Anna Tommy - Big Toe Ward Belt, South Australia, Australia
By addersbear on 15-Nov-19. Waypoint GC8G66C

#24739. Day 2, phase 1 of the AT series. This phase involved finishing the sealed road we had made a start on (one cache) two days ago. Finding good parking was tricky during this phase (often we'd find an OK park midway between two caches, and walk to each while parked there. The closest we got to a DNF during this series. Eventually I spotted the cache, and Troodles looped round to sign the log. TFTC.

StreetWalkerNZ and I left Nuriootpa by 7:30am to head back to the Anna Tommy series which we had started on Friday.This was one of the hardest to find. GZ was a thicket of thorns. I tried the back approach, but didn't quite end up in the right place to see the container. Almost gave up and had another look and there it was. Phew. TFTC.

The puzzles for this series have been burning away in our brains for years until one of our team had a Eureka moment on Saturday the 10th of August. We'd been toiling away on some other GeoArt and a thought occurred that had not been checked. At last, we had our answers! A little bit of a struggle for the first four, then some more research to get an exact match: it was all smooth sailing from there.Please excuse the copy and paste.TFTC Skuzzybear and Blackadders.

Day trip planned to find this great series of caches.TFTC!

After a nearby event, doineedthis and I headed into the wilds of the Gawler Belt where we had solved a mystery or 40 and just had to find them Cool fact: In today's medicine, the big toe can even be used as a replacement if your thumb is lost.TFTC addersbearKeep smiling

Out with Jolly0 to complete this seriesNot just any old toe, but the BIG TOE!

Day 3 of 3. After completing the nearby bike series, we drove to Nuriootpa.After completing the Barossa trail, we set our sights on the Anna Tommy series.FurfacesLL & Rapidlywild had previously done them so we headed of with the other teams.We stamped the log as 'The Mob' to save space and time.'The Mob' this time included:- feathertop, GoodLook, TheDame, and ourselves.Signed and replaced as found.Many thanks for placing this cache, addersbear, for us and others to find.

It was Day 3 and our large group of cachers known collectively as The Mob were ready to tackle the Anna Tommy caches. Members included The Drovers, Goodlook The Dame and myself. We had a Mob stamp.A clever series of caches that were solved via a website quite some time ago. After a morning in the Baroosa we crossed in the Gawler region and tackled thi series.Most hides along dirt roads but some along bitumen roads with lots of roadside rubbish.Nice ontainers tethered to bushes and trees and easy to spot. All in good condition too.Logs stamped as The MobThank you so much for the series!

A walk around the back of indicated GZ was just the thing here.After starting the day doing the first 10 in the PATOGs I found 3 more at the Gawler end before attempting to reconstruct Anna, or Tommy. Good to be caching over this way again. I will put specific cache-related comments as I post. I seemed to mostly sign in just behind NZ cacher bullertrout. I also signed alongside some geo-stamps which took up 4 or 5 lines. Sad to see so much fly-tipping on the quieter back roads, some wasn't even dumped off the road but on it. A nice day to be out and about though.The last full day in town after my original plans to stay til Monday were changed. I had some admin stuff to tidy up before I could think about doing anything for myself so those were attended to via some messaging to and from NZ. I headed out for a walk along the cycleway besides the Expressway and managed a first few PATOG caches, esp nice now the weather has dropped to a much more palatable 19 -25 degrees for the daytime, yay. Following that it was back for some more work stuff before heading out to Gawler to head around the delightful Anna Tommy series of caches (and collateral extras). I was lucky that a recently made acquaintance was able to help me with the series of solves, thanks sooooo much for that. Then it was time to cache in the richness and make the finds, I was not disappointed. And so South Australia, so long and thanks for all the cache(s). I think this March will be my most bountiful month since I started caching, not bad considering I missed out on 3 days, by choice, and today is only 20th of the month. Alas my NZ pickings are slim so back to a more sedentary pace of finds. One last time, thanks to all the COs whose finds make this game so awesome.

In the area mainly to complete the Anna Tommy series. This was #4 of 44.Rented a bike at the Gawler Visitor Info Centre. Did 36 km total. And always into the wind. Took me about three hours. No problems here.

Back to caching by myself now. Heading over to Port Lincoln way as never been over that way. Not aiming on getting big numbers.

