man for the cache. Interesting to see a cricket pitch that isn't also used as a footy ground.

Nice little hide in a very quite park, early in the morning. TFTC.

Very nice use of camoflauge. TFTC

Travelled a short distance from the previous cache to grab this one, much easier than the last, with 4 sets of eyes, watch for bees in the trees this time of year and the cache guardians are fierce blood suckers.

On a caching run around Albury/Wodonga with Big Matt, steeba and FarmerFrentzen this was one of a few we found over our 4 day spree.

After being drenched at Norman we decide to keep going and grab this one.
Thanks

Found with The Rats, Big Matt and Shell and FarmerFrentzen on our pre-mega Albury trip.

A nice quick one after a pleasant walk in the park. TFTC!

Our 5723rd overall find.

Found with FarmerFrentzen, The Rats and steeba on our Albury invasion trip. A quick wander across the field for this one. Will the rain ever stop?

Thanks scotty12345 for the cache.

Found with Big Matt and Shell, Steeba and The Rats during a pre Mega trip to Albury / Wodonga.

A short walk around from the previous find and we made a reasonably quick find.

Thanks scotty12345 for the cache.

The 2nd of many on a night caching run with Haveanez and Marcus Vitruvius.

Only logical that we should do this one after Norman. Bit harder to find in the dark but Big Ez made the find.

TFTC, Cheers.

Found and logged at 10:00, A quick find today dodging the mugglers and there dogs on the other side of the oval
Thanks scotty12345

Nice quick find in a deserted park. Thanks scotty!

Reperio at 1045.

After finding 'Norman', it was over to his brother nearby, and with four of us looking, this one took us longer than it should have. The coords pin pointed one particular tree, but with nowhere to hide a cache, we opted to search elsewhere, and eventually found the cache several meters away.

Gratias scotty12345.

Found with DazRascal & MV on a group cache run.
A short drive away (yes we drove) from Norman where all eyes were on deck for this one aswell before it was finally spotted.
GPS had us bouncing between the trees.
Log was a tad damp, but hopefully these warm days will dry it out.
TFTC in this nice reserve. Cheers.

#373 Found at 1450 this was an easy find with the gps indicating that I was 5M away from GZ I think the DNF at norman may be a result of not obtaining the actual GZ to conduct the search. However this hide and the cammoflarge of the container are worth the hour I spent at the park.

Thanks scotty12345 for another great hide

This park always deserved a cache hide and now it has two.
No one around today and found quickly , then signed the micro sheet.

Thanks to scotty 12345 for the well camo'd cache.
