It's the time for Mr Hunters' to take his big annual leave chunk for the year, 1.5 years into his first full time social work role in his home city of Canberra. This year, I decided to jump on my parents' holiday to Perth (next week) but beforehand, I wanted a solo geocaching splurge. I spotted the LGA series not too far from Perth, so I soon booked accommodation for 5 nights in Boddington with the intention to finish the entire series within that time. I was really looking forward to some quiet time for solo geocaching and to have simple pub meals in a quiet country town, I've been extremely busy over the past few months and given my job involves a lot of emotional energy, I wanted to visit a secluded location as far away from home as you can get, absolutely brilliant. I've hired a Toyota Landcruiser at a bargain price and put together a list of albums to listen to whilst on the drive (for each day's log, I'll list the albums that I listened to that day).Sat 16 Nov: The LGA series is now finished, after 3.5 days worth of caching! Yes, I have had a few DNFs, but I've attempted each and every cache on the trail. All up, 520 finds, today I found 139. Now that it's all done, a sincere thank you to the CO(s) for the enormous amount of effort that's gone into this series. Even though the containers were the same, there was a heap of variety in the style of hides and there was a huge diversity in the landscapes and vegetation on display, making for a dynamic experience. Yet, there was consistency in how the caches were hidden, which made for quick and easy finds. Coordinates were accurate and very useful. Recent efforts to maintain the series have not gone unnoticed, the new containers were the most satisfying of the bunch to find and sign, with fresh logbooks. Boddington has also been a lovely place to stay, a quiet town with lots of history and beauty. I will award 52 favourite points across the 520 caches that I found, I will award them to caches for LGAs that I have visited (there's no Canberra LGA in the series and I DNF'd the Queanbeyan cache which would've been good considering Queanbeyan is next door, but not a worry). Huge thanks again for an awesome series and effort! Today's albums: Greatest Hits (Guns N'Roses), The Very Best (The Eagles), Greatest Hits (Bon Jovi), AFL Club Songs (to celebrate the release of the new fixture), The Stranger (Billy Joel), Six: The Musical (Six, listened to it again, you can tell I'm obsessed at the moment), Rickie Lee Jones (Rickie Lee Jones, thanks Scaphoid for the recommendation) and We Are the Champions (Queen, when I finished the last cache)!
WA Big Trip Winter 2024. Day 44 - Wandering to Collie via Boddington. On a very overcast day, with a bit of a mist about in the morning I headed off from Wandering. The cluster of caches at Crossman was first, then a difficult but interesting look around Boddington. Plenty of interesting artwork to see and after three shops, I found a morning snack. I visited a few cemetery caches and the did some more LGA caches to flesh out the days caching. The last cache was a tribute to mining and done just before arriving in Collie to get set up and go and have a look around town. I was happy to be near these LGA caches again, so I did some near the highway, and a section. Today most of them had not been found since July last year, so they were very well weathered in and spotting the right object to look under was very important.Thanks for the cache FellowshipOfTheTrail47604.37 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & Geocaching NSW 2022 A#531**Albida**

Day 2 (for us) On The.... *LGA!*
Another very nice find on a geocaching adventure with woolwood9.
We enjoyed the drive / walk around the area.
On the trail by 6-30am stopped for the night after 8-30pm - 2x 15 minute stops otherwise non-stop caching the area!
Tons of dust, 35 degrees - energy draining heat, seeds in socks, flies and spiders.
OVERALL: great fun and fantastic numbers of finds!

The hunt continues after a leisurely hour and a half stop for lunch Phewf, definitely harder on a full tummy!
Cache found no probs.
Headed out to knock off some more of this mammoth and awesome powertrail with another 200 ticked off today over a 10 hour period which of course included a stop at the Quinny for a Parmy lunch in the sun.
Thanks to FellowshipOfTheTrail for placing such an amazing powertrail with good hints and nice easy finds The sun was shining, the birds were singing! Happy caching days!

Find 29 of 138 with 1 DNF on day two of our Boddington Bonanza.
We started apprehensively under dark skies, just minutes after heavy rain and with huge puddles on the Quindanning bridge. Amazingly we only got one squally shower over the next three hours of caching.
Thanks to everyone involved in the organisation, placement and maintenance of these caches. It's almost a shame to have (nearly - we have 8 left) completed the series but the smileys will hopefully stay on the map for years to come.