On a maintenance run - all reset - addersbear

I had solved some of these but hadn't had time to solve them all before the trip to Austalia. And then I joined in with NZ_B and MrMcgoo (they signed as mmnz) and found a bunch, and now I am on a maintenance run with the CO to fix those that I identified had problems and to find the rest.A great drive around the back roads.

Here's one to find today.Thank you for placing the cache opted-out user.

Today Mr Mc-goo and I are completing the Anna Tommy series. It was hot yesterday so we decided to complete the Unicorns. So we are here today with the Seagnoid before we head to Adelaide and fly home to New Zealand on Wednesday. Some caches will be good for the 81 grid challenge and for challenging module of the [GC30AD8](http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC30AD8) DGSC Challenge (West Coast) challenge in NZ - known as the Doctorate of Geocaching Science. Each log is signed MMNZ.Mr-Mcgoo and I are visiting Adelaide for the Mega GCA1DNA The Great Leap Forward on the 29 February. We are finding caches for the fun of finding them, or we are targeting specific caches - puzzles we have solved and caches that will help us complete challenges. Of course, there will be lots of laughter, no doubt at my expense .A huge thank you to all the COs who have placed the caches we find and log today.Kia ora rawa atu for the cache opted-out user.

Travelled to Adelaide with friends for The Leap Year Event and my first trip this far south. Lots of Art to find now that we have the co-ords sorted and all logs signed as Unicorns which was RoddyC, hatzofff, snickersallen, grannysmith1947, patrol14 and Imbunda. We're having a ton of fun down here. TFTC

I was the Tasmanian Member of a group from Queensland, ACT, New South Wales and Victoria that decided to look for this series after having a snack at the Tanunda Bakery. Having solved these puzzles and learnt a lot about anatomy in the process quite some time ago it was time to complete the process by finding the caches. To save space the log was signed QANVT. I appreciate the great effort you have made in placing and maintaining these caches for our challenge and enjoyment.

Ive headed to SA to attend the Great Leap Forward mega in Adelaide. So far our journey has found us in Bendigo, St Arnaud, Halls Gap and Mount Gambier, Millicent and Victor Harbor and lots of places in between. Ive targeted some geo art on the way over including the GV2020 and crayfish series, wine glass and wine bottle and challenge series. We are targeting another geo art series today, signing as QANVT which represents Queensland and ACT northern territory, Victoria and Tasmania

Anna Tommy - Big ToeAfter completing the Grape Art, we had a lovely lunch and headed to visit Anna.Still with our crew, we signed the log as QANVT.Thanks for placing these caches for us to enjoy.# 10005CheersWillis007

Signed as part of QANVT, super stoked to be on this mission with this great group.I want to say thanks to the CO fit the placement of this cache series.It was a big drive from Corryong, in the North East of Victoria.I collected a couple of geo caches along the way to fill in some new LGAs. I have collected the south Australia souviner plus the leap year souviner too YAY!! It has been a big few days enjoying Adelaide and the surrounding areas. .So glad to be here

A Leap Year Mega drew us to Adelaide. Now that it is over, it's time for some good old group caching After a lunch break, it is off to meet Anna from the Anna Tommy series. I did enjoy doing these puzzles. Learn something every day as a geocacher!We are using the Acronym QANVT to cover participant from all states.And so happily I say that the logs were signed and caches replaced as found on this day, 1st March 2024. TFTC, addersbear. I loved being out in the bush.

Im visiting Adelaide for the first time, here for the Mega which is also my first, with Willis007. Today we did a group find of the Barossa geoart and then after lunch in Tanunda, found Anna Tommy, signed under the name QANVT. Tftc

Attended the Leap Year event in Adelaide yesterday and today was the day set aside to visit the Barossa region to collect the grape geoart, visit Anna Tommy and also a few other interesting caches along the way. Our caching group for the day was Team QANVT.Thanks to all the COs whose caches we visited today and showing us around this lovely region.

Joined the QANVT group to cache around the Barossa area and beyond - searching for geoart as well as nearby other caches. I appreciate the time and effort the many CO's have put into placing and maintaining these caches.

