Reperio 15:45Day 4 of our weekend getaway to Yass for a caching run, and after getting a better night sleep, we were up again early to hit the trails. We managed to fit in around 100 caches before having to head for home in Orange, but we had a fantastic 3 and a half days away non stop caching.

**Found Monday 15-January-2024 at 16:28 Smiley #2306**Wow, I have slowly just been finding caches, signing logs, logging drafts and simply forgetting about these and never actually logging them. My sincerest apologies to the relevant CO's, especially if I found issues with them and didn't do anything about them.Unfortunately my drafts were also designed to jog my memory about the cache to assist with the logging process. Doesn't work when some of them are over 2 years old. Here comes some generic comments. Once again, I apologise Rogersclan big Christmas trip away Canberra this time was the destination. At least these logs are only 2 odd months old. Good condition easy find Cache logs are either stamped, signed with Rogersclan13 or just RC13 for space. Thanks for the cache **DARKSIDEDAN** Rogersclan13

Tftc. Quick park and grab.

Nice find

Catching up on saved drafts, From memory this cache was all in good working condition. Thanks heaps for the find!

Great find. MAINTENANCE NEEDED. Cache Log Book - FullEasy to find and was very quick. We had some leftover paper in the car so added some to the cache, so other can continue to add their name. But this cache will need to have a new log book added so that it gets repaired.

Found it with 46x

With dot 558 finally getting some smiles todayThankyou

Found with Sophiescout and Jemalong and family. Log is full. TFTC

Found quickly on our drive through Boorowa. TFTC

Well I won't say quick find for us. Hubby had rookie search but finally found it. TFTC

Well guarded. Where's the turtle?

We searched, we found, we bugged. TFTC

Another quick find on my way to Dubbo.

After doing the Adventure Lab caches in town, but having had no joy with the mystery cache here, finding this easy trad on the way out of town put happy smiles on icybeetas and my faces, as well as our maps.
Thanks Darksidedan. Wonder how long it will be before we get to sign another of your cache logs.

Found this one today while doing a drive from Orange to Canberra. TfTC

Well worth the drive up to Boorowa through the early morning fog. Claimed a variety of caches followed by a nice coffee. All attempted were found and in good condition. Thanks for placing and maintaining these caches DSD.

Found on another typical Winter day.
Another of this series ticked off the list.
Thanks for the cache DARKSIDEDAN,

This cache was quickly found at GZ and is in very good condition.

Thanks, DSD!

Lovely weather, quick find. TFTC DARKSIDEDAN.

Loverly and warm in the car, so good to get a run of caches. TFTC

Very hard we don’t know if it has been moved but awesome ride we had fun doing this thanks to dark for hiding this gem

Left Yass early for a mini road trip to Cowra so allrounder could do Parkrun. We decided to spend a few hours picking up some caches after she finished. Plenty of caches in the area so we will have to return to get some more.

16th and final find of the day. Heading home we decided to stop for any quick finds on the way through Boorowa without too much detour. This was an easy stop and grab.

Found @ 2:15pm with hccatcher11415

A quick find to finish the day

Thanks DARKSIDEDAN

This was the 16th and final find of 17 attempted today

Other cache found whilst visiting grandparents over Easter!!
Walked past a few times, before we retraced our steps.

Just picking up a few caches along route today while on the road with ilook4geo. This was one of the randomly selected list. No problem here and two more names were stamped on the log to record our visit. Thank you to DARKSIDEDAN for the cache.

Found this cache together with goingplaces2 and soon put both names on the log. All was in good condition and was replaced as found. TFTC.

It is a lovely day for a drive and some caching. We enjoyed seeing more of Boorowa than just driving though. Thanks for the caches.

Out for a day to pick up some caches in Boorowa. We had a great time touring abound the town. Thanks DARKSIDEDAN.

No today. TFTC

Heading to Cowra for a motel for the night but had to find one in Boorowa,never been here before.TFTC

Our epees were ready to garde this cache but it was unnecessary as the cache was safely ensconced in its turtle nest. Tftc

Thanks. Found after work.

Well it's been a while since the last find in Darwin in October 2022, geez it's been that long! Was stoked to cut some time out of a coffee and on through visit to Boorowa with your park and cache hide Darksidedan. Was great to get back into the swing of things.
Thanks and cheers

#3464 Back in Boorowa for a day trip and made the most of the time picking up some of the newer caches. A quick roadside retrieval on this one. TFTC.