Today the geocaching mission for TaurusSix and myself is to revisit the LGA series from the Quindanning end. This is our third trip to the area having achieved our best ever single day caching a few months ago. We are really enjoying this series. We have decided to tackle a string at a time going forward so this is just one more of many future visits out this way. Really it is a perfect way to spend a Sunday morning, having a nice drive out to the country and lots of exercise in and out of the car collecting caches. We did not set off as early as we would have liked this morning, the sun was already up. However that made the drive more spectacular than ever as the frost was melting and all the steam was rising from the ground and the sun beams breaking through. Ideal day for geocaching really.
This is our thirty first cache find of the day . Cache quickly located logged and replaced.
Appreciation and gratitude to The Fellowship of the Trail for placing and maintaining this wonderful geocaching series.

Out on a caching weekend with Team BODS11 the main aim is to locate and log all the LGA Series caches. Glad to say that mission completed. Thanks FOTT for this series.
Started our 2nd tour of WA now touring around the south and doing the LGA series. Thank you for a great series. 13 January 2022 12:18 pm Tyfc FellowshipOfTheTrail total caches now 3722
A great meet up with PollyMichele to knock a few caches while we can. Thanks for the caches.
One of our targets for our current visit to Western Australia is the Local Government Area series near Boddington. We made a start about a week ago and then went to Bunbury and Busselton for a few days. Today we returned to Boddington to continue the LGA series.
Today we looked for 82 of the LGA caches, finding all but two of them. Unless stated otherwise, accurate coordinates and the hints led to quick finds. The cache containers were in good condition but, as should be expected, many of the log books are showing signs of being used by many cachers, some being badly torn.
We really enjoy the concept of the LGA trail. Congratulations to the members of the FellowshipOfTheTrail on an excellent series which must have taken extensive planning and a large amount of time to prepare and place each of the caches.

I used to live in Melville. It was an okay place back then, it’s better now though. Cheers
Big day of caching/cycling the LGA series on Zilko Road with Morgo the geo. Thanks for the series, an awesome day. nice quick finds
The LGA series has been on the list for a long time. Probsty and I stitched up a plan of heading off early, riding the MTB’s along Zilko Rd from Quindanning to Williams and crack the ton. We did with 130 finds, both our biggest day of caching. We stayed at the Ye Olde English Inne, an iconic pub of Quindanning and the start of the Captain Fawcett Track.
Favourite point added. I spent a lot of time in this LGA, so does duck43!
Thanks to the Fellowship of the Trail for such an epic series. So much fun and so many more still to find.

Day 3 of the Boddington marathon! I'm hoping to clear them up today. Thanks to the cache owners for the fun. Apologies for the generic logs. TFTC
On a maintenance run to the LGA series checking on a few hides. This container was actually there although the hint was a little misleading, now fixed.
A maintenance run is planned for early in the new year, apologies for the delay.
Hi there FellowshipOfTheTrail.
We found your cache **"LGA Melville WA"** today. (This makes our find count 22987).
Today we headed out from Williams and attempted our first loop of the LGA group of caches as well as some others we happened to pass by. 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 90 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. Our log or stamp is not necessarily placed in the last spot in the book or sheet. If we find a blank spot when we open the log - that is where it goes.
**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 mostly in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny

