Out with Geowife and Geodogs exploring the area. All good here. Now onto the next one for the day .TNLN TFTC
Out caching around the rock today. The path was too rough for my car now so I parked and got the bike out. That is the means I used for the remainder of the caches in this series! A quick find here. Tftc!
Staying at Henty Showgrounds and came up here looking at doing the caches on Noskes/Braithwaites Lane, however we were stopped by a large fallen tree from the South and a couple of washouts from the North. Will need to revisit after it all dries out.
We looked around The Rock and managed to grab the Lab caches and a few trads. Will need to come back tomorrow to finish off the others along Bullenbong Road. A reasonably sucsessful day with only a couple of DNF's.

Total Cache Finds 12257,
A hot day on the trail and the shady trees were appreciated. This was a quick stop thanks to the helpful device. TFTC baby&Mrs gopher.
The orb spiders don’t worry us, if we can avoid breaking their magnificent webs we do. However a few days ago we came across a few very healthy Essendon spiders (black with a red stripe on their backs for the non Victorians). Now, they do worry us.
Straight forward find.
Today we moved from Wagga to The Rock. Not far, but to a great camp at the Rec Reserve and an area with quite a number of caches. We were here reasonably early do dropped off the van and began the day touring with geocaches as our guide. The 2 Adventure Labs in town were our starting point, one a reflective trip down the Main Street and the other a mixture of historical sites and places of interest.
Couldn’t resist a coffee and cake at the local cafe before heading out of town again. Good home-baked apple slice, and good coffee couple with a chat to a number of the locals.
We got to the town ‘drop-bear’ and there met baby&Mrs gopher a lovely couple of local cachers and had a chat. Baby’s advice was well received so we headed out on the bMg trail after going to The Rock reserve. We completed all the trail with only one DNF. Some great containers and a variety of hides and varying difficulty. Not just your regular power trail.
Throughout the day we collected traditional, multis, a letterbox and an Earthcache.
Thank you so much to the local cachers for your efforts, it is much appreciated.

Headed to Wagga for the weekend with PelDroedGwin.
The stock route was a must as it’s so different from the urban caching I’m used to in Sydney
Another fun cache after our break for lunch

Albida for the win!
A plan was hatched with fitzy_1965, Albida33, Minniek, GLISS! and cosmonaut97 to head down south and tackle The Rock. We have had our eye on a Jasmer down this way for awhile and with the new AL’s and some other great series in the area it was time for a visit!!
It was an absolutely fantastic weekend with some great caching (and some epic adventure) and we were so spoilt by the local hospitality from Baby&MrsGopher.

I joined a weekend away to 'The Rock' with Fitzy_1965, MinnieK, Nibletricecakes, Gliss! & Cosmonaut97. The main aim was a climb up the Lion of Kengal and the caches in the Olympic Highway Stock Reserve. We achieved everything on the agenda, even though some of took longer than expected. We had a great weekend staying at Baby&MrsGopher's place where the hospitality was fantastic. On Sunday afternoon I headed out by myself to Henty and Wagga Wagga. On Monday I spent the morning in North Wagga and on the Coolamon Highway.
A new day dawned and with five people looking to finish the Stock Reserve caches we all squeezed into my car and headed off. The caches were all of quality expected by Baby&Mrs Gopher and we had a great morning in the bush.
Thanks for the cache baby&Mrs gopher

Weekend away with fitzy_1965, Albida33, nibletricecakes, GLISS! and cosmonaut97.
Sunday saw us all up early to finish off most of the bMg trail before heading East for a bit more 4wding to some older caches and then on our separate ways. fitzy_1965 had done the bMg so he went West while the rest of us finished this trail.
All caches were found quickly and in good condition.

Found with albida33, minniek, Gliss! and nibbletricecakes during a mad dash to get this trail finished. Good driving skills albida33 TFTC.
Thanks heaps for the caches along this mini series in the bushlands of The Rock. Was an awesome bike ride through the area, All caches were in good working order unless otherwise stated. Thanks heaps for the finds!
With the international geocaching day souvenir available and all the nearest caches inaccessible across the border in Victoria I decided to head north to The Rock and Uranquinty for a few hours caching. The weather was cloudy but no rain - the geohound and I enjoyed some time wandering around and found some good caches.
The first targeted was the northern half of the bMg series along the TSR south of The Rock. I had the top two but don't have a 4WD so there was a bit of a walk today (was very wet) but spring is just around the corner (few things flowering other than wattles but lots of forbs popping up and the birds were all happy).
This was a quick find - though like a few in this series I had to circle a little to find the hide. The extraction tool was not required here though.

