Caching around Yass today. Quick find. This will need a new log soon. TFTC DARKSIDEDAN.

Reperio 09:05Day 6 of our NSW south eastern caching tour, and Master Vitruvius and I today travelled from just outside of the ACT to home in Orange. With a number of caches left to do around Murrumbateman and Yass, we stopped by a few in this area before taking an extended route back home to Orange. Our final day was another fantastic day of caching, with very few caches that went unfound. Gratias DARKSIDEDANAs a well spent day brings happy sleep, a well spent life brings happy death - LDV

I'm on my way home from camp and I decided on finding some caches along the way. This was one of those I found today and a big thanks to the CO for adding it to the game. TFTC

This was my son's first find!! Thanks.

Decided we were going to head to the three events in Yass today so sent a message out to Rapidlywild and ALL7 to see if they wanted to join us and make a day of it. Nice day for it although a little warm at times. Picked up a few caches today before, during and after the event. All caches were found in good order that we attempted. Thanks for the hide DARKSIDEDAN, thanks to ALL7 and Rapidlywild who made it a fun day out and about.

Received an invite from the FFLL ladies to join them and ALL7 for a trip out to Yass for a CITO, Event and what ever else crossed our paths. It was a nice day out and the weather was wonderful, fun was had by all.No issues locating this one for a quick sign and off we went.Thanks for the cache placement DSD and thanks for the fun day out ladies.

A simple hide, sometimes that is a good thing, like today, thanks.

Nice and easy

Sun is out and caches a plenty. Thanks

Good find . Kids are loving this

Just out about to catch up geocaching quick find placed back where it belong TFTC

We headed to Canberra for a few day, then Goulburn and Yass on the way home.
As the weather wasn't great, we only grabbed a few caches along the way.
Unless otherwise stated - all good here. Signed and replaced.
Many thanks for placing this cache, DARKSIDEDAN, for us and others to find.

Found on the way home from the Rutherglen mega. Couple of quick caches in Yass before going to the Macca's event in Canberra at 5pm. Quick find here. TFTC DSD!

Find No: 9027. Visiting from Newcastle, heading home from the Rutherglen Mega, enjoying the multitude of caches in the area, thanks for the cache DARKSIDEDAN!!

Was able to stop and pin a few down along this stretch of road this afternoon. TFTC!

#3679 Seeing that this cache was on the wrong side of the road for my trip out of town, I stopped by on my return trip. Quickly located and logged. Thanks for this hide.

My geoDog and I drive to NSW Country for fun day... tks

Cache 9632 on 4 Feb 2023.

I have set a goal for myself - making my 10,000th cache the Rutherglen mega event, quite tricky because I am currently 380 caches away from it, it is only 2.5 months away, and I am away for 10 days in the middle of March! So today, SpecimenX and I headed out to Yass to knock off a few caches which I have been meaning to grab for a while.

Ended up finding most of the “stick” series and quite a few others along the way. The series took a fair bit longer than anticipated as some of them were tricky to find, and we had difficulty getting the caches out of some of the tight spots, but we found all but two of the ones we attempted. Reckon the pit stop at Clementines on the way helped! We had numerous drivers stop and check we were okay, which was encouraging! A fun few hours with quality caches and lots of laughs!

Unless otherwise indicated, the finds did not take too long, the cache was extracted in reasonable time and any hints were accurate!

Thanks DARKSIDEDAN for the cache and the fun!

Teamed up with AngelG27 for another geomission around the back roads near Yass. She was on a mission to get some numbers up so happy to join in on that action!

Quick find for us here.

Thanks for the hide, DARKSIDEDAN

Monday had come around and I was collected by Barb2e with Smitten Granny for a trip out to some caches between Gunning and Yass. There was plenty of rain around but we managed to find the caches we planned to get to without getting too wet. The most challenging was the first cache, a multi with a tree climb. We skipped over another tree climb due to weather. We had a great morning and ended with a great morning tea before heading back to town for the rest of the days activities.

This was our last cache for the morning, and the rain had picked up so I am glad it was another nice simple one.

Thanks for the cache DARKSIDEDAN

Out for the morning with Smittengranny and Albida33. Quick find. Tftc

Today Albida33, Barb2e and I headed out again on a mission to collect about 10 caches each. We left Canberra and headed towards Yass where we turned NE so that we could be on the correct side of the road to gather these next lot of caches on our return trip. Luckily we managed to find caches between the showers that looked as if they might spoil our day.

But nothing could spoil what has become our ritual morning tea in Yass.
All these caches were found to be in good condition and logs were signed before the caches were replaced in their hidey holes.

TFTC DSD

After a great event last night the weather was turning and I considered driving home, but hey I drove all the way out here, might as well stay the night and see how this morning was going to be. It certainly started of wet, but still doable for caching. Made my way from Goulburn to Yass via a lot of detours.

A trip to check out some of the awesome places in NSW & ACT and grab some old caches. TFTC.
Nice quick find.