Found. SL. TFTC

Molong to Canberra, stopping for very few finds along the way.
Believe that this is a new LGA for me, or possibly the second one in a LGA


Thank you DD for this one

Thank you, DARKSIDEDAN, for placing this cache for our enjoyment.

We're heading south again after some fun and games in Queensland and picking up a few caches here and there for N.S.W. LGA's. Amusingly as I made my way to GZ, a truck went past with "Turtle Landscape Supplies" written across the side.

Thanks for find #4034

**Today:**

Myself and sebass19 decided to head out to the "Hilltops" LGA to find some Sausages, Turtles, Frogs and a sleuth of other caches! We did a maintenance run for DSD's caches whilst we were at it too, tying up a few loose ends and making sure they were in good nick!

Ended up with 50 finds for the day, rare to get that many for a 'local' day out, although we did rack up a fair distance from home!

TFTC DSD

Nice spot by the river in Boorawa.
Thanks to DSD.

Travelling from Perth to Canberra with lots of side tracks.TFTC.

Quick find with SJG66, on cold winter's day. TFTC

The FFLL ladies had decided they wanted to go on a little tiki tour around Cowra and reached out with an invite, yes please It was a cold day however the rain held off and we were able to achieve our target area and managed to clean up again for a while. We completed 2 labs and a heap of trads and assorted caches which included an unexpected FTF.

A nice easy find here, signed and replaced as found.

Thanks for the hides DARKSIDEDAN And thanks to the FFLL ladies for a fun day out and about around Cowra [^].

We decided that it was time to go on a day trip to Cowra to look for some of the new caches that had popped up in the area since we were last there. Texted Rapidlywild to see if she was interested in joining us on for the journey. It was a pretty cold day with the winds but thankfully no rain which was a bonus. No DNF's for us today which was a great and all caches were found pretty quickly and we managed to get all of the caches we targeted with a couple of labs thrown in for good measure.

Collected all these ones on our journey to Cowra.

Quick find here signed and were on our way again.

Thanks for the hide DARKSIDEDAN and thanks for a good day out Rapidlywild.

Today we decide to take another loop out from Harden via Galong to Boorowra. It was still bitterly cold with the wind adding to the chill factor, but thankfully only a few short but light rain showers.
We enjoyed the rolling hills and speculated as to what crops had been planted.
A mixture of traditional, a number of letterboxes and a couple of multis all finishing with a Lab in Boorowra..
A few DNFs but mostly straightforward finds.

Thank you for your efforts in creating and maintaining the cache DARKSIDEDAN.

What a lovely little town. Given this one a favourite TFTC

fitzy_1965 and I made a last minute decision to head out for a bit of caching today.

Off to the Yass region to help fitzy fill in a calendar date. We are able to find the ones that we targeted and all found quickly and easily.

Thanks DSD.

28,117. Found with minniek during a Sunday afternoon run to fill in a Calendar day for me.

With so many caches up around this area, we decided to do another afternoon run to fill in a day for me. Whether it be an Australian Animal, a Lizard, a Snake, a Frog or a Turtle, we were happy to stop for the find ! We really appreciate the series that Darksidedan puts out, as they help us and many other Cachers with their various challenges. All the caches were found without issue, unless otherwise stated. This was a nice quick find once at GZ. Stamped the log, replaced the cache as found, then turned around and headed home.

Thanks DSD !!

Found while in Boorowa for the day

A quick find, on my way back to Canberra, after three weeks away. TFTC DARKSIDEDAN.

Nice hiding place
Thanks for the cache

Finally catching up on my back-logging*

The second day of our trip to Merimbula to visit my families and hometowns from Brisbane.
Off we left from Forbes, next stop Boorowa!
I have vivid memories of the dinner plate turtles from when I was a kid.
A beautiful spot right here. TFTC!

Quick find after setting up for the night.

Wow, busy road this one.

Travelling through on a mini road trip from the coast to Cowra. I tried another cache in town but after no luck tried for this one of my way out.

Finally spotted after I was about to give up. Just had to wait for the right time to grab. Thanks for the hide.