I didn't quite finish yesterday and really disappointed not to make it today either. Two left for next visit.
All logs were either signed, stamped or have SG. Thanks for your awesome work baby&MrsGopher.

Below is a blurb about us
We are trying to get a badge ,the author ,from project GC for writing found log files of 100 words or more. Once we get this badge we will stop writing this. We are also trying to get badges for adding photos to our found logs .
We started caching in December 2019 and by January 2020 we were hooked. As we are on the road full-time, living in a caravan, caching fits in well with this lifestyle. It is taking us to places that we would normally not have gone. When we move to a new place we also look at what caches are in the area and how many days we will need to be there in order to get the caches we want.
Trackables that we have had for a while will be moved on.
We are in Wagga for a few days and will try to increase our find numbers. Thanks to all CO for placement and maintenance of caches.

TFTC,
Back in Sydney and using my time to log caches we completed on our forced return to home base.
We had lunch at the Drovers Virtual GC88YXF and came to this fantastic power trail. The CO had advised us to drop the van at the start but I believed I new better and went in about 12 caches before Nana told me that we had gone far enough. Left the van and continued, end of paste.
Locals around to check us out.

After arriving from The Murray River playing golf, decided to do some of this series, started with caravan on, then the road got a bit hairy. Found good hide. Stamped log and replaced. Thanks to baby&Mrs gopher for this great series.
In town for an event today and was travelling the country side with Happy Feet giving her her recently purchased 4x4 Suzuki a run on a few rough dirt roads. Even though she had done these hides a while ago she suggested we give it a go as my old hilux is not as high as the name suggests and also too long to get past the creek crossings, l was happy to be a passenger and let her work her way along the trail. This one was a quick find after a short stroll from the car. Thanks again baby&Mrs gopher for the hide.
For those Cache Owners unaware, Catnap777 & OZREG have formed a team under Geocache Guideline:
1.17. Merge accounts.
This allows logging of old finds under the new account with Username of TeamOZCAT.
Please contact if you have any queries.
"The truth is out there, and so are many more caches"
Cheers from Karen and Reg.

A quick find, another great cache by bMg,4 wheel drive certainly helps on this track.TFTC
Well I sent Geo son Out with two grown up Chauffers (@LilDonnasAdventure ) today to grab some caches we needed. They took it off road down the bMg trail to collect what we had not already collected. They even went 4 wheel driving, train spotting and called in to check in on the CO’s as well. =)
Thanks bMg for placing this cache for us and others to find. =)

Out and about for a drive today with [@AngusnmumyAdventures](http://coord.info/PRRD6GG) , Geo three was with us from this crew helping find them. Took it off road down the bMg trail to collect what we had not already collected. We also went 4 wheel driving, train spotting and called in to check in on the CO’s as well.
Where is that road, the map said it is here somewhere, oh well that that one. Uh no road just a bit of a track, get out and do some walking to this one. I sure did get my exercise today with all these cache, I guess it is good for me. All good with this one and an easy find.
Found it, signed it, reinstated it, then on our way, now have logged it.
Another great journey down the bMg trail, thanks guys, Lil Donna

Given the recent rain and the state of the track, we decided to spend a couple of hours walking instead of attempting to drive our low clearance sedan. At times we had to pick our way around very large puddles and through some very wet areas. However it was a glorious day and a very pleasant walk.
Some unknown reasons, our GPS units were quite erratic at this location and they took a little while to settle. Once they started to behave, accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks baby&Mrs gopher for the cache and the series.
We ran out of time to look for all the caches in the series and we hope to return at some time to complete some unfinished business.