I have enjoyed it, however the pure satisfaction of seeing ALL YELLOW on my map has made all those kms (approx 3000 of them!) driving to, from and between those awful preform tubes worthwhile. Thanks to the FOTT lads for allowing me to replace 2 missing caches today so I could complete the series, and never have to return here again. Though one or two of the FOTT might just be evil enough to go and place a bonus cache or two in the midst of my perfect map, just to see me go ballistic! TFTC
After getting up nice and early (4:00) i made the journey from Albany to start The Fellowship of the Trails LGA series. It did not disappoint, starting at Carne rd and wandering through the the back roads till light became dark and i became thirsty! So i settled into the Quindanning inne for a couple of brews and a beautiful meal (thanks ladies) All up a huge day of hunting. Thanks for putting out this series, it must have taken all involved a huge effort which i'm sure all geocachers are very happy with. TFTC
Out of bed early, well 0730 on a day off is early, to make my way up to Williams. Quick stop in Barker at the bakery for brekky then back on the road. Got caught up in the roadworks close to Koji and one had those blimmin traffic lights so after what must have been a 15 minute stop there I was finally on my way again. Glad I don’t live in a place which has traffic lights.
Was about 1100 by the time I got to the first cache and was about 2/3 the way through the first section for the day when I saw some road plant machinery working the road. Timing was on my side as was the gap in the caches as that is where they stopped for a break in a driveway. Got by them and into the next cache.
Saw plenty of healthy looking sheep and cows in the paddocks which looked to have fared well over winter, rosellas, 28’s and even a red breasted robin. Awesome.
Only had one DNF out of about 90 for the day (a new PB for me the previous being 45 in a day) but have no idea which cache it was as one cache blended in to the next as I was on the go from first cache to last. Finally got home at 1730.
Thanks to those who have placed and maintained the caches along the way.

Tagged along with Gma Allinaday to find the FellowshipOfTheTrail series. We had a fun few days looking for all caches. I loved all the lambs in the fields but the red back spiders that were on a few of the caches not so much. Thank you for putting all the caches out there for us to find.
Finally had a spare few days to go and tackle the FellowshipOffTheTrail series with my two granddaughters. Accommodation booked in Boddington a few months earlier, which we used as our base, we set off in high spirits to find all those caches. We had some big days, and also a few shorter ones. Given that it was the middle of winter, we had near perfect caching weather. Not a drop of rain, the roads were nice and smooth with little dust. The fields were lush and green with an abundance of newly born lambs, which were a never ending source of amusement for the girls. We found most of the caches where they were meant to be. Some had been strewn a number of metres away by animals. Some fences have been realigned....one cache location was some 10metres inside a new fence. Some caches have been wiped out by the grader widening the road and pushing all the dirt up. Some trees have also succumbed to new fences. Wherever possible, we have replaced caches.....approx. 26 or so, which will keep the trail alive. Many thanks to those responsible for placing all these caches. I can only imagine how much time has gone into that.
Apologies for the generic logs and thanks for the series. We do not apologise for the generic logs. Thanks to Fellowship of the Trail for placing these here for our enjoyment.

Decided went to LGA series for weekend...
Found all caches BUT expect two caches called LGA Wiluna WA and LGA Gloucester NSW - the tree is gone and another landscape - assume for new fence...
Saw a pair of tawny frogmouth owl, Snake, a kangaroo, blue-tongued, plenty farm animals...
Thanks for FellowshipOfTheTrail for the hide the cache and hunt.

Well we had plans to be in Albany this week, but plans changed so we were heading towards Dunsborough when plans changed again! Needed somewhere to stop for 1 week and the LGA series popped up on our radar!
So day 2 today and a leisurely start at 10.00 and back at the caravan by 4.30pm with 181smilies today.
We did have some trouble today with new fences having been installed, so a fair bit of searching further afield in the hope of finding displaced containers. still a good days hunt.
This cache is one that we had to replace as the area has a new fence and we were unable to locate the existing cache.. Now located under rocks.
TFTC Guys.

FellowshipOfTheTrail this is my 152nd cache of 213 finds of the day and brings my total find count to 608. The container is in good condition. SLTFTC.
With over 500 caches in this series we figured it will take us quite a while to do, so today it was time to get started. One of our personal mini goals within the caching game is to cache in every LGA in Australia. Currently we have located caches in 441 of the LGAs in Australia in less that 5 years since we joined.
We have found caches in all mainlamd LGAs in Queensland, NSW, ACT, Victoria and Tasmania. We still have some to do in NT and SA. Now that we are touring here in Western Australia, we are working on picking up caches in most of the LGAs in this state.
This is certainly a challenge, as many of the LGAs in the south of the state are quite small.
This series of caches mostly gave easy finds, but there were some we had to DNF.
As it was a hot day, we were glad for those which gave us shade to stand in while doing the signing duties.
Thanks go to FellowshipOfTheTrail for placing such an extensive series of caches.