Joined the expedition to the Barossa today with Contesta, Cybergranny and Icybeetas in the car and joined up with others covering all the eastern states plus NT. Signing caches as QANVT standing for Queensland, ACT, NSW and NT, Victoria and Tasmania. Great company and great fun and some great caching for the day. Started with the Barossa geoart and collected a few other local caches on the way. Moved on now to the Anna Tommy geoart with a slightly smaller group of people, after a fabulous treat at the Tanunda bakery. Tftc addersbear

After attending an early morning event in Walkerville I headed out as part of Team QANVT to attack the Barossa Geo Art series a spot of lunch at Tununda bakery and off to attack the Anna Tommy seriesHad a lot of help with this series so wont be much help to anyone on the mysteries of the solving techniques.This is the first time Ive completed a piece of art as part of a team, a lot of fun and a great crew of people.A big thanks to the cache owner for making this series available to be found.Cheers

The Leap Day MEGA drew me here to this lovely State, and gave many of us the opportunity of completing the GeoArt trails Id solved months ago in preparation.Participating with the QANVT team we had 4 different States in our car. Thanks to Contesta, our wonderful chauffeur from ACT, plus barb2E representing Queensland, icybeetas from Tasmania and Cybergran V from Victoria, we had a wonderful trip today.All caches logged as QANVT.Thanks for the mammoth effort of placing and maintaining these GeoArt caches.And thanks also for anatomical education I received in the process of solving these.

Find # 11854Well here it is, time for another MEGA, and an extra special one to. Its a leap year! So before the main event I decided Id head down to Millicent and surrounds to collect some geoart, and some of the all important (to me) SFE challenges Day 7 and another not so hot day today. Today is an out and about around Gawler day, mainly for some geoart with puzzles long ago solved in anticipation of the mega time.Quite a group today, a convoy even, so lots of laughs and fun time that these caching events bring. Signing as QANVT as representative of the States and Territories here today.Finished off the Barossa series, then Anna Tommy, then the Unicorn.Thanks opted-out user for Anna Tommy - Big Toe

Plans were made to attend the SA mega although our plans changed as both of our team couldn't go due to other commitments. So with that being sorted we booked everything and only made it a short visit to SA this time. Flew into SA this morning with Rapidlywild and being neither one of us is a fan of city caching we headed out to do this Anna Tommy series that we have had solved for quiet awhile now. Feeling back at home on the dirt roads although a bit of a rougher ride not being in a 4WD but our hire car still did the trick. All caches were found safe and sound unless mentioned and all logs were stamped. Thanks for the puzzle series and hides addersbear and thanks for a fun short stint away caching Rapidlywild.

Plans were in place with FurfacesLL #1 to attend the SA single day mega. So bookings for flights, accommodation and car hire were made and off we went. Flew in this morning and our first target for today was the Anna Tommy series. Have had this series solved for quite a while now, however we never seem to be in this area to do them. We made sure that changed today.We made our way around the dirt roads, getting our hire car very dirty, but hey, its SA, plenty of dirt roads. We enjoyed collecting each cache and kept an eye out for the info we needed for the final. All logs were stamped with the FFLL & RWLD stamp as we went.Thanks for the puzzle series and cache placements addersbear and thanks to FFLL for another awesome couple days of caching away from home. Looking forward to the next trip.

Anna Tommy - Big Toe4.0/2.0 Small Mystery Cache Back in Adelaide after 14 years. Here for The Great Leap Forward Mega and catching up with awesome caching friends and revisiting Adelaide where we lived for 16 beautiful years! Had a wonderful time reminiscing and admiring wonderful changes in the State, meeting friendly cachers and helpful COs and finding quality caches.Thank you for the cache addersbear.

Solving this series has been an ongoing process for many months.Lots of late nights, anatomy that I dont think we will ever remember after this, and sometimes a little frustration. In the end, we had most of them solved, and so we were able to then JetSki a couple of solves that remained elusive to us. A great day out with E Smiley. Thanks Domsky

It is with regret to hear Anna was blown apart at the annual puff pastry cook off. It is speculated the puff was tampered with by an envious co-cooker hell bent on making Annas last years win, her last.With the constabulary arresting the puff criminal, our ghoulish task to retrieve Annas various body parts and reassemble at a secret locality for planting.The BOLD07 encountered Annas protective detail which included concentrations of bees (native and European), woolly bleaters set to ambush the car from a shady nook, irate land folk with a distrust of city slickers and a couple of hares hanging loose in the paddock. All of concern individually but terrifying when combined.The body parts when combined made a very unusual person. So the following gives an insight into the real Anna T:- Anna had a Morton's toe Many thanks to addersbear for bringing Anna back together.