Found a hook hanging in the tree before the cache and then we realised what it's purpose was for - however we found that there was no need for it for us [^]

Today’s plan had an UPSIDE- I ditched the bike, it’s inbetween rain bands, and to collect the series was a success - all were placed in great spots and in good nik- that is UNTIL it got dark and fallen trees and no track to speak of had me turn around. Turned this arvo episode of caching into a memorable EPIC for this little Xtrail (sorry geomobile- I’ll sort the undercarriage tomorrow ) As daughter says ‘boredom’s’ not in my vocabulary. ! Back on the bitumen, found a coffee at Henty and can say TFTC and the fun!
The local CO's kindly offered to show us their 4WD skills which are very good. I am not sure if I would have been as calm if hubby was driving. Now I am not saying that hubby is not a good driver but local knowledge of the tracks I feel helped a heap.
The caches that we found were all varied, the hides, containers and terrain were different and all cache containers contained swag which we added to in some of them.
We apologise for the generic logs, for us writing a generic log does not mean that any of the caches have less meaning for us and does not take away our appreciation of the effort that CO's go to to place caches for our enjoyment. SL TFTC

Quick grab on our souvenir adventure - chasing great caches with lots of favourite points today. Found by Cristabel. Left car here as tree down & couldn't go any further. Tftc
A perfect morning to complete this series - overcast, with a little rain to keep us cool, the birds were happy to serenade us as we searched, the Track was dry, although badly rutted in places and we managed to find every one! All caches were in good condition and plenty of room left on log sheets. Any extra comments will be added at the end of each entry. TFTC and the series baby&Mrs gopher. We found 16 caches over 2 hours and it then took us 20 minutes to retrace the track back to the Rock for morning tea and our first coffee for the day. SL at 8.54am #5771
Day 2 of our wagga escapades .Heading South for the Victorian Mega and collecting a few caches along the way. . 3584 so far for us. Thanks for placing this cache baby&Mrs gopher, without cachers like you we wouldn't have a hobby. Signed log. took nothing, left nothing.
Still on our way back from the Muster in Barcaldine and decided to make a detour or seven. This series has been on our to do list for some time and we thought that as it was only a couple of hundred km's out of the way, why not. Lots to do on the way and last time we were here, it was so wet, we couldn't finish so here we are.
After leaving the drought in Queensland, we were surprised at how much rain we have encountered down here and as the sky is darkening, not sure if we will get it all done again.
Sorry for the generic logs but we have written hundreds of them in the last week and are running out of words.
Nice quick find.

Reperio at 1625.
With staying in Wagga Wagga for a couple of days en route from Tasmania to Newcastle, I dropped the family off at our accommodation for some R & R and headed out to find a few select caches.
I have been eyeing off this series for a while now, but everytime I'm in the area, I either didn't have enough time, or the track was boggy. So this afternoon, I made the most of my opportunity.
The final cache in this beaut little series, and once the cache was found, I high tailed it back to Gap Road where I had parked. A great trail to walk/run along.
Gratias baby&Mrs gopher.

With the day off work, I decided on making way out to ‘The Rock’ again to attempt the BMG trail plus a few lone caches along the way. It took three hours to complete the trail due to the amount of tree branches, detours and soil erosion on the track. This caused me to drive at a snail pace making sure that nothing happened to me or my car. Out of the 31 caches I attempted, I made 31 finds today and I also revisited another cache along the way. Today was full of different hides, challenges and fun. It also added to my Fizzy Grid (D/T), Jasmer Grid (Hidden Month) and Hidden Day Grid on ‘Project GC’ meaning I am closer to finishing them. TB visit on all caches and on some of the smaller logbook/sheets I signed as 1/10/18 JM. I would like to thank ‘baby&Mrs gopher’ for all the caches I found today and for the fun and challenges that came along with them. TFTC’s!
Super excited on our first day on the road as we head to the Queensland Muster in Barcaldine. With plans to cache all the way as we catch up with family and fellow cachers , exploring new territory as we go.
This series caught our eye on our last visit to the area so it was put on the “must do list” to hit as our first NSW caches on approach to Wagga.
Starting at “Perhaps Not the Olympic Way” which of coarse it wasn’t “quite” as smooth we worked our way down to the end without incident . The mini lakes were avoided with chicken tracks when possible otherwise the stench of stagnant water filled the car as we drove through the others. Gullies, ruts and potholes were negotiated with care as a fun time was had on this great adventure seeking out treasure in the bush.
The extraction aid came in handy.

