Our thanks to Ronice88.
# 21648. The puzzle solver Robmc has had these done for a long time now. While the weather is still pleasant and with all the autumn colour in full force we decided to team up with Chewinprickles and have a nice ride and some harder walking to knock over this series.Another nice hide found by lurking in the bushes. A novel container.Thanks Ronice88
Ditched the car in favor of bicycles from now on. Had a very pleasant ride along the path grabbing these caches along the way. Thanks Ronice88
Chewinprickles, BettyBoo3747 and I decided upon today to try some of the F.L.A.K.E. puzzlesSo we loaded up the deadly treadlies and set off for Harrietville.We had solved them all when they first came out, but had not got around to look for them. We had to look at the puzzles again as so many of the hides were well themed.Nice puzzles and great hides for this series.A nice quick find at GZ today, and an interesting container.Thanks, Robmc.
After a lovely relaxing lunch by the river and a change of clothes as it was warming up, we set off for an arvo of caching admiring the beautiful surrounds at different points along the way. This was the next for the arvo and GMelb found the cute outer container. It took some time and a tott to extract the log for signing lol TFTC Ronice88 - GJMMelb
After a couple of days walking out and staying overnight at federation Hut , Mt Feathertop with Purplepeopleater. We had a go at doing caches around Harrietville and surrounding areas. With Puzzles solved and traditional cached to get, it made for a busy day of easy and not so easy terrain ratings. I will be back another day to finish off some of the ones we missed. TFTCMCheers dkmacca
Down in the Victorian Highlands for a couple of days hiking and geocaching with DKMakka. Perfect weather and a welcome relief from the Sydney humidity.Solved the Flake Series in anticipation of our trip, and enjoyed the well themed and innovative puzzles. A lot of work has gone into the caches themselves and it was great to discover some monster size caches mixed into. An excellent series and loads of fun (and effort) Thanks Ronnice88, I will be back hopefully sooner than later to this wonderful area.SL TFTC
Found it! Muggle Wen completed the puzzle. Very interesting object. We enjoyed our morning walk but the Traveling Muggles had had enough by now so they wandered back to the car while I went in search of a couple more caches. At GZ the cache was a quick find and helped me work out where to find the next one. I like these caches, layer upon layer until you find what is within! TFTC SL
Found at 9:26 AM GAFF1.Riding along this bike track is quite a pleasure and finding these micro's is not as bad as I thought it was going to be Thanks to Ronice88
I was out with kbucky today to collect the majority of the SNOMO series. It was a beautiful day to be walking along the Bon Accord track. The numerous bird calls really added to the magical atmosphere of this lovely setting. We had a very busy day, walking over 13km's and then a quick bike ride along the Great Alpine road to collect some of the F.L.A.K.E series. It was a coincidence that I met a local woman hiking on the Bon Accord track and then I met her again, and her husband, on the bike trail as they were also riding. We were surprised to cross paths twice in the same day.This was a lovely puzzle with another quirky cache container which took a while to locate.
My first cache for the day, my first in the new Snowflake series, and the cache I needed to log to complete my 365 day streak challenges.Thanks for the clever hide not hidden where we first expected, but with very accurate coordinates when we looked at them on my iPad it took me to GZ exactly. Joint 2TF with ampitup1 and LillieBo5 on the way to the CITO this morning.A favourite point from me to make your day happier, thanks Ronice.
An unplanned trip to Harrietville where we attended the cito and an event After looking in the wrong place to start with, we soon had the cache located. Now, how to access the log book. Logbook found, signed and returned as found. Found on our way to the cito with Lillieb05 and cybergran V.
Well after the CO decided to waylay herself in Wang Hospital by jumping on sticks, Cybergran needed a lift to the CITO and due to being easily persuaded I went with ampitup1 and Cybergran-V to Harrietville and after the quiz we settled down to puzzle solving. We stopped for this one and had not as quick a find as planned but a cute little find in the spot the gps pointed. Thanks for a fun cache, event and hope you are better soon
