Reperio 12:34Day 2 of our Capital GeoBash mega caching trip, and Miss Vitruvius and I continued on doing some of the longer series and power trails just outside of Canberra. We moved from Goulburn this morning through Tarago, Bungendore, and then onto Captains Flat where we camped for the night.

Find # 8399

Making the most of the opportunity to duck out for a few hours of caching fun. Seeking out the occasional challenge or two, or trying to mop up as many solves as I can to keep that long list under control. Seems to increase faster than it decreases

Headed up to this area by Captain Flat's Road to pick up a bunch of caches which are a short drive from home. Completed early in the morning to avoid the midday sun, after picking up some serious sunburn yesterday.

TFTC!

Quick find. TFTC

Out about town for just a few hours today. Fun to pick up a few finds before heading back to the grandkids on school holidays. TFTC ALL7.

Easy find! First to write in new log.

Put new one with log .

In Queanbeyan for some repairs. With a rental in hand I had some time to collect caches this side of the ACT. I drive around to collect some of the roadside caches with the occasional short walk.

This cache: A quick find along the way. A little water in the container but log still ok.

Thank you ALL7 for putting the cache out and maintaining it.

Log a bit damp but easily found

I wasn't really sure whether I'd get away for this caching trip, but in the end I bit the bullet and headed out for a few days through the southern NSW countryside. The roads were a minefield of potholes, fuel prices were off the chart and nearly every cache had some form of water damage from the recent big wet but that didnt detract from the fun.

Thanks to all the CO's for contributing to my caching finds on this 2-day trip. Apologises for not writing something unique about each find. TFTC

Completing the run out to Braidwood via Captains flat today to collect a number of caches. TFTC

Accompanies All7 out and about caches for run series on way to home. Enjoyed day TFTC ALL7

#11712 - 9:44:00 AM; Another mission with Sol de lune today to top up our daily cache tally. Met up in Queanbeyan before heading out along the Captains Flat Road and a couople of its tributaries. Managed 14 from 14 today and all were found in good order. recent rains made things a little slippery in a couple of places, but we made it throu unscathed in just under an hour after leaving our rendezvous point. Logs signed LL & sdl or vice versa. TFTC ALL7

Another run out this way with LuckyL10n to fill in calendar days. No problems with any of the caches today and all were found without issue....one or two sneaky ones, but all good.

Thanks for the caches ALL7...

Last one for today. I’ll have to come back for the one I missed; I had a car on my tail. Thanks for the series ALL7

#3948 On my way to a local farm, this cache was on the way. A quick find. Replaced as found. TFTC.

Thanks for placing this series in beautiful countryside. TFTC

Catching up on some very late logs.

Day 3 of our planned assault on Canberra with the same group consisting of The Drovers, Phetlern, Micaparamedic,
Alansee GoodLook, and ourselves.

We had another busy but very enjoyable day chasing series caches and happily we found all we were looking for with no DNF's

We all had a fantastic day and would like to write more but as we have said when you do so many in such a short time it is hard to remember individual hides.

This in no means takes away from our appreciation to the CO's for all the effort, time and expense they have done to let us find so many caches.

As per the other two days we signed as "The Mob" to save room in the log books.

Many thanks /// for the hides and the fun.

Wow - we so lucky to be able to explore so many different areas of the Aussie landscape following our passion for the geo game, particularly in the company of Alansee, Good Look, Micaparamedic, Team Crackers and The Drovers. (For economy of space logs of caches we found are stamped "The Mob"
Another fabulous day of fun and friendship.

Thanks ALL7 for placing so many caches on the gameboard, which players enjoy finding.

We stamped the logs as "The Mob" to save space in the logs - today there were 6 teams caching together: Team Crackers, The Drovers, Phetlern, Alansee, the lovely micaparamedic and myself.

Most of the cache finds were straight forward, yet a couple stumped us. A few were located where it was difficult to safely pull the car off of the road, but we made it work with some creative maneuvers.

2020 was not a great year, and the beginnings of 2021 have also been tricky - so when it looked like the various borders would be open again (without quarantine restrictions), a trip that was planned at the Clear Waters mega was able to occur.