This cache was part of our Baby&Mrs gopher selection of caches for the day. Each located cache had our name written on the log and was put back as it had been found before we moved on. Thanks go to baby&Mrs gopher for each of the caches found and the fun we had today.

These trails were heaps of fun with some unexpected hurdles and challenges that we didn’t come prepared for
All in all, another fun day with Indianagleeson red leader and fox 2 out exploring this great area!

This Log is repetitive for all the baby & Mrs Gopher Caches I found this day, apart from the "Baby's Revenge" DNF.
left Wodonga around Middday Sat 14th July. Turned into a beautiful sunny winters day after the morning chill.
Most importantly ...THANKS Mrs Gopher for all the placed and maintained Caches. I had a ball along the old Stock Route. Didn't dare go any further south of final cache (Lockhart Road) Too washed out for my 4wd, bottomed out in one area. Besides, unsure of conditions and where next main road access was.
Thought i got all your caches in series, but realised when got home I somehow missed Norman and Emily St's. Possibly had map zoomed in and went to next direct. Alas, had fun as I mentioned, and again Thanks and well done.
Cheers from Reg.

No orb spiders for us here today. Loved the extra tool provided for cache extraction. Lots of thought put into these caches. Thanks
No spider issues for me I stood back and watched.
Found with Kittykatch, AngelG27 and Darksidedan on a caching weekend to Wagga. Been a great day and loved seeing a different part of the country. Thanks for bringing us here

Back in Wagga for another weekend of caching - this time with Kittykatch, Joolay and DarkSideDan. A couple of the power trails in our sights, but a few others besides!
Unless otherwise indicated, caches found and in good order. Teamed up with Baby&Mrs Gopher for a maintenance run on the bMg trail - super lovely thanks! We did the finding though! Tool replaced to correct position.

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.
I love to take my little Xtrail off road. I was just lucky today that the area was so dry!
In the end I totalled 81 finds for the day, and got back home just after dark.
Thanks for the caches.

Hi there baby&Mrs gopher.
We found your cache **"bMg - Braithwaites Lane"** today. (This makes our find count 18019).
Today we headed down from Wagga to The Rock so we could attempt the "bMG"series while our caravan was in for some fridge repairs. We also logged some other non-series caches we came across on our travels. We started at "Perhaps Not The Olympic Way & from there we proceeded to log nine caches before we got the phone call that the fridge was fixed. We'll get to the rest of the caches along here another day.
We thoroughly enjoyed today's cache finds, but please excuse our boilerplate logs - we know it's not really a good excuse but we find it difficult to craft individual logs when we attempt so many similar caches in a day. [:(!]
We found 9 caches today & DNF'd 0. Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found most caches within a few metres of where our GPS said we should be looking. [:(!] (We did have to look a little further afield for some though). [:(!]
**Cache Condition:** The containers and log books were all in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards

Today we headed down from Wagga to The Rock so we could attempt the "bMG"series while our caravan was in for some fridge repairs. We also logged some other non-series caches we came across on our travels. We started at "Perhaps Not The Olympic Way & from there we proceeded to log nine caches before we got the phone call that the fridge was fixed. We'll get to the rest of the caches along here another day.
We thoroughly enjoyed today's cache finds, but please excuse our boilerplate logs - we know it's not really a good excuse but we find it difficult to craft individual logs when we attempt so many similar caches in a day. [:(!]
We found 9 caches today & DNF'd 0. Thanks for placing the cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found most caches within a few metres of where our GPS said we should be looking. [:(!] (We did have to look a little further afield for some though). [:(!]
**Cache Condition:** The containers and log books were all in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards

Suscoe was out and about today in the company of Phetlern.
A cold start, a sunny day, good fun caching and a great day out.
We enjoyed many pleasant locations and good hide.
This is a beaut part of the world.
A generally generic log today.
Thanks to baby&Mrs. gopher for this hide.

Based in Wagga, for a few days, in the grand company of fellow Victorians Suscoe, we headed to the south of town then to the west in search of some Riverina treasure.
The bMg take on the streets and lanes of The Rock, was a really fruitful adventure. We loved the idea of walking in the bush to reach a variety of hides and completed the series with a perfect score.
Thanks baby&Mrs gopher for placing such a peachy series.