This was such a hot day, but caching still happened along with goingplaces2 on this massive trail. Most were found easily but we missed some for different reasons. Logs were signed with both names. Thanks for this serious run of caches.
After flying 'over West', caching in Perth for a day and a bit and then hitting the LGA trail yesterday it was time to see whether I could achieve another 'tonne' on the LGA power trail today. Despite starting a little later than yesterday I seemed to be a little more trail 'fit' and only DNF'd a couple whilst finding 105 including a regular sized ammo can! I think that deserves the FP that I generally award a power trail.
Thanks to all those involved for putting the caches out and no doubt attending to regular maintenance issues. The roads used for the trail are decently remote and no doubt a maintenance run would take a fair chunk of a day to complete even for those living reasonably close. Any other contributors would probably have to contribute a full day what with the travel to and from home. This interstate cacher appreciates the effort taken.

Mr Wileyclan and I planned to attack a section of this lengthy series. An early start and a drive to the south most section.
A long day, and success in that we broke a few PBs. for me it was the most in a Day, the most in a Weekend, and the most in a month. Most of the caches were easy finds, some took a little longer to search for, but at least we kept the DNF tally to a low acceptable level.
We had a fun day, we did beleive that the Fellowship missed the opportunity to achieve some silly puns with some of the LGA names.
Fantastic power series.
___________________________________________________________________
Thanks FellowshipOfTheTrail for bringing me to this location. I found the cache at 10:06:00. This was my Find 65 for today out of a Total number of 217 Finds and 9 DNF for for this Caching Outing. The cache was found in Good Condition and I returned the cache as I found it.
This find brings my total number of Finds to 4208.

rudi63 and I headed out to have a go at part of the LGA series today. We made the choice to start with the southern section of the series and see how we went. We made pretty good time overall, finding a bit over 200 of them in about 7 hours or so, which included a bit of back tracking over completed areas and also stopping for lunch.
Most of the finds were made rather easily. A few were found out in the open and then replaced where the hint said the cache should be and a few are the dreaded now. Overall a fun, but tiring, day and a big thank you to all that are a part of FellowshipOfTheTrail.
Thanks for the cache FellowshipOfTheTrail, it was cache number 2709 for me and was number 65 in my run of 217 finds and 9 DNFs for today's geocaching effort.

Apologies for the duplicate log... Thanks for the fellowship of the cache team for setting up this series for us. After a little bit of a late start driving up from Busselton we were able to complete 40 then off to the Quinny pub for lunch. Definitely recommend the pub delicious food and quick friendly service. Another 70 after lunch we found 100% of the caches we searched for. All caches in good condition with dry logs. Very helpful hints on the 3 we need a hint on. All in all a very good day for us, 115 caches found stopping at 5.15pm due to rain.
We great day with team Pollythecollie finding 107 caches - a personal record for us and amazingly no DNF’s. Most caches found easily, only needing to check the hint on 3 caches. Thanks Fellowship of the Trail for all your work in setting up this series.
Hi there FellowshipOfTheTrail - the current challenge fron GC was a good reason for me to head down and look for some of the LGA series of caches. I headed towards the southermost section and began. In all 222 finds with 3 DNF's (maybe I didn't look hard enough). SL. The container and log are in good contidion for all caches found. Thanks to FellowshipOfTheTrail for this cache - our find #5658.
Headed out over the long weekend with Granett and Kyzabra for a bit of camping and a lot of caching.
Trying to have a big day or two knocking of the LGA series, and a few others.

Granett, SVKR_WA and I had hatched a plan to head out and knock over some of the LGA series and also see how many we could get in a day. Our goal was 200 as we wanted to camp up as well so had to leave early.
We ended up with around 200 of the series. Starting at 7.00ish and finishing here at 1.30pm to head of and find a nearby cache and also do some maintenance.
We had a great day with many laughs shared at the expense of ourselves and also other members of the Fellowship
We decided to head up to Congelin to camp for the night where I am writing this log.
Thanks FellowshipOfTheTrail for placing this cache.