Adelaide, Victoria, NSW and Canberra - a decent drive, filled with various caching activities including Adventure Labs.

Several days caching with the awesome Team Crackers, gorgeous The Drovers, fab Phetlern, cool Alansee, and the lovely micaparamedic.

We laughed, sang to a vast variety of songs and chatted - almost non-stop! [^] We piled into cars and had such a fun time. Despite the light showers, windy conditions at times, we also had sunny days to enjoy caching in.

A sincere thanks to ALL7 for placing these caches, including the enjoyable little series.

The third day of caching logging as THE MOB. Once more we appreciated the CO's efforts in putting them out. The weather on all 3 days has been great for caching.

Caching as 'The Mob' - 6 teams made up of Team Crackers, Phetlern, Micaparamedic,
Alansee GoodLook, and ourselves.

Day 3 - Concentrating on trails, and a few nearby caches.
A few caches were replaced, and some logs replaced due to being wet.
Thanks to all the CO's for an entertaining day.

SecretSquirrel-BJC and I spent a great morning chasing most of this series. Lovely sunny weather and lots of caches.

An easy find in the early light of dawn, thanks ALL7.

Another day caching in the area. Thanks to all for your hides

Cache 6767 on 17 Nov 2020.

After some late night work, I had the morning off as compensation, which was fortunate, as I needed to get a few caches today. I decided to make a start on the caches along the road to Captains Flat, which were well overdue to be found so Bobl27 and I drove out here at a leisurely time of the morning. All caches found reasonably quickly and in accordance with hints, when I could access them! Boy is the CF raid busy though! I will be back for sure next week to make further inroads into these cache series’.

Quick find.

Thanks ALL7 for the cache and the fun!

Found with AngelG27 on a mid morning mission to collect a few caches for her stats. She did the expert finding while I did the expert driving. TFTC

Found while collecting caches in the CFT and ALL7 series. This was a straightforward find at GZ. Thanks ALL7.

Easy find here. TFTC ALL7

On my mission to find 21 this morning to reach 1000! Found!

With an RDO from work today, sun was shining, and the temp was rather pleasent, so I decided to go get some caches out towards Captains Flat. Picked up a decent haul being I was caching on my own, had 1 DNF and 2 unattempted (1 due to the muggle across the road who wouldnt take his eyes on me and my car, so thought it was best to move along, and the other was due to the terrain, being alone, wasnt willing to risk it).

Thanks for the hides ALL7 Another handful completed.

#13221 @1710
Out for an after work drive to top up my find numbers for this date. Easily found. Took 2 TBs. TFTC.

New road for us and an easy find for the cache.

Never been along here before, enjoying the drive and finds with 131

After being cooped up all week with work it was that time again today for some fresh air, although maybe a little too fresh. Told the CO of our plans so she joined us to do a maintenance run as well, replaced all logs with fresh ones except for the ones that looked like they had been replaced recently. Managed to get them all done before the rain and sleet set in.
Lots of laughs and fun while out on the trail.

Thanks for all the hides ALL7

Nice sized cache and no one around .
Thanks to All7.

Found on a lovely Autumn sunny day. Probably the last time to be able to do this but made sure we did the right thing with hand sanitizer and using care when handling things.

TFTC ALL7

Found today on a drive to pick up some more of ALL7s caches. Lots of hand sanitizer used and great to be out in the Autumn sunshine.

It’s a leap day so we decided to make the the most of all things caching.. yay!!! Out with GLISS! on the hunt for a cache of every size, a cache of every type and a total of a hundred.. well if we can pull it off. Thanks to all the cache owners who helped make this an awesome day. Thanks for the cache.

It's 29th Feb and I'm building up my numbers with nibletricecakes. TFTC

A quick early morning fix before the slower stuff later.
TFTC Wilbert67

Did maintenance on this one for CO with pleasure. So have signed log and left a Tb.

Got put new one.. all good..

Thank you to SG put new one for me.. I own you drink soon .. thank you

No luck today

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Will check next week

Found evidence of the cache hide, but the cache itself was no where to be seen.