5384. A long day out with Rapidlywild, FurfacesLL and Loci612.
I believe my colleagues have covered our adventure to a T.
So a big thank you to them and especially to the CO for their efforts and providing us with lots of entertainment.

A trip was planned for last weekend but the weather spoiled those plans, re-scheduled for today and what a lovely day it turned out to be. Not too hot, not too cold, just right for some monkeying around. Headed out just after 6.30am and returned around 12.30am collecting just over 60 caches on the trip more than originally planned. The touring party consisted of Boot65, Loci612, Rapidlywild and myself with all logs through the day being signed as B.F.L.R.
Time to slowly make our way back to Canberra and decided to go home via The Rock. We all decided we would try this trail but it would depend on the quality of the road as we went along. It was a little hair raising in parts, loci who had never been 4WD'ing before was keen to turn back at certain sections but instead we continued along the way. Passed a few others on the road which made him a little more confident. All caches along this trail were found quickly, hardest part was dodging the orb spider webs. Sorry for the generic log, but thanks for a entertaining trail after dark.

The main goal of today was a day trip down to Walla Walla to complete the tree hide series. On the way back though we spotted this trail and one thing led to another and we were on the trail and couldn't stop ourselves from going the whole way, into the night! It was way to much fun!
We had Boot65's flashy Toyota Hilux 4WD with us, with the ladder still attached to the roof. We weren't expecting to come down a 4WD track but everyone seemed keen and we all had a bit of fun with it! There were some sections where I held my breath because I haven't gone 4WD'ing before and am used to basic small 2WD cars so I was unaware of the power a car like this had! It was extremely fun however and I was glad we didn't get into any bad situations!
We navigated through a few deep puddles, bumps, and even a creek crossing which luckily didn't have any water so it was just a bit bumpy along the rocks! I am very confused how majority of the caches are T2 and there are even quite a few T1.5's!? Right at the end of the track, OVER the river and the caches become T1.5? That didn't make much sense to me as the way we came was 4WD only and if you were walking it would be a bit of a trek along varying terrain and bush! The ones at the end of the track should surely increase in terrain not decrease!
All caches were found easily, and we even passed a couple cars while out here. One was full of teenagers who had gone right down the track and collected a ute full of firewood! That gave us confidence as we knew that car had done the track, then surely ours could too!
Thanks for placing this series in such an awesome location where lots of fun was had, sorry for the generic logs but all caches were found quickly and have blurred together into one great experience!

A group of us in the ACT had been planning a Walla Walla trip to tackle the 4.5T series of caches for a little while now, we locked in last Saturday however weather and news was reporting "significant" rains so we postponed to this Saturday. After heading off nice and early, the four of us (Boot65, FurfacesLL #1, Loci612 and myself) set off for our long day of adventures. We had 9 caches in our initial target, came home with just over 60 finds after 17+ hours out and about. It was an amazing day challenging ourselves in many ways and hitting some awesome fun 4wd tracks under moonlight We signed all caches today as B.F.L.R. to save room in the logs. Picked up 3 D/T's for me and FurfacesLL claimed their 25,000th find Congrats ladies.

**This Cache:** Apologies for the generic logs along this series, cant really remember each on individually as it was a very long day lol. So we decided to head in and do the trail along here being we were with Boot65 and his awesome 4WD. We had an amazing trip along this 4WD track, lots of bumps, slides, mud, climbs and walks out to the caches. The weather was really nice and there was heaps of giggling and chatter. No issues locating this one, signed and replaced.
Thanks to Boot65 for being our chauffeur today in the new 4wd beast, was super fun thanks also Loci and FFLL for the great day out and thanks for the cache of course baby&Mrs gopher [^]

Took the bikes out for a ride to pick up some of the caches along this track. An enjoyable ride and good variety of hides.
Thanks baby&Mrs gopher for placing the cache for us to find.

TFTC. I had made a start on this series yesterday. This morning with some time to kill we went further down the TSR for a couple of caches. We went as far as Linda would let me before there was a lot of water on the track. Never mind, we can come back again another day. Each of the three we did this morning were in good order.
A sojourn both peaceful and interesting in the variety of caches and terrain to be found. We thoroughly enjoyed being at The Rock and our thanks to baby&Mrs gopher for placement of this cache and adding to our enjoyment of the area.
Wagga day 3, Wilks Park
We had a great morning out caching in the bMg area. We have recently purchased a Pajero Sport so this was the first time it had done any road work like this. Very happy with it performance.
Enjoyed our drive, not to hot to walk to the caches.
A good variety of caches & DT locations visited.