Time to go back and dish out a few favourite points. Seeing as how nearly all of the caches in this power trail are exactly the same container, with slight variations in the style of hide, I had to come up with a different rationale on which caches deserved a fav. Why Melville? Well, being a geocacher, and in Western Australia, who hasn't heard of the Duck Run along the Swan and Canning Rivers? Yup, this fav point is being awarded for being the home of duck43 and all of the amazing caches he has created over time. My personal favourite was the jellyfish, but there are still half dozen or so that have popped up since I was last up that way. Might just have to plan another trip up...
Am super, super happy! They're all done!! Yay!!!
Now I have to log them all. Not so super happy now am I?
Oh well, here goes - all will be pretty much generic, unless something about the cache, the location or something else at gz warrants a mention.
Numbers, numbers, numbers. Not normally my thing, but I did enjoy the two days spent out there with geobuddy marke8183. I supplied the food, drink, directions and other necessities whilst he did the driving, and all without a complaint. Sweet man that he is. And numbers aren't his thing either. He has probably visited about a half of all the caches I have logged and yet he has only logged 158 to date.
The Fellowship of the Trail have put in a lot of work in setting up this power trail. I can only imagine how many visits they had to make to get them all out, and then the maintenance will be ongoing. Power to them!! Awesome work guys. Thanks.

A long, record-breaking day with Spatialriq collecting as many caches on the LGA series as we could. 328 in total for me and the only blemish was a section of flooded road we couldn't access.
All quick finds except where the rain had washed the leaf litter around the base of trees.
The ants were out in force but luckily there were no reptiles.
Thanks Fellowship for this great series.

Organised a full caching day with ssclan to find as many of the LGA series as we could. So left the Northern suburbs around 5am arriving at the first cache around 7:15am (after breaky at Armadale maccas). Found the last cache around 5:15pm, and got home around 7:30pm.
Ended up with 329 finds in about 10hrs! Managed to complete the entire Southern section and a good amount of the Western side, apart from 5 that were unreachable due to some flooded roads. Luckily all the rain hadn't effected the roads. Also picked up a few other caches in the area.
A great days geocaching, smashed my previous day record of 150, and also passed the 5,000 finds mark too!
Thanks to the Fellowship for putting all these geocaches out, a massive effort I'm sure.

As to plan we headed out to Boddington with neva2old to make a start on the LGA series and a couple others on the map too. An early start with hitting the road at 3am and claiming our first smiley at 4.40am and our last at 7.40pm. We spent an hour in Boddington....... coffee...... we needed coffee !! One car, we worked as a team and we went to every cache together. Finding our rhythm, we were signing a log every 2 minutes, an average of 30 finds every hour, we were on a roll. We had one DNF for the day and a massive 435 finds, WOW we are ecstatic and exhaustion has set in but it was well worth the effort. We will head out in the near future to claim the remainder of the LGA Series. Thanks to everyone involved in placing the caches around Boddington, TFTC
Out and about today with Parkacruz, our adventures started and 3am, to get here for and early start and to try and get and many smilies as possible on this series. We managed 429 smilies and 1 dnf which bought our total for the day to 435 a s we collected a few others on the way. We had 1 hr off the series to get a coffee which for some reason took a long time to make. We finished our day caching at sunset and then the drive back, so we arrived home at 10 pm. A massive day for us 19 hours.
We thought that we did a great days work- 1 car- 3 cachers -435 caches. woohoo
Thanks for the series Fellowshipofthetrail

Hoping to finish the rest of the LGA series, but was not to be. Got really hot out there. So after about half that we had left. We decided to call it a day. But we'll be back to finish them in a couple of weeks, tftc sl tnln.
Headed out to make a big dent in this series. All up we had 221 finds for the day (220 in this series) and 4dnf's. All caches signed as MCJ to represent the clan Muskat83, ctvdlinden and myself, janssej, which was an easy acronym to remember seeing the cricket was on the radio.
All in all, a great day out - the heat didn't affect us too much as I think it was cooler in Boddington than it was in the metro area. Lots of competition going on, especially between all the geokids as to who would have success at each cache. Thanks for the great series and glad it's back online!
I currently have 0 finds in this LGA.