Had a good look around. There were some great places it could have been but alas. No sky walker to be had today

Rumour has it caches out this way may soon be archived (?), better get to it then. A great day to be out, catching also a little vitamin D along the way. Managed a bakers dozen before time for me ran out, families duties call.

All caches found quickly and without issue. Any specific details added to the end of log. TNLNSL TFTC

Log full, needs replacing

I was such a doubting thomas after my dnf! Found easily on this second visit but the hint was no help. Log full & wet but this doesn't detract from the satisfaction of turning a blue face into a yellow one. Tftc

ST and I looked but no luck today



Thanks anyway ALL7

Quick park and grab. TFTC.

After a long break, the "Kayak Cachers" team was reunited and out bagging a bundle today. Absolutely perfect conditions, not too warm and still. All7's trails out about Captains Flat Rd, (a place I am quite familiar with as I own a series along it) were a great place to be today. We managed to find all but two and we think that one of those was MIA based on prior logs. Some great hides today, nothing too difficult, but the occasional challenge.

We saw the previous two logs indicated it was missing, but we still had a quick look. Nothing to find here.

Thanks anyway ALL7

Found, TFTC.

Looked around for a bit but have up

Oh oh! First of the day and a DNF! Think it may be gone as there is plenty of what might have been camouflage bits near a suspiciously good nook! Will watch for the next non-generic log.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... O319 decided on an afternoons Geocaching
Striking out from his top secret base (in Jerrabomberra) he targets the Lolly and Star Wars trails. During the battle, Rebel spies managed to only out smart him with only two DNF's. TFTC

Found on a fast afternoon of caching with sebass14. Decided to attempt the caches at the beginning of the CFT. After pulling up safely with S14's navigation help, each cache was parked at for as safely as we could and all were found pretty quickly in good condition. However, I think the hint for this one needs adjusting! This area was beautiful to drive through on a lovely day for caching; some with nice little views. TFTC ALL7!

Nice hiding place
Found with Toyhunters
Thanks for the cache

Out finding caches for the Mystery at the Museum game. A quick find, thanks ALL7.

Nice series on a very fresh Canberra winters day. Thank we had a great afternoon.

No joy here. Didn't seem to be at the obvious spot. Maybe its gone. Maybe I'm blind. Time will tell I suppose. Luke - use the force. Seems I need that power to find a few caches.

I've enjoyed today, it was a very nice day, the drive was interesting, and many of the caches were in interesting spots. I had no trouble finding any of them. Some of the logs have been wet and are now dry, and several are getting reasonably full. I don't think a maintenance run is needed. Thanks for the caches and the series.

Number 18 of 26 today.

I'm sorry for the generic logs.

Found it.TFTC

First day of the long weekend and I was off for an afternoon geomission to finish off the rest of the ALL7 series off Captain's Flat Rd and a few other randoms as well

All caches were quick finds apart from a couple of tricky ones, and had another fun drive around the area collecting the caches!

Thanks for the cache and the series, ALL7

Out for a bit of trail bashing. I wonder what the days total will be? TFTC. Log full.
Also found some interesting flora!

My second power trail day with Marmaduke Rothschild. An easy haul of 140 caches for the day - easy because I was the driver today and only did an occasional one. TFTC and the series.

A drive in the country with JohnnyBoyACT. 130 plus caches for the day, a lot easier to do when there are two of us.

Log book full and needs a replacement.

Found with fitzy, minniek and albida during the Mega. So many caches which was a lot of fun. Thanks.

OZ Mega 2019. Clear Waters Queanbeyan. Day 8. After the mornings events we headed out for a bunch of caches along the captains flat road. I went with MinnieK and Fitzy_1965. It was fun to get to a line of caches again and the very heavy rain at the end caused a bit of added interest, especially when we came across a river over the road. It was good we were on the correct side to get home.

Thanks.

**Albida**

Fitzy_1965, Albida33, GSC2000 & death_killer & I decided to head out for a bit more caching after attending an event at the War Memorial.

We raced the rain but didn't win.....ending up having to take one of the furthest caches we got to back to camp for the night as the road was flooded after a hail storm.

All caches were found quickly and we signed as MK, F65, A33 & G2K or MFGA.

