10000 STEPS #8 Sutherland, New South Wales, Australia
By CATONY on 13-Aug-13. Waypoint GC4JTE5

No longer live in the area so unable to do much needed maintenance.

Walking between these caches was easier than jumping in & out of the car ! The log is saturated & needs replacing. TFTC Catony

Enjoy 10000 STEPS series run around here for the day.
TFTC

Needs maint (wet through).

Thank you thank you.

Wasn't well covered so pretty easy to find.

TFTC

Going on an adventure

Thanks for hiding.

Too wet to sign.

I couldn't sign the cache as the content is filled with water with a soggy log inside all in bits and pieces. Needs maintenance. Thanks for the cache!

Out with Geokid3 on the last day of school hols.
Found it quickly, but it was saturated.

Could not even sign the log as it was mushy....
Maybe try to water proof (although the rain was torrential today)
TFTC.

Log is wet........

found cache but log was soaked so pen wouldn't work so couldn't sign the log

Log saturated. Nobody likes a soggy loggy man.

Found with SB69 and geowife. Log was saturated so didn't even attempt to sign it. Left TB. TFTC.

6193 Caches Found

Rumbled down the thin black line late last night through the Big Smoke towards the Sunderland Shire and uncharted Territory to try my hand at finding a few caches there in the cool of the dark. Thanks to all who made my evening memorable, Thanks for the adventure. Log needs replacing Saturated

Thanks for the great cache CATONY(8D)

Found it

Really wet and soggy

Very easy, there is no other spot it could be. Cache was flooded though water got through everything including the log from the recent rain. Tried to dry it out but needs new log, too wet to write on.

TFTC!
This was a fun find given recent wet weather - with the cache popping out to say hello.

Nice drive by find. TFTC

Found it. Traded pirate coins for collected cards

thanks

Another quick walk and grab while I'm on the 10000 steps walk. Nice crisp log.. Love it. Tftc

Removed soggy log and replaced with a new log and pencil with COs permission.

Log still soaked and unusable.

Contents still completely soaked but a sensible cacher has included more paper as a substitute log. Signed that one!

Thank you!

Cache is very very wet. Just writing an online log entry. Needs maintenance due to damp. TFTC

ITS WET, need make dry
On the way back from ride on moutain bike with my the best mate in Royal national park

A nice quick find while on holiday with loop1968, we decided to do part of this series between the 2 station as we were coming to look at the tram museum and the park close. TFTC

Easy find with alcoman on holiday from the UK TFTC

Australia and a few cache attend this trade for a smiley. Thanks for the nice round, so I could get to know the area better.

Easy to find, but cach is full of water can't write into log book, sorry.

I found a lot of the 10000 steps caches. Had an amazing day, and a lot of walking. Thanks for a great series! Best regards from Germany.

Sorry, this container was full of water.

The Number 8, this container was full of water.

Found it

Originally found on 10/8. l
I listed it as needing maintenance in my previous log apparently it has not added in my total finds.
So re logging as found .

I took my Grandson G Caching yesterday, decided to pick up the rest of 10000 steps.
Arrived at GZ and soon located this one ( the hint made it too easy)
Left Rivoli Italy TB so it may continue its journey.
Logs were really wet and need replacing. Suspect the container wasn't sealed correctly.

Log very damp. Found with McCharles on a pre Cruise Cache day out. TFTC

Found with Wollaston.

Found with kel tftc log book wet

Jumped into the tree for a 'close up' search and nearby squished the cache
Top hide.
The log is a little on the moist side. Pencil doesn't work but roller-ball seems to write okay.
Dropped in a "glass gem".
TFTC CATONY ... on to #9.

Nice place to hide, except that all the leaves were blown away. Logbook might need a night on the heater because of wetness.

And coins! Coins! Coins!

Someone put pirate gold in the cache! tftc

TFTC

With illogic... 2nd one of the day!

Found with chellemaree88. I added some pirate gold. The log is a bit soggy, but still able to be written on. TFTC.

#2,853

We only did one of this series today, as it was right next the road we were on. We shall have to return to complete the series. Maybe walking, or maybe by bike.

The hollow this one is hiding in has filled with water, and some has got into the container. The log is really wet, and hard to sign. I tried to reposition the container out of the water, so hopefully no more will get in.

Thanks

We happened to be driving past and I saw this on the map. Canary humoured Toriaz and I, since he had already found it, and let us go look while he waited in the car. It was a nice easy find. Thanks

Another one that was exposed but hidden now.

TFTC

Ironbark.

Found it

The tree gave me some good cover from the drizzle starting to fall. Decision time: head back to the car at loftus or continue and risk getting drenched? Continue on of course! TFTC

Reperio at 1655.

After attending an event in Wollongong earlier, I was headed home to Newcastle when I decided to make a short detour to find a few caches in the series. Arrived at GZ to find the cache sitting out in the open exposed. Placed it back in the obvious spot after signing the replacement log.

Gratias CATONY.

Found it

Quick find. Thanks

Woop woop... Found it with my Dad. Really enjoying the walk between them. Sad i may not have the time to complete them all. Tftc

Returning from our detour, I made a quick find.

Back to the Steps series and this one was next on the agenda and on our walk. Quick find.

Nice Easy Find, TFTC

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

We found one cache in the 10000 Steps series last night. In the twilight and dark this afternoon and evening we went to look for some more in the series, Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for the cache Catony.

A quick find on the coldest day since last July. Good to keep moving. TFTC CATONY

A welcome break and exercise while up in Sydney due to family illness. It was good to get out, even in the rain!

TFTC Catony!

Was out in the open. Inside the tree but could be seen from the street.. Log very wet, dried out a little , and hidden better..

easy

Easy find on my walking tour of Southerland. New dry log in place. 2nd to sign in. Thanks to whoever added it. Dropped a trackables from California. TFTC!!

Replaced the sodden Log. Old log is still there to collect.

I walked on from #9 and soon had CIH. Due to the sodden condition of the log book I was unable to sign it properly so I took a photo. Unfortunately, I had no supplies with me today so could not replace the log.

Thanks for the cache CATONY.

Currently we are not in a position to do mainanance on our 10000 steps series, can the next finder please dry the container & replace the bag and or log book if they need replacing please, it would be much appreciated.
Cheers from CATONY.

Yebo, am almost at Sutherland and got this one.
Whoever had found it previously, that wasn't nice, the cache was not closed properly, the logbook not in the bag, so now we had a pool in the cache and everything is wet wet wet.
Took photolog

The log book is ABSOLUTELY SATURATED and needs drying out or replacing.

I've never been in this area before and thought a 7am stop for some caches on the way south would be easy.
Not so, where do you park?????
Finally found somewhere and made my way to GZ.
An easy find, the cache was quite exposed sitting in a puddle of water. Sort of signed the log as it was so wet my pen wouldn't write properly.
TFTC

Sistema was filled with water and log soaked. So I left log out of the baggie and cache on a makeshift raft on top of the "pond" with twigs and sorta dry leaf litter on top. Hopefully it will dry out.

11/18 - logbook is a bit wet though. TFTC

11/18. Should knock over the whole series today at this rate. Found with brad elms TFTC

Keen eye Jimmy spots it - 12 down, nice camo, TFTC

Gotcha !!! TFTC

I thought I would have trouble getting this one, but it had a back entrance. Thanks for a good hide, easy with no-one around.