When we first moved into our house nearly sixty years ago there were arum lilies growing in the garden, and we also had frogs. Sadly neither are there now.
But on a happier note feathertop and I both have our names in this easily accessed cache.

The afternoon was spent south of Yass. Some Yass Valley Hwy caches and then some Dog trap Rd caches as the road was bitumen, important in these flood ravaged times, though beware of potholes! An afternoon of animals, frogs, sausages and dragonstones.
Logging with Cybergran on Day 3 of our Yass and environs adventure.
Thanks DarksideDan

Headed out with fitzy_1965 and Death_Killer for a bit of afternoon caching.

We thought that the skies would be clear for a bit (OK we saw the storm rolling in and thought it must be clear on the other side) so headed out Gunning way to see what we could find.

Yes we drove through the storm, and it was clear on the other side....for a bit.

Surprisingly we ended up in Yass. All caches were found quickly and easily.

28,627. Found with minniek and Death_Killer on a rainy Saturday afternoon.

We were sitting at home after our morning chores were complete, when I looked at the map to see if there was anything interesting to do within range. Seeing anis interesting D/T Letterbox Hybrid still hadn't been found, we loaded up a couple of Geocaching Tools and hit the highway. Once that one was knocked off, we targeted a few more in the region. This was the next one. Nice quick find at GZ. Stamped the log, replaced the cache as found, then continued on to the next one on our list.

Thanks DSD !!

Out on a caching trip with ilook4geo and finding a variety of caches while in the area for a short visit. All the caches and logs were in good order unless otherwise indicated. Thanks for this cache placement go to DARKSIDEDAN.

Came along with goingplaces2 to do some caching in the Yass area and enjoyed the finds that were made. No problems with any of these. TFTC.

In Yass once again today, decided to quickly stop by this one whilst the road was semi-quiet.

A quick find and sign before I was off again!

Thanks

#796 Was working out in Yass today and was short for time before heading home so stopped off here on the way to make a quick find. Plenty of people passing by in their cars which made stealth hard. Sometimes the hi vis work wear can be a useful disguise! Signed the log and was on my way. Thanks DSD

Found with Tankengine, dty73, and youban. Up in the area for a little caching and a few FTF opportunities with Tankengine, dty73 and Youban. We met up with AngelG27 and TikvaNZ early in the morning also out for the same idea so all continued on together. Lovely sunny day to be out along the trails, although a little chilly to start with earlier! Thanks for the cache!

Found with Youban, Aquilus1 and Tankengine on the way into find some lunch and pick up the ALs. Tftc.

Chooo ooo [found] with dty73 Aquilus1 and youban! - Nice find here! Thanks DARKSIDEDAN!

Out with friends Canberra friends.Quick find. Kutgw

Completed a bit of a circuit between Murrumbateman and Yass, mainly on roads less travelled. All attempted were found and generally in good condition. But the potholes on some of the roads were something to behold! Thankfully, full of water this morning, so easier to spot and avoid the worst of them. Thanks DSD for this massive effort in placing and maintaining these caches for our enjoyment.

Grabbed on my way into town to grab the ALs. Thanks,

On a nice winters day with a cold breeze in the air me and IamCoust did a geocaching run around Yass and Murrambateman, driving on quiet unsealed roads picking up parts of the snake and lizard series which dot the landscape out here. Most caches were easy to find so it was mainly a numbers game which was both pleasing and tiring at the same time.
Some caches we considered very near peoples properties so it was a quick get in, get out before being spotted or interrogated. Overall a very enjoyable day. TFTC

An early start to a cool and windy day with Green-Martian tackling a few of the recently published caches out and around the Murrumbateman/Yass area. We targeted a mixture of finds, following a basic route weaving back and forth along the back country roads. Most finds came without issue but the odd one here and there presented a challenge in one way or another. In that regard, any interesting or specific details relating to the find are added to the end of log. Regardless, at the end of the day there were about 60 successful finds, 1 DNF and 1 other we were not well enough prepared to tackle.

As the morning went on the numbers grew, and so did the surrounding clouds. In the end, after a solid 6 hours of caching, as the rain began to fall, we called it quits for the day.

The land owner over the fence a 100m odd away was watching us. Hopefully he was focusing more on his bbq lunch though.

Thanks again GM for a great day out, and the CO’s for all their hard work and effort. TNLNSL TFTC

Quick detour and find on my way through to Young.

Cheers

A tour around Murrumbateman and Yass via the backroads to knock off a few caches. TFTC.

Another nice quick find and back on our way.

When the weather for today was predicted to be cold, windy with showers we decided to stay close to town and pick up some caches in the immediate area.
Some good hides and tough ones resulting in a couple of favourite awarded and a couple of DNFs was the result.

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

Yabba Dabba Doo *FTF* !

A number of new caches south of Yass had me contemplate an outing. Lots seemed easy street side grabs and after some more contemplation I started an hour after publish to give them a go.
All were indeed found easily and with great care at some I managed to find 6 of them and left the other 3 new ones in the area for someone else .

Nice quick find here too.

Thank you DARKSIDEDAN for putting the cache out and maintaining it.