18,011. Found during the Clear Waters Mega Event extended weekend with minniek and albida33.

After the events we headed out for some power trail madness ! Grabbed as many as we could before heading back to the campsite for dinner. All were found without problems unless otherwise said.

Thanks ALL7 !!

Attending the Clear Water 2019 mega this Easter in Queanbeyan. Apologies for the generic log but we have found too many to compose individual logs. Many thanks to all the cache owners for their caches, which have been exceptional in their maintenance I have had only 1 dnf and that was only because I was not going to make a tree climb without seeing where the cache was. The vast majority of caches have had very good coordinates. Along with useful hints. TFTC

Great day for geocaching trip. Found and signed as Lucky9 to save space and time on the log. TFTH (Sorry for logged late)

Cool day for the geocaching trip and found it with "Lucky 9". Thanks for leading us here.

Obvious spot looked badly disturbed and thought the worst. Keep looking anyhow and found the hide safe and sound. Log is full and didn’t have any more paper.

Found during our week at the Clear Waters MEGA event.
The weather gods certainly turned on some April sunshine for us.
Such an amazing week of caching around Canberra and surrounds.
Thanks to the CO for this hide.

Found with McAdie and Jelly_bean14 during the Clear Waters Event week.
Fantastic weather for every day.
We had a fun time caching around here.
Thanks for the cache hide.

Thanks to the CO for the cache hide.

In town for the Mega event at Queanbeyan, today I teamed up with My good mate Roostaman, we began the day doing the lab caches before heading off around town to pick up several caches.

Thanks ALL7 for the cache.

I have found this cache during the Clear Water Mega or in the weeks leading up to the Mega that was held I Queanbyean, New South Wales during the Easter Long Weekend of 2019. Due to the very large volume of caches and very long hours this is he first chance that I have had to Log all my finds,

This Mega Event will go down as one of the best mega events ever. I went on several Geocaching Tours, Swapped over 200 Pathtags, Bought Some Geocoins, Made some New Friends, Cached with Old Friends. During the Clear Water Mega I managed to get 8 FTF (as of 2359 on the 20/4/19. I am hoping to get more FTFs in the next few days. I’m sad to see the Mega ending but I’m excited for my next adventure in Hawaii for a few weeks after the mega ends. . Thanks for all the caches and sorry for the generic log for this cache but with over 200 finds in the last few weeks it would be too hard to write a different one for each cache. A very big thank you to all the CO’s for your caches. I also donated 25 pathtags to the Girl Guides to thank them for their hard work. Had fun being the Clear Water Yowie for over 7 hours on the 19th April also.

My name will not appear in the All7 caches as I helped her put out hundreds of her caches. All other logs have been signed DSD or Darksidedan or Darkside depending on the size of the cache.

I have included one of the Geocaching poems that I have written. I hope that anyone reading it likes it

Geocache Poem
By DARKSIDEDAN

My endless search goes on and on
Looking for treasures of every kind
Always chasing just one more find
Putting past DNF’s out of my mind
I step out into the world outside,
Seeking what is hidden from me
What size, shape or form will it be?
Only time will tell, I can’t wait to see
Will I find my prize at the end?
I will search in the failing light and cold
Filling with despair having looked everywhere
Where is this thing that gives my life pleasure?
Looking all around from every angle
I read the logs and check the hint
I curse out loud as I walk in circles
Screaming the bloody thing it not there
As time flies by and I fail to see,
Never once stopping to realize
It always been there before my eyes
No need for sorrow, there’s the Geocache.

***** I am currently writing very detailed logs because of a challenge provided by Project-GC called "The Author". This Badge challenges geocachers to write logs with an average one hundred words or more in each log. As of the 20th of April 2019 my average is 99 words per log, which seems close to the 100 words per log target. However given that I have found so many GC caches, I have to write many logs with well over 100 words for a long period of time to get my average up. Apologies to anyone who finds the logs tedious but it is the only way that I can strive to attain this challenge. After more than 5000 aches (which includes all cache finds up and including today I am now entertaining the possibility that I might be able to achieve my task very soon. Progress has been better than anticipated.
