The Adelaide Leap Day Mega and Canberra Geobash gave me a great excuse for a road trip. This trip has shown me so many new and interesting places as Ive chased LGAs, oldies, challenges, interesting D/T combinations, rarer cache types and favourites.Meeting up with friends old and new along the way, we sometimes cached with them and sometimes alone but always had a great time. Today we made our through North Western Victoria to St Arnaud where we unhitched the van to make it easier to complete this challenge series. A nice variety of achievable challenges, the hides were all easy to find especially with the hints provided. We enjoyed our time driving these roads as we went from cache to cache and will check if we qualify when we next get the chance.Thanks to the CO for placing and maintaining this cache and adding to our enjoyment.

Well after my two weeks away to Tasmania and then to SA for the Leap Year Mega Im now back at home so it is back to suburban caches after work to try and beat my last streak of 67.It is just a personal challenge that Im working on.I signed this one back when the Mega was on and I have finally achieved this one after picking up the last 3 souvenirs at the Leap year Mega in SA.There are a few souvenirs that Im proud of and they would be my first one being Australia and the rest of the states and territories that I managed to do all in one year.Posums used Project-GC Challenge Checker to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.Number of souvenirs: 150 (150 required)Thanks TeamStArnaud TFTC.

My muggle partner and I are on a road trip towards Adelaide for the Great Leap Forward Mega. We are spending the night in St Arnaud after completing the Challenge series just out of town. I feel Im really living up to my caching name today weirdo as we have been out in 40C heat collecting these. The wind is howling and the dust was horrendous. Anyway, that is caching and its just good to be out and about. Lucky no wriggling sticks, as there were quite a few sightings the last time I was here. weirdobiker has used Project-GC Challenge Checker to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did..

Log signed 9/1/2022. Call it a New Years Eve resolution or just a personal commitment to myself. Call it what ever you want, but I want to make the effort to revisit Challenge caches that I either didnt qualify for at the time of signing the log, or simply didnt check because I was just more interested in finding caches at the time. It seems following up can often be forgotten, so Im trying to recheck between 1 & 7 per week, spare time permitting. Today is one of those I cracked a from the checker, so Im claiming a find as of today. Challenge completed Its a great day for caching!

I really liked St Arnaud. Great caravan park as well as lots of interesting caches.Soooo many challenges, I was a little worried that the dirt roads would be impassable due to the rains. I was originally coming to St Arnaud first on the 26th, but the weather delayed my departure a day and I went the other way around, with Melbourne first & St Arnaud after. It seems about a quarter of my list of challenges to do got archived before I got here, but that still left a lot to do. Writing notes for now, will check qualifications for all of them later-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Found on a quick trip around Victoria to mop up all of the counties I was missing. Had my new swag so stayed in caravan parks so I could sleep while the car charged. Was at almost 100% charge every morning, and the nights camping cost about the same as a full charge at a supercharger anyway.
 
27-Dec-23
We finally had a chance to check to see if we qualify for this challenge and we did![MeAndDe](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=MeAndDe) has used [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC80YMZ/41276 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.Number of souvenirs: 169 (150 required)Thanks for find #5275TNLN

I found this cache in April when we were last here for an event but signed/stamped it again last week when we were in the area for another event. I’m not sure what went wrong, but it obviously didn’t get put on my found saves to check later on. Today we’re home from travelling in the Wimmera and I’ve checked my statistics. I might not have had the numbers but I certainly do have them now!

A quick overnight stop in town and few cherry picked caches before continuing my way north.
I didn't bother to sign this during the Mega, as I thought it would take me years to complete, but souvenirs seem easier to get these days, I visited this one after breakfast once I was on the road again, a quick detour

Thanks sharkiefan

It looks like I have helped Signal escape the cave or swamp or wherever, and having just logged an attendance for an International Geocaching Day Event and earned the associated souvenirs for both, it appears I am now more than qualified to finally log this challenge that I signed way back on 6/7/2019.

Found and log signed. I have had my eye on these challenges ever since I was first introduced to challenge caching Razz. We decided to head out to St Arnaud this weekend, following the weather as everywhere else was expecting rain. Good old St Arnaud didn't let us down; the weather was glorious and there was green grass abound Razz.
We left Tatura at 0500hrs as we had all these challenges on our list, plus some choice mixed caches for 'ron. We steamed through these quicker than expected, so there were smiles all round Smile.
Thank you Sharkiefan for providing these challenges. Now all I have to do is work out which one's I qualify for, and what I have to do to qualify for the one's I don't Smile.

TFTC. We signed this challenge cache at the St Arnuad event . At that stage we were well short of the number required. With heavy rains up here we had a chance to look over challenge caches and found that we had qualified.

As it happens, my 150th souvenir, enabling me to log this challenge, was the one for last year's Blue Switch Day. I ran the checker and made a note to that effect, but... didn't actually get around to to logging it.

So why not log this for this year's?

Why not, indeed...

Happy Blue Switch Day.

Thanks, sharkiefan

After visiting in St Arnaud for the Mega in 2019, I was well off the mark in this cache, so finally today I qualify.

Fitzy_1965 and I travelled to St Arnaud with two geo-kids in tow.

Day 3 - we teamed up with ZimbaW & Miz_Wackett and signed logs as FMMZ or ZMMF.

Unfortunately I do not yet qualify for this one with currently 92 souvenirs collected. Will log when I have them all.


I have checked to see if I now qualify and I do.

I found this cache and signed the logbook back in November 2019 and have just realised that I now qualify, so I guess I better log it as a find!

Thanks sharkiefan for the challenge and the cache.

I signed the cache for this logbook 15th Nov 2019 during the St Arnaud Mega event but I did not qualify at the time. I've been working on this challenge for the past couple of years and helped by the recent Summit series of Souvenirs, I finally qualify.

The Challenge Checker says YES!:

I found this cache a while ago while I was driving back from a family wedding in Bendigo, though I did not qualify for it at the time. So, I signed the log and ever since, I have been working my way towards completing the challenge. It took a little time to work through the challenge, as souvenirs are not always easy to come by, but I eventually got there with the help of the ‘Reach the Peak’ souvenirs. Now that I qualify, I am upgrading my write note to a find.

After being first to find the actual container on the day it was published in May 2019, we could not log it as a find back then as we had not qualified for the challenge and still had fifty odd souvenirs to go. Today we watched the GIFF 2021 film reel and received our 150th souvenir for doing so. Thank you for this challenge sharkiefan.

I was able to the log book on 16/11/19 while attending the St Arnauds Mega event with only 100 souvenirs at the time.
The 50 additional souvenirs came quicker than expected with all the new souvenir promotions, using this log to claim another one in the Reach The Peak series.

After the saturating rain yesterday we’re we’re unsure if we would be able to attempt these caches. Amazingly the roads had dried out quickly, but we were very cautious.
We signed the log today and will follow up to check if we qualify and change to a found-it log soon. Fortunately this cache was high and dry.
Thanks for the challenge cache.

"First of the Challenges signed and we don't even qualify for it. Could be a while. Nice little containers these and thanks for the hints. A pretty part of the countryside, especially now it is green, green, green."

Signed on 2/7/20 and finally qualify. Yah. Thanks for the cache. I have 152 souvenirs after getting 2 early today. Even though I was technically on 150 a couple of weeks back I felt I couldn’t log as one of them is the NT souvenir which I got from a travelling cache (when they existed). I couldn’t log in good faith til I properly qualified. Thanks for a great challenge. Been slowly ticking them off!

Went there in 2 years ago and had logged it.