GC8G66C Anna Tommy - Big ToeDown in Adelaide from Brisbane for the leap year mega. After arriving today we headed north east to our accommodation in Waikerie grabbing caches along the way.One of our team was fantastic at solving these I think I only added 1 or 2 to the total. A great piece of Geo art and a nice final. Signed as BOLD 7 to save space in the log. TFTC opted-out user

Continuing with the South Australian caching tour and the mad collection of caches in the state. There is so much to do and in such close proximity. Today it was leaving Adelaide and venturing north through Gamber and then a little east to grab caches in Waikerie to start the onslaught on the bike series of caches and locals. There is always time for one more cache and that seemed to be the theme for the road trip today. We left the airport and started our trip. Some great variety of caches today and some fun along the way. We got to see a huge moon a rising with some awesome pics. Thanks to all the COs for the hides and caches we found today, awesome caches. Caches were signed BOLD 7 It was fun doing this series of caches, it was hot and the vegetation was harsh on the skin. If you are not bleed you are not caching hard enough. Thanks for the series

How very exciting the big trip has finally arrived! Down from Brisbane with a host of other geo friends with plans aplenty, enough to almost see us needing to extend or make a return visit. Our geonick for the trip is BOLD7 which is guaranteed to save the log paper for the 7 individual members of the team. As we make our way around sadly there wont be time for the usual individual logs and therefore just the old generic log will have to do. With little extra notes here and there if needed. Thank you for your cache which has added to my wonderful caching holiday.

With our group BOLD7 entertaining ourselves as we head north to explore the country. Fab day collecting all sorts including some well preserved oldies. Thanks to the SA cachers for awesome variety of caches.

Up in Gawler on a beautiful sunny day for the Anna Tommy serie. Thanks for hiding and maintaining this cache.Logged with BOLD7

With some free time before the busy festive period, combined with todays good weather, I decided to head out for a day of caching. The plan was to head out to Two Wells, to target a couple of specific caches, before making my way towards Gawler to attempt some of the Anna Tommy series and a few other surrounding caches. When this series was published, I immediately set about to solving all of the relevant puzzles. Since then, the cache finals have sat in GSAK, and my GPS, just waiting for the day I decided to go out and find them. Having found the caches I was after in and around Two Wells, I began my efforts on this series. This took longer for me to work through than I was initially expecting. As the afternoon wore on, I realised I was not going to be able to complete the series today. With this in mind, I decided to leave the rest of these caches for another day when I could come back and finish them off; and made my way into Gawler to go after a few other specific caches before going home. All caches were found in decent condition; however, they do seem to be very slowly succumbing to the elements and could eventually do with some TLC.Find #8208, at 03:29 pmTFTC

This was an interesting set of puzzles. While many of the parts of the body were known by name, their exact location was not as well known. So relating the body part to a particular number from the diagrams was a worthwhile exercise.

These puzzles were solved some time ago but until today, we have not had the opportunity to look for the caches. After visiting Hamley Bridge earlier in the morning, we focussed on the Anna Tommy series for the remainder of the day. We were fortunate to find all the caches in the series except the bonus cache (we could only find five of the six pieces of required data and it was too late in the day to guess the missing values and check each of the locations). The soursobs hindered searching at times but at least they were dry and we remained dry as well.

Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in reasonable condition. Thanks addersbear for the cache, the series and interesting puzzles.

Such a cool series - interesting theme, fun to work out the coords, and a fun drive along the backroads here. All caches found in the series, however some took more than 5 mins due to very thick soursobs - sometimes i was standing over the cache but still unable to see it. Coords were accurate too.
Thanks for a great series!

Southern Autumn adventure Day 48. Mid North section of SA trip Day 19. Gawler Day 7. Today was a mixed day starting with some more Anna Tommy caches that were difficult to solve, but fun to find. Next was a set of Unicorn caches. The area was still quiet, even though it was now a weekday, and I found the ones I targeted without any problems. I then i wanted to get back on the NEXY bike trail with my scooter, so I selected a set of them to do from Bolivar. It did not go as smoothly as I had hoped, but I made it back to the car without having to walk. After fueling up I headed back to Gawler.

Thanks for the cache addersbear

Nice Series this one. Learnt heaps in the solving of the puzzles. Think I could become a doctor by the training I got on this series. Anyone needing a small procedure done? I'm ready to put into practice what I learnt.

Great set of cache containers, all in good condition and a lot of thought and time gone into these caches.

Quick find and signed the log.

