Very sneaky hide.

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.

Did you order that thing because of the special hidey hole in it?

A neighbour of ours years ago had a daughter aged about 5 and she was a big Star Wars fan, and used to call herself Chewbacca. One day she got lost at a shopping center and there was an announcement over the loudspeakers that a little girl had been found and her name was Sue Barker....

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

Found with AngelG27 on an early morning caching run before work. She did most of the finding while I was the useful driver and sidekick! TFTC

Cache 6853 on 3 Dec 2020.

Another early morning cache raid with Bobl27 to get some numbers for the day before heading to work. A long drive from home, but a shorter drive back to work Most caches found easily and in accordance with hints provided. Good to make more inroads into these two series.

Had to flick a small cache guardian off the cache before grabbing it.

Thanks ALL7 for the cache and the fun!

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

Another early morning caching mission to top up my find numbers for the day. Cache easily found, and in good condition (thanks to the recent maintenance). A pleasant morning to be out in the country. TFTC.

Great machinery here. There is another close by on private property. Did not take too long to find the cache. Cache in good condition. TFTC ALL7 This is a great series of caches.

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.

A neat hide at GZ.

My favourite character from a series I don’t really remember, age is good sometimes. Natty hide.

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

Sneaky hide and bold .
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.

Coolest of cool little cache hide. A fav from me!
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

I awoke to a bright blue sky for the first time in weeks, so I quickly planned a morning out caching. Knowing the risk of these caches being burnt if fires hit this area, I decided they would be a good target even though I only had a short time available. All caches were found and logs signed mostly as SG.

Early start for Wazza9 and I to cache before the heat, plenty of smoke to breath in. Found 98 today with 2 DNF's, completed some maintenance along the trails, adding additional log sheets to containers, replacing some containers for the CO. The temperature reached 46 degrees when we stopped caching and had lunch in Bungendore in the air con. bring on the . Most were quick finds, some a few meters away, stamped the log and replaced. A big thanks to the CO for placing these trails & caches.

Tftc,
Today's 98 finds will place me a little under 800 away from making 10,000 finds at 10 years of Geocaching on the 28th May 2020.
A decision was made to have a go at this and after all that has been achieved this year, there is still 5 months to get there and a few Power trails will help.
The placement of all were good when you do the caches on the side of the road in the direction you are traveling.

Of the 241 caches attempted, 225 were "Finds" and 16 were DNFs. All caches in good condition but generic log due to the sheer amount of how they blend into each other after a while. TFTC!

This weekend represents The Stumble's annual Canberra trip. We travelled from Goulburn through to Queanbeyan via Tarago (food and service is really good at the pub) and Bungendore.
Out of 241 caches attempted, 225 were "Finds" and 16 were "DNFs". All caches, unless otherwise stated were in good condition. Cache locations varied but those prickly trees were the WORST!! We did encounter a few unique hides which we have awarded FPs for.
We left a lot of swag along the way for the kidlets and deposited a couple of TBs that needed moving on.
To all the CO, TFTC and the (at times) challenges in finding them. Apologies for the generic logs but 241 caches blend in to each other after a while!!

Found 15:42 23/11/19 with TheTrueCornDogs. A nice bit of an old tractor
Log is getting full. Thank you ALL7 for the cache and bringing me to this location.

Found while out powering through a number of caches with MrWindy. Really loved where this was hidden

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

Property owner wandered up as I was logging the find, asking if I was ok, no doubt curious as to WTF I was doing parked next to his driveway. I responded politely saying I was jotting down a few notes, my way of saying NOYFB

After being away on holidays it was great to be back in Australia and out picking up a few with StrangeTrousers who is part of the “Kayak Cachers” team. We are so lucky here with great places to go and views to enjoy whilst also getting those find numbers up. I loved that there were flowers out by the sides of the road as we were picking up our finds – nice to come back to the Canberra region and know that spring is in the air and the warm weather is on the way. Thank you AII7 for your trails.

#5651 29th for today

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.

Loved this one. Nice hide.

Thanks ALL7

Found, TFTC.

Nice hide. TFTH

A very interesting feature and a nice hide but the log is a disaster. Torn!

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; unless otherwise specified. 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. Had a good look all around the hint object. There has been some maintenance work done at GZ and tree branches left here. I suspect it might have been muggled. But then again I could be cache blind. Time will tell.

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 23 of 26 today.

You know you're a cacher when you're willing to drive for hours to find a few small containers, just to leave your name within.
It was 5°C outside when i woke up this morning after having slept in my car at a bush camping site. I made myself a coffee and continued on with my catching trails by 5am. Lots of fog hanging around.
Thanks for the cache.

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.
Great hide.

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

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.

Found. Nice little hide. Tftc

Geo-friends “Lucky 9” Day together. Thanks.

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.

18,017. 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 !!

15381 Day 3 of our Mega adventure. The Morris have headed down the highway for home so today it is Robmc and me, traipsing around town, attending a couple of events and gathering up a few caches.

We are actually staying on this road for the next couple of weeks. Between showers we hopped in the chariot and completed what we started the other day.

Thanks ALL7

Day three at the Mega, after the rains had passed through, BettyBoo3747 and I started collected a quick half dozen in our street.

A nice hide.
I was sure I had the hide, but right spot, wrong surface!
Thanks, Robmc.

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

In town for the Mega event at Queanbeyan, today I teamed up with My good mate Roostaman, we had a massive day out on the trails after tackling a few caches in town that were on the solved list.

Thanks ALL7 for the cache.

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.

Found with McAdies and Geo_Eddie during the Clear Waters Event week.
I had such a fun time finding caches and exploring the area.
Thanks to the CO for the cache hide.

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.

With Deaf cachers??????

Myself, DSD and J+J.au were present in the placing of these caches by ALL7!
We had a full day out on the roads, with everyone assigned a job at certain intervals including adding logs to caches, picking suitable containers for each hide, agreeing on a hiding spot and the CO herself was very quick at taking down coordinates on her GPS and logging them all by hand on the good ol' pen and paper between caches!

I had the pleasure of adding my own little twist to a couple of ALL7's hides, I am sure you can guess which ones had my influence Thanks for letting me add some flare to the trail, I am sure it will make for good breaks between the easy ones!

We had a successful day all up, and great to see so many people logging finds on them already. Sorry for the late logs, just catching up now with this busy period of time juggling work, Clear Waters mega and Easter.

I should add, that my name is not in the logs for this long powertrail, as the caches were made up on the spot and we placed them in quick succession. However all party's present can confirm we were all there, and survived Dan's crazy driving...! I think some of the hides will also show my colours if you know me well! We also took a group photo at Apple Box Flat which was the big turn-around point.

Thanks!

I've found some time to sort my logging out, but unfortunately I'll have to post generic logs as it has been so long.
My sincerest apologies to the cache owner.
Thanks for the cache.