Part of our clan got together and decided on an ambitious total of approx 224 for the day. We drove down from home base (Perth area) bright and early. We - muskcat83, janssej & ctvdlinden - split the kids up and continued on. We had a great day out and found 221 (4 DNF's). Thanks for the series and so happy they are back online again.
Joined up with Geosister (janssej) and Brother and Sister in laws clan (ctvdlinden) on a preplaned trip to do the LGA series in Williams. We logged all our finds with MCJ (a play on MCG as we are all cricket lovers). TFTC and the putting the series together. All in all, we found 221 caches for the day and 4 dnf's.
This was the 195th cache for the day, the weather forecast was for warm weather, but it didn’t bother us at all. A great day out.
Currently, I haven't found any caches in this LGA.

The local Shire has asked that we review the placement of these caches. Please do not attempt to find until they are back online. Unfortunately we will have to delete any 'Found it' logs until we get the green light. Apologies for any inconvenience but please do not attempt these caches at this time. Thanks
Day Eighteen of our holiday in Western Oz.
Bettyboo3747 and I loitered around Quindanning, and we did a few more of the LGA series.
A lovely sunny day with green fields, lots of wildflowers, and dry roads.
Our second day on the LGA series. We started near the pub and cut across to Williams for lunch (and out internet fix), then back to do the arms of that track, finishing up back at the pub for dinner.
I think we did most of the WA series and fair slug of the NSW series.
A good container to use for the series, and a nice collection of hides
Thanks, Robmc.

#13030. Day 18 of our WA holiday and our first day based at Quindanning.
A full day chasing more caches in the LGA Series. First cache signed at 8.00am and we put in a solid 3.5 hours before heading into Williams for lunch and for some internet reception.
Another glorious day with fields of gold and fields of green, blue skies and plenty of wonderful scenery in all directions. We are also enjoying the wildflower displays along the roadsides.
We were pleased to see the ammo can at LGA Boddington. At LGA Wandering we had a nasty experience with a swarm of wasps (we originally thought they were bees, but on reflection think they were wasps as they chased us all the way to the car, into the car and would not leave us alone.
After lunch we put in some more hard yards and ended up with a day's total of 202, our best day ever.
Thanks FellowshipOfTheTrails

Found by Mary & David at 1620 on our third and final day on the LGA trail. Delighted to finish them all today. Our thanks to FellowshipOfTheTrail.
We made a very early start today with richlink and JacobsCrew2 to endeavour to complete this series in one day. All caches were found and logs signed with our team name for the day RIJ. We had a lot of fun along the way and retired exhausted at the end of the trail.
Thank you FellowshipOfTheTrail - a sterling effort!
Thank you FellowshipOfTheTrail - a sterling effort!
After conferring with previous finders and at their encouragement, together with iluvtrekking and JacobsCrew2 we decided to embark on an attempt to log all caches in this series in the one day. It took a lot of pre-planning and mapping to be confident we could do it, so Fathers Day was nominated for the quest. Arrived at the first cache before sun up on a day that proved to be very chilly with the temperature not rising above 12 deg all day. We worked systematically through the different sections and were elated to have logged (used RIJ to record our visit) all the finds due to excellent co-ords provided by the various CO's of the series. This is definitely our type of scenery for caching and although it was cold, we all enjoyed the day and will remember it for a long time to come. Thank you FellowshipOfTheTrail
Out with just M4yb today to get a few more of these and hope fully set a few new records for us, oh and get a bit closer to our milestones before WA GOES BIG.
Thanks for the series and smileys FOTT

We only have 81 of this series left to do. We decided that it would be great to finish them before the end of August but dont have much time between other commitments. What the heck ....might as well go for it. TFTC
Second raid on the LGA series is happening today, with a couple of goals to fulfill. Accommodation at the Quindanning Inne has been arranged and caches loaded, we hit the road for a couple of geodays.
Thanks again to the Fellowship CO's for all the much appreciated hard work in creating this Trail.
A fave here for all the years I lived in this LGA!

As part of the FOTT I am pleased to be able to log this one as a find! The series took many months of planning and was not without the odd hiccup but we managed to jump the hurdles and keep the series in place. A fantastic addition to geocaching in WA and I am proud of the efforts of the other FOTT members (AlliedOz, Granett, KrabiBoy, Kyzabra and SVKR_WA) for all they have done in getting this series up and running.
Another day of caching with S'n'N. Very excited to tackle this series. All caches are easy to find. Found 59 today. Thank you for this series