Up from Adelaide again, hoping to finish off the Anna Tommy series and pick up one or two other caches around the place too.
It’s going to be a bloody hot one so in for an early start to get in before the heat of the day hits.
A quick find, sign and return.
TFTC

I solved the puzzles in this trail last year so it is time I ventured out to find them.
I finished work and made the journey North. I didn’t have time to complete all of them so I will return another day when I have more time.

Thanks for the cache addersbear.

As there had been serious rain we have decided to have a couple of nights in Gawler.
The weather is still very overcast but we decided to venture out & do some of the Anna Tommy series.
To start with the GPS took us on a large tour before getting onto the right road, ( why does it do that)
Missed a couple because of very boggy roads which we avoided. Most of the others took a small amount of hunting to find.
Great series, & geoart.
Thanks for placing this cache.

Glad it's winter and I have a thick Woolen jacket to protect me. Nice cache. Easy to see once you get there. TFTC

Day sixteen of our short South Australian trip with BettyBoo3747 and the geo-doggies.
With a crappy forecast we set off to Gawler to do the Anna Tommy series and some shopping.
The morning wasn't too bad, but we still got soaked shoes and pants due to the long very wet grass and Oxalis. This combination also made the finding difficult.
Enjoyed solving the puzzles, they were interesting.
The roads were mostly in good condition but fairly busy today.
A nice collection of caches.
Thanks, Robmc.

#19308. Day 16 of our Vic/SA trip with Robmc the geodogs and our bicycles. Our 2nd day staying in Tanunda (and already we have extended our 3 night stay to 5). With a wet forecast for the day we decided caching by car was preferable to caching by bike and I think that was the right choice.

We enjoyed solving the puzzles before leaving home - interesting subject matter, but time consuming too. Loved that the final placement also provided geoart - very clever.

I certainly think we earned these 4D caches but not sure what has been the hardest, the solving of the puzzles or the finding of the caches - probably the finding of the caches actually. At this time of year calf-high, wet oxalis is NOT a cacher's friend. We were soaked through by the time we had spent 3 hours on the hunt.

A few need a maintenance check and I have made notes on each of those.

Thanks addersbear

After working the weekend we have a day free to find the odd cache or two, caching solo today had us picking up the odd cache or two, after visiting MunoPara we had a couple of hours left in the day, swung past Gawler for a couple of caches before setting our sights on finishing this fantastic adventure, all caches were found today, and the bonus to finish off the day was well worth the ending of this series

Have done the scientific research of this series with the Waldos.Thank you. This is No 12

Leahry101 set us the challenge on this one – find AnnaTommy. Spent many hours pondering the puzzle, then the light came on. Once we were on the right track we learnt about human anatomy and the bits of the body unfolded. This series is a real credit to the creators – the addersbear team. What a fantastic effort.

Out near Gawler today targeting the Anna Tommy series. Had a bit of trouble working out the puzzle as we haven’t done too many, but after a PAF, we understood what we were doing and worked them all out.

All caches are hidden pretty well and in good condition today. Thanks for placing and looking after this series Addersbear, TFTC.

After solving and completing majority of this series last year I still had 4 left on my to find list, back today and the caches were easily found but Skin is in need of fixing up as it was found all over the place on the ground

Today I headed north to Angle Vale/Gawler area to clean up the remaining caches I had left to find in the area, despite the car saying it was 43 degrees majority of the day the car was nice and cool. Total of 23 finds.

Thanks for the cache

Merry Christmas Addersbear!!

TFTC and series!

A quick find after working out the co/ords and getting a few clues along the way.Thanks to all involved in placing this series.One of the best series we have completed a favourite for all of them.TFTC

Well where do I start with this series? Was it the creepy dolls in he background? Or searching everywhere but the right place for a list? Or maybe it was the reference to 1810 which preceded European settlement in South Australia by 26 years? In regards to the latter I am now much more knowledgeable about the practice of grave robbery, the work of Nikolay Ivanovich Pirogov and the Anatomy Act of 1832. None of this was useful though. When the right location was finally found, most of this series was solved easily, whereas others were a bit harder to pin down.

I had grabbed a dozen of these caches a few months back at the start of winter when the grass was green and did a good job of obscuring the lower placed caches. Today, the grass was dry which made the search for many quite a bit simpler and all other caches in the series (apart from the final Anna Tommy were collected). Not many passing motorists about today although a few farmers were using their Saturday afternoon to rake hay. TFTC.

