Clever

First find for the day. TFTC

Found in minutes. Very cleaver hiding container

Well that had us going for a bit!
Mr Riddells fine eye spotted something just not quite right.
On closer examination he found the treasure.
However, it didn’t end there.
The container would not yield its lid due to some suspected corrosion. Back to the car with it and host to gentle undo the lid.
TFTC another very sneaky one!

It was a big tree! Found the cache relatively quickly, TFTC!

OOo! Tricky but what a clever hiding spot! That was fun! Tftc!

Really tricky almost gave up had to move stuff around and whatch out for spikes

Channeling the mind set of the CO I initially thought this was going to take me forever... going with my geo instinct was working so far and surprisingly I locatedcthe cachevalot quicker than expected.

Find 2901
This one proved a quick find as I am not sure it was in a position in which it was designed for. Anyway we signed the log and replaced as found.
A favourite point added for your design work and craft.
Thanks lidogger

Found by David in company with pprass at 11:25. Mary and cprass took the day off to check out the local shops. A great hide, but it had been placed to make the evidence visible. We replaced it with a better orientation. Earns a FP. Our thanks to Lidogger.

Found at 11:26 AM GAFF1 in the company of maccamob.
Spotted the container as it was showing a distinctive "scar" which should not have been there
Thanks Lidogger.

Clever cache. Riding the new part of the rail trail.

Like these,tfth

Found by Rebel Acts

It had been awhile since we had been out caching with Latrobe area going back into lockdown for a week and Me spending six days in hospital. Richard of Ski pair offered to pick me up and take me out for a days caching as driving is a little hard on My current pain meds, the weather was great and we had a great day finding caches in the area.

This is one of the caches We found today. A quick find on this nice hide.

Thanks Lidogger for the cache.

This was another walk after finding an access point. No bikes with us and Rebel not able to ride at present anyway.
A well crafted cache.

It has been a while since we have neen able to get out caching. What with Covid lockdowns, then Mrs SKI breaking her ankle, and Rebel being out of action we have had quite a gap.
But today everything came together. The weather was lovely and everyone was available to head out.
We had noticed a number of new caches had popped up in the Leongatha area, so that added to a few high D/T rated caches in the area was enough to have us heading in that direction.
A successful day was had with only one DNF and as usual plenty of laughs and banter.
All logs either signed as SKI Pair or RASP (Rebel Acts & SKI Pair)

Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cacheLidogger.

Some of these caches were only published during this week. I was keeping an eye on them, hoping I could get over to get FTF earlier than today, but it just didn’t happen. Anyway we were here today and I felt I just HAD to find at least one in the series. This seemed to have parking nearby and indeed it it was found quickly in a fairly obvious spot, but the cache itself was wonderful! It has been beautifully hand made, feels great, and a clever mechanism to hold it all together.

Found 4 October, 2021
so excited to see new geocaches in our area on my last day of holidays. Had work to do but....plan for teaching tomorrow or get on the bike and go geocaching? No brainer really and so set out on my bike on the fabulous rail trail (not officially open as yet).
Of course it's a big tree - so beautiful and love that it is honoured with a geocache that is so beautifully constructed - a geocache befitting this tree.
Another fab Lidogger hide - love your craft.
Thanks kbucky

I was wondering who was going to be the first to start placing caches along this new section of the rail trail! Thanks Lidogger, this is a beautifully constructed cache Well done to Kbucky for FTF too. A favourite point from us ️
