Last night I saw that some of this series that I hadn't yet found was archived, so I took a gamble that they were still actually in place. The best opportunity was an early morning raid. It was still dark when I started with a beautiful full moon. As I cached the moon set and on the drive home the sun rose. Another quick find here. TFTC.

Gorgeous day for bits bicentennial walk

Releasing the spot for another Geocache. Thank you to everyone who found my Geocaches.

These are great for my find count. TFTC

#1737 A quick after work geo-adventure.
A simple find. TFTC JackaKid.

A great day out caching with the Geoson The storms were threatening but we were determined to get some caches done before it broke. This is a nice hide and a great highlight of our day Thanks JackaKid for the cache. TNLN SL

Found with the WEEO on a great caching day on the way home before the second storm.

Today I planned a big day of caching with my friend Gepru. The plan was to do the new part of the CCT trail that was recently published and then head into Gold Creek to collect a couple more. I picked Gepru up early, at 8, and we were on the trails by 8:30. He wanted to see the most northern point in the ACT so we found Northern Exposure first before beginning the trail.

On the trail, it was all easy finds made as we chatted away. We enjoyed the views at CCT - S3 - The Throne and Fire Finder II. We made good time, only being delayed at CCT - S3 - Speeding because the GPS was all over the place and there was a big brown snake very close to GZ. After a slight delay there, we eventually made it to Hall. There were quite a lot of muggles right next to CCT - S3 - The Last of Three but eventually we found the cache.

After finishing up the CCT trail, we continued on past Barton Highway TB Hotel so Gepru could make the find and then collected Lonely Gum and Power of North before continuing on to finish the Jackakid series (well, the ones that were still there when I visited). After that we headed into Gold Creek, picking up a few more and making our way over toward Meerkat Manor. We searched for Meerkat Manor by ourselves at first and couldn't find it so went off to find Oz Rock - The Angels' 3rd Album (which I found on the ground). After my dad picked us up, we went back to Meerkat Manor and found it pretty quickly after arriving.

Thanks to all the COs who placed caches! I apologize for the generic logs, I had a really great (if rainy) day with Gepru!

Another quick find along the trail. Even felt like a real mountain biker going through a puddle! [^] Thanks JackaKid

Thought I would grab the other caches in this spot. Only one out of three. TFTC Jackakid.

Third find today while out with grandson on a gentle caching expedition. A quick find and soon the log was signed and the cache returned to its hidey hole. TFTC SL as SG

ACTchil and I went out to grab a couple of caches especially these ones we hadn't got yet. After not finding 47 we kept out fingers crossed that this one was there, and yep a smile on our face. Such a nice little stroll on this cloudy day, just started to sprinkle rain so quickly to 49. tftc JackaKid

found with Darzee Di on a nice Saturday afternoon tftc JackaKid

Found on a lovely Christmas Eve walk with Zephyr

A two day trip to Canberra to pick up a few caches and to attend an event.
With a good variety of cache hides, we were kept busy.

Cache was found quickly, and in good condition. Signed the log, and replaced.
Many thanks for placing this cache, JackaKid, for us and others to find.

Quick grab on the way to Canberra from central Coast.... stay for month spend time with family for xmas... easy found and good hide well... Thank

Nice quick find on a surprisingly fine day for caching! TFTC

Our visit to Canberra is in its closing stages and with a visit to Cockington Green and the Dino museum with the grand daughter and family, there was still time to fit in a couple more Canberra caches. Parked safely and followed the GPSr. A bit of a look around and then spotted. Signed the log and rehid. TFTC jackaKid. Love the VC series including the ones down the Hume and Fed Highway.

Found while in Canberra for the weekend in the company of Rapidlywild. Thanks for the fun JackaKid

Day 2 of caching around Canberra with Coruze from Albury/Wodonga. We picked up a handful of caches last night prior to resorting back to the warmth of the house.

As we continued our travels south side, this was the next target. After a spider fright at the last cache, we decided to head back towards the north and grab these 4 caches before heading home. We had done a nice number of caches today so we were content and ready to chill. Once parked, these caches were nice quick finds, logs signed, caches rehidden before we headed home.

Thanks for the cache placement JackaKid

Thought we would get one closer to home tonight. Quick detour park and a little wander.
Quick find at GZ and on our way again.

Quickly located and moved onto the next. TFTC

Swung by this one to grab as the good old daily.

Parked the car in the pull off area and then wandered up for the nice, easy find [^]

Thanks for another one, JackaKid

Nice and easy find. Cheers

Next drive by. TFTC.