Returning home from Albury we decided to tackle this series from the Southern end. Getting to the first cache was quite an adventure as there were numerous deep ruts and fallen trees to avoid. The rest of the track was quite tame in comparison.
A good variety of hides and some nice walks made this a very enjoyable series.
Thanks baby&Mrs gopher for placing this series.

Out and about to grab the bMg series today accompanied by The Drovers who had already done the series. We also managed to pick up a few other caches in the area to round the day off.
After parking nearby the cache was easily found and once the log was signed all was returned as found.

We took on this trail after doing the rock, we drove half of the tail and walked the rest, these is so much water over the roads and huge amount of erosion, we weren't too thrilled about getting stuck. At least we had company of the swarm on mosquitoes around.We found all caches, some a little more challenging than others. We're glad to have collected all the smileys. Thanks for showing us a different type of adventuress caching.
Things were still going well although the track was getting increasingly wet, taking some effort to negotiate and before long we decided to walk remaining caches. This was a nifty little hide and a quick find. Lovely purple lilies in profusion in many places along the reserve! Thanks baby&Mrs gopher.
10553. Found during a caching run down to the Wagga region this ANZAC Day long weekend.
Up early and hit the road while it was still dark - I had a lot of caches planned for this weekend ! When I was doing the planning, I looked at the caches along here and was resigned to not being able to do them in my 2WD. By chance though I met the COs at an event in Canberra last weekend, and after a quick chat a plan was hatched to head out in their 4WD for a maintenance run and for many bonus cache finds for me ! This was the next stop along the way - and after a quick search the cache was in hand. Log signed, cache returned and we were on our way to the next one.
Thanks again baby&Mrs gopher ! This was the highlight of the weekend for me !
TNLN - TFTC !!

A lovely day to take a country drive, so we ventured out to The Rock to pick up a few caches.
Tracks were dry and in good condition, which made it an easy run for the geo-cruiser.
Geo-wife did the longer walks, as geo-hubby's knee was not up to it.
We found a good variety of hides, which kept us busy for a couple of hours.
Many thanks for placing this series of caches, baby&Mrs gopher, for us and others to find.

# 10517. A beautiful, but very smoky Autumn day was forecast so we decided to load up the bikes and head to The Rock for a ride. The intention was a nice easy ride by the highway - I think I need to sack my cache programming mate and do my own research as to riding conditions. The sand and bulldust and rocks and potholes and deep ruts did not make for easy riding in many places and then to top it off Rob got a flat tyre almost at the furthest point.
What with the scrambling and bush-bashing I wouldn't call this an easy series to do. We did manage to find all the bMg caches however and a few more along the way.
Thanks baby&Mrs gopher

Loaded the deadly treadlies up and joined BettyBoo3747 for a trip up to The Rock.
Rode the bMg trail, and few other caches in town.
The trail took us longer than we thought it would, interesting riding (and a flat!), and a lot of hides off trail. (Of course that had nothing to do with my flat tyre - road? what road?)
Good to see you are being healthy and eating a lot of fruit, and not mints (makes for easier finds and larger logbooks!)
We particularly enjoyed the minimalist approach to camo!
Someone has been very busy constructing extraction tools - very helpful!
We did say hello to a few orb spiders today, but not as many as we could have.
Thanks, Robmc.

Headed back early today to beat the heat and enjoy the rest of the series ,with The Rock hill as a backdrop.
What we liked about all these is that all the hides are varying styles plus you have to get out of the car and go for a walk which i am sure was the intended purpose, unlike many series where the cache is 3m from the car stop spot.
Plenty of medium sized containers well hidden with a good size log book in all as well plus pens and swaps.
Even the puddles from a few weeks back had vanished now.
Many thanks to baby and Mrs gopher for the well placed series.

A perfect day for a 4wd cache hunt and not many muggles around today.
All co-ords were spot on which made for good quick finds.
Another joint *FTF* here and then onto the next one.
