A lot of trackables go missing during mega events. (I notice that there's still a lot left in the event).If there's left over ones anywhere, I'm happy to take them on my journeys so they can continue on.Message me if you want them taken and we can organise it.
What a shemozzle!What should be a great experience turned out to be a shemozzle.Great word shemozzle. Kaos everywhere. Not enough shade. Packed room for puzzles seminar. Turned out to be a sauna. Started too late. With aimless people everywhere.Not enough parking. And that to the bananas is a definition of shemozzle. It's easy to be critical when you're not involved. But worst of all, it was only one day long
Gadget cache Ad Labs will be switched off promptly at 6pm tonight. Get you answers in soon.
I cannot believe how much notice I had for this and I still fell over at the last minute and discovered it sitting there in a message THE DAY AFTER IT WAS ON. Something is broken in me since Dad died I just dont function like I used to. Sniffle. Sorry Frog
Is there any way I can log into Adventure Lab to complete my answers?I thought the fence had been opened. I did start the answer for the black box and the Yasser Hava Chat wanted to talk to BFE and I didn't complete the others.

**Find #4000!**Woohoo! My first mega event! Since I was so close to 4000 finds, I decided to try and make this mega my next major milestone. Glad to see my close frined I&J also celebrated #4000 here too. Congrats! I believe there was another milestone here but I'm not sure who. Congrats to that mystery person/persons!This month has been a super busy one for me. I've been to Sydney and Darwin. I've been to both a Matchbox 20 concert and a P!nk concert. Now I'm attending the mega. I'm exhausted. However, there is no rest today as it's a once in 4 year event, so I'm going to enjoy every moment and try and get every cache type and size!I signed up for geocaching in March 2020. So I missed all the rush about sizes and types. I made up for it today.So many people! I loved talking to all the new and old friends. Unfortunately, my sensory processing disorder and auditory processing disorder exhausted me.Thanks to 17MG who kept tabs on me throughout the day. Much appreciated. It was good to see Saintsno1 again. It had been a long time. I also had the pleasure of meeting InvisibleNinja.I alsogad a good fime meeting Andy.Gail from NZ, the lackeys from HQ. There's lots of other awesome people I'm sure I had a conversation with. But my gosh, so many people.I loved every second of the event. Thanks GeocachingSA peoples for organising this event. Apologies from idontcachemuch. He's had his wisdom teeth pulled, so he was unable to attend. MotherGoldy also sends apologies as she had to be elsewhere.