Out for the day with MGROCKS and JWSTORMY for some geocaching before the Canberra weather became nasty. TFTC

Another 3 in the series completed on a beautiful calm morning. TFTC JackaKid

Found 9:29 pm with LuckyL10n.. I went out for a caching run and LuckyL10n and I met up to do the small group of Jackakids caches in this area. This was the second to do and the find was pretty much again reminiscent of previous Jackakids caches. A quick find. The log was signed for both and now onto the next.
Thanks for the cache.

#3431 - 21:30; Out and about again tonight with MrDamage. Decided to clear a few new caches in the local area, so after MrD collected a couple nearby which I had previously found, we parked the geomobile and headed along the track for a few more in this series. Made the right choice about the track to take and after grabbing #47, we were soon at GZ for a quick find and sign at #48. TFTC JackaKid

quick find TFTC JaxkaKid

Today's yet another beautiful day, and continued therapy on my mending broken ankle is indicated. It's a little stiff after yesterday's kilometre, but I think it's OK for a further walk. I've loaded up the geocaching gear, and the GeoSchnauzers, and I've picked a spot with unfound caches on the northside.

Here's the second of a sting of new ones since I was last near here, and I know the walking looks easy enough, with a bit of uphill. We walked up to this one from no 49 (Currey VC) and found the cache. The inside baggie was a bit moth-eaten, so I replaced it. My ankle is liking the walk today, particularly the uphill bit.. TFTC.

It was clear where the cache is to be found.

2 of 7 found on a relaxing afternoon stroll with the geodaughter...TFTC!

I was surprised to find 3 more of your VC series. These were an easy walk on a cold, wet afternoon. Thanks JackaKid

found it bag needs replacing

Takibi and I were in the area today specifically to undertake a particular errand....but then we got distracted caching and the errand never happened....ooops. We had a fun day anyway despite the cold. Another find along the way with plenty of other dog-walking muggles out on the trail today as well.

Found in a beautiful morning TFTC

We parked nearby and took a walk to the three nearby caches. All easy finds. TFTC JackaKid.

A quick, easy find, as the sky darkened. TFTC JackaKid.

Found on a lovely afternoon around here. Parked over at Maccas and walked along the Centenary Trail to get these JackaKid caches. These were all really easy finds, as the sun went down and the temperature started to drop. TFTC JackaKid!

Quick find

Victorian Murray River region caching weekend 2015. On the way out of town I stopped at these three Jacka caches on the way up to where a fun old cache used to be.

Thanks.

Out on a suburban cache run with mr_roo. Picked up another easy find but the walk and views are lovely. Thanks again.

Used to travel all the time along this track good to be back. A quick find with kittykatch today TFTC

Easy find

After finishing a few others in the series, met up here with fitzy_1965 to knock off these couple as well. Didn't take long to walk the line and the 4 caches (at this stage?) were soon in hand and the log signed.

Thanks again JackaKid....

9699 + 1091 = 10790. Found another 4 in the VC series today after work with AwesomeL and Sol de Lune.

We completed another 4 VC caches today when meeting up with Sol de Lune. Parked in the convenient little car par and walked in. This was a quick find by AwesomeL. Signed, returned, then off to the next one.

Thanks JackaKid ! I'm enjoying this series ! Very interesting reading the stories behine the VCs.

TNLN - TFTC !!

Cheers....

4272. A nice wander in the very chilly wind with some light rain. Glad the containers showed up nice and quick.
TFTC.

Stopped nearby for a short walk along the highway to find more of this series. TFTC.

Came out to find these 4 caches that seem to be distant from the rest of the series, will get to 1-30 in the series tomorrow. All caches were easy to find, did the small trail in about 15 mins!

Thanks JackaKid for this new series in Gungahlin

Delightful trio Ta.

*FTF* with TE @934

Straight to the cache and easily found

Chooo ooo *FTF* with Mr SC. Surprised these 3 were still unfound after 2 hours! Not complaining though. Thanks JK.

Out and about this morning, and thought we'd check out this exciting new run of caches by JackaKid. At our first stop we ran into Stormcatchers (well, half of them), and Tankengine! I think it was Stormcatchers' last stop and Thomas was somewhere in the middle of his run.

We would have followed the trend, but after finding the three we could get from our first parking spot, we discovered only mint tins. I don't find those very exciting, so we came home to do some work around the house instead.

Out and about with Just a cacher this morning, and we decided to head over and grab a few of the new caches. At our first stop we ran into Stormcatchers and Tankengine just after their finds here today.

After a quick find here we headed off back to the work.

Thanks JakaKid.