After saving this series for an appropriate time, today was the day .
We quickly found the majority of caches, a few ended up being hidden very well by either new growth, or wind having helped with the camo .
TNLNSL.
Thanks Addersbear (see 'Temple' for main log).

Thanks AddersBear for this cache and series. I had a gentle nudge to get me started and decided to name all the parts. Bad move, it did take a long time, but I did learn a lot. I used the solved templates to solve the puzzles and plot their locations. Today I cycled parts of the Nexy to collect the puzzle caches there, then onto this series. I ran out of light today so plan to be back tomorrow to finish them.

Great container on this one, FP4U

Only 19 more finds to be found in this fun series
Today, on the sunny and mild Friday the 24th of July, i went to go finish this series off
All clues are being noted and so far all caches that i've found have been in great order
Admittedly i was helped a bit re: getting the 'needed info' to be found in order to solve the puzzles

I had set about solving several of these puzzles when they were first published. Spent way to long on one particular body part that was never going to be correct, fortunately the CO/s rectified the error... phew!
Thank you for a puzzle I could actually solve. I was stoked to work it out for myself

A day of caching with hevwalker was on the cards and this series was the target. Both of us set about solving the rest of the body parts. Unlike any surgical operation... there was no precision used as we fumbled our way through the anatomy of Anna Tommy
All caches were found in good condition (unless duly noted by hevwalker - keeper of notes). Relevant info was noted as we sliced & diced our way through this series.

There was a bit of ouch here!!!

LiB & I decided on Friday night we would go out North to find the Anna Tommy Series of caches this Sunday so we sat up until the early morning solving them...
Grabbed some breakfast then headed out...the day was pleasant to begin with but turned chilly towards the end...
The containers were easily located and the clues obtained from the marked ones for the final destination...
WoW!!! who would have thought these roads would be so busy with traffic...even on the smaller ones...
TFTC & the series addersbear

So after 28 days of quarantine after I arrived back in Australia from the UK it was definitely time for a big caching day out.
Spent a while in hotel quarantine solving the newish Anna Tommy series so this seemed like the perfect group of caches to head to today. Added in a few trads to make for a full day of caching.
In the end found 55 caches and 2 dnf for the day. After doing not much for a month I was cream crackered by the end of the day.
It was a glorious day for caching, perfect winter day with sunshine and blue skies.
If I am honest I preferred solving the puzzles in comparison to the finds. The containers were a great size but found the clambering amongst bushes and under trees to be a lot of hard work. A lot of sour sobs, barbed wire, hidden wire fences, broken glass etc. But massively appreciated the time and effort the COs have gone to in placing this series, creating the puzzles, placing and maintaining the caches. Hopefully the wire cables will ensure there is no cache wander although at least 2 were no longer attached to their hosts. Obligatory blood ensued today.
TFTC and series and for keeping me busy whilst in quarantine.

Found during a caching trip with e.gregory1 for the day. The main aim was to complete the Anna Tommy puzzle series but we extended our foray to find a number of other caches around the Gawler area. It was a great day for caching, the weather cool and cloudy, and we managed to dodge the showers. Also chatted to a couple of friendly farmers along the way. Thanks for the puzzle and cache addersbear!

This cache was found on a trip to the Gawler area with FeatherWaite today. Our main aim was to complete the ‘Anna Tommy’ puzzle series, but we also took the opportunity to target some other selected puzzles and multi caches, and grabbed a few traditionals that we passed along the way.

We had a good day weather wise. Despite the threat of rain, it held off all day for us. We were a bit surprised at just how busy some of the back roads were, with a constant stream of passing traffic. A couple of local farmers also stopped for a chat and to see what we were up to. Apparently there has been quite a lot of theft and illegal dumping out this way of late.

I quite enjoyed this series. While most of the puzzles were reasonably straightforward, I found a few a bit more tricky. Likewise the hides - most were found very quickly but some took a bit more searching. The caches were all in reasonably good condition although a few had water in the outside containers. However the inner container and logbooks were fine. I appreciated the work that had been put into the cache containers including the decoration, use of the inner containers and securing them to prevent cache-creep.

All in all it was a very productive and enjoyable day out with around 60 finds in total and no DNFs.

Thanks addersbear for the puzzle and the cache.

Early morning just after midnight. Full moon. Howling in the distance.

An ideal setting to collect a big toe tonight

Stay away from smelly humans and their nasty germs
