TFTC enjoyed finding it on a beautiful sunny day.

Finally found the right spot,TFTC

Dropped my car off for a service and had time for a little caching with my trusty offsider. Simple but effective hide found at 13:47 thank you for the cache placement and maintenance aprikot

A nice stroll along the creek with my good friend GumAko, tftc.

Quick find with Bushnik.TFTC

Caching spree with Cccl23TFTC

After attending the nearby C.I.T.O. event, I grabbed a few caches around Mawson Lakes. Found this one while picking up rubbish. I have tried and failed at this one before. Glad to have a find here today. Thank you aprikot, for placing Potions 101: Felix Felicis for the geocaching community.# # #15177 # #

Came back for another try! Happy to report we found it

quick and easy find. as a few people have mentioned, the cache is not very watertight anymore due to the cache case being damn. fun cache nevertheless, thanks!

Found it, not water tight, took flower, left coin

Phew-ee!!! Why is there there a stinky bag of poop and baby wipes next to the cache. Log is nearly gone also. Needs maintenance plz

TFTC. Found some time to grab a few caches on a quick trip to Adelaide!Happy caching and safe travels!

Container is squashed and no longer watertight

*Nice find with woolwood9 today.* Thanks for putting this cache out for us to visit. SL *tm/ww NZ*Soon located, but really needs replacing.

Over to attend the Great Leap Forward Mega Event with tmann421.Have done a few km collecting caches and have enjoyed the tour aroundThanks to all the cache owners for their efforts in placing and maintaining these for us to findSigned log *tm/ww NZ*As previous people have said this cache requires attention

Quicker to find the cache than a place to park. TFTC

Found with vk7hch on our way around the city towards dinner. Cache maintenance needed. Thanks for the find

Out and about with sir_spectre grabbing a few caches might distract us when we are close to the upcoming Mega.Thanks to aprikot from mogni

well i got the cache out of it's spot. the metal tin is a little worse for wear thou. Another one in this series down. Found with Mogni. Today started with a CITO event in Mawson lakes and then moving on to completing a couple of adventure labs and then on to the target area for the day. That area was the general area around the Mega site and the nearby mega CITO site. It was just slowly clearing the solved puzzles, trads and solving/finding the multi's. A early finish to caching saw only 40 + finds for the day even if we had a few DNF's. At least that area is thinned of unfound caches and lab stages, hopefully we will have some spare time to finish the area off before the mega.

Phone was a bit laggy, so we're unsure of coordinates, need to come back another day.

Walking around Mawson Lakes trying to put pen to paper. Had problems here because the container is wedged way way in. Others have previously reported the same problem. Im taking a find, though I feel a little uneasy about it. TFTC.

Looks a dangerous for the wet weather

As others have said, wedged in too far

Found it -may need maintenance because it is wedged in too tight

Found but unable to write the log

Too much debris and dead leaves on the ground- I’m worried it might be buried out of view. I dug around for a while but to no avail.

On a night walk and didn’t sign the log as the night security spiders all came running out to see what all the commotion was about when trying to retrieve it…..

Tricky one but found it! Wish we brought pens

Looked all over but no luck

Thanks

This cache has been wedged very tightly into its rocky hiding place, dispute my best efforts I could not retrieve it.

Found it but it is rusty shut and I couldn't get it open to write in the log

Quick find TFTC

Up down, round and round then it was found TFTC

All the insects are out today, but we persisted and found it. TFTC

Thank you for a great caching experiance. TFTC.

Breakfast at The Watershed with a beautiful, muggle , friend whom later helped me find some caches.

Our luck worked

TFTC Keep smiling

I thought this was one of the easier ones! TFTC.

We came to Mawson Lakes for a wander today to get some much needed exercise Having parked the car, we planned out a nice circle with a few caches along the route. In all, we managed to find seven, with this the last of the four Potion 101 caches. A relatively easy find of an unusually large cache in a busy looking location TNLNSL TFTC

I had to do some scrambling to make the find here, ably assisted by Carol and CPwanderer.

Didn't need the liquid luck today to find it. Thanks aprikot.

No luck even after a Geo-friend directed me where to look. My hands went into lots of scary places.

Easy find

TFTC

Nice cache!!!

Staying in Gawler Gateway for a bit. Today we headed out to Dry Creek to pick up a part for the caravan.
Managed to convert a few solved puzzles and caches in the area to smilies.

TFTC aprikot

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Tried this one when it was first published but it turns out that the cache was missing when I first visited.
Today I was in the area for work and as it was lunchtime, I thought that a small detour in to make the find and complete the series was in order. Parked nearby and once again wandered to GZ. Started a search and found the cache. Stamped the log and replaced. Please be careful at GZ. Series done.
Gratias pro cache Aprikot

Once we approached it from the right side this was easy to find. Since replaced it is larger than a micro. Difficult to keep it secret from muggles but we managed. Left some trinkets for future finders. Great condition, dry and plenty of pages. Watch the wind doesn’t grab and fly off with them .. I was amused watching the king kids chase after every one of them. TFTC

Out with Northstar76, to get our first one for the day.

Need to found one for today. Found with superman_22

I think I need some of this potion before attempting Hunting Ryan again [:o)]

Quick trip to town with Purrfect Di and Jack.
