Water Drop 02 Claremont, Tasmania, Australia
By Budgietas on 01-Jun-24. Waypoint GCARD0Z

Today after my event at Montrose Foreshore we completed the water drop geoart. Enjoyed solving the various puzzles whilst on the road and at the event got some intel from Lady Membsec to assist with the W3W conundrum.All caches were found some took way longer than others and it was nice to find a good variety of well thought out and executed hides.With thanks to Budgietas for the series. Several FP to be awarded.Even with my newly found W3W app I felt like I was in the wrong place. So I had a good read back through the logs and knew what I was looking for which helped narrow down the tree. Then it was just a matter of spotting the hide and then making sure I didnt drop it. These are cute little containers commonly found in Smithton. TFTC

6 days since i last grabbed 6 of the hides in this series (Puzzles and Letterboxes) so today was ripe for the picking as the 'Wet Stuff' from above is forecast for the next 3 or so days... lol, we'll see. Rain is usually scarce when it's forecast here in Olde Hobart Town ha ha With the Geomobile moved slightly, seeing i thought i was parked in a bus stop area, even though there was no Bus Stop Pole indicating it, i wasn't gonna push my luck and be fined With that done i set off on foot to this my last one to be found. At The GZ area i was looking here and looking there trying not to alert the beebee's above in the tree to me being there. It wasn't a problem as they weren't Africanized... thankfully , so anyone looking for this one don't be alarmed... they're harmless.It was about 5 or so minutes later when i finally discovered the wee sneaky cute cache container.Signed the dry log on Thursday 15 August 2024.Thanks Budgietas for the fun and many different cache hide and types, it's been a blast doing the lionshare of this cool series [^] (When i sort this cartridge download thing i will return for those Wherigo's) TFTC and the Puzzle, Budgietas

Hello Budgietas thank you for the cacheThis one took a second trip to find it as my GPSr was wanting me to look some 20m away.A nice hide.Here I go again chasing caches to get a souvenir that no one will see.Found on Monday, 12 August 2024 at 1722**TFTC**

Hi Budgietas, thanks for the cache.Out n about today with a bit of spare time between commitments, so decided to see if I could knock off a few more from this series.I parked a little further up the road and walked back to this one.All things considered, it was a pretty quick find, but equally, it could take much longer.A fav for the cute container, and the series.CheersEPs

Today was a day that we had designated as a geocaching day (one of the first for many months). The first goal was to complete the Water Drop series that had first appeared at a local event a few weeks ago. Thanks to Budgietas for placing all of the caches, working out the puzzles and the Wherigos to accompany that event. This one had us scratching our heads and required a little bit of assistance. Eventually spotted the very clever cache container and carefully logged and returned to its hidden location.TFTC

The weather was not bad today, but it was chilly in the morning. I arrived at the parking lot and walked to GZ. Spotting them quickly took me a little while. Wow, they are so cute, camo.Signed the log with good dry..TFTC

No luck, gpsr all over the shop.

Ok went away, paf and returned. Now have found the sneaky hide. I was lucky not to drop it in the creek. Nice cammo. Deserves a favourite

Our prime purpose for coming south today was to fill in another day on our multi-cache calendar. With that task completed, we headed off to the Montrose area to look for the newly published Water Drop series. CacheSleuth was our friend for solving each of the puzzles, projections and WIGs. We found all but one of the caches in the series and it appears that the one we missed was a victim of fence reconstruction. The coordinates for each of the hides were reasonably accurate or better. We enjoyed the series, in particular the variety of cache types and hides.This cache took a few minutes to find. It was an interesting cache container, one that we have seen previously in the Smithton area. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Budgietas for this cache and the series.

Today is beautiful weather. There is a blue sky, and you can see the mountains with some snow. It looks brilliant. I kicked my bum out of the house. It has been a geocaching day for a long time. I saw on the new list I received from the email. I did homework on all those new caches last night, so it is easily solved, and I enjoyed running the series Closer Suburbs.I arrived at here GZ. It took longer, with 45 minutes; it's a sad DNF for me.

The first one of the series found this morning with SSR and G&E. Spotted this one a lot quicker than expected. Nice camo. TFTC!Cheers,The Hancock Clan

A quick find by Mr H for our first find of the series.At the closing of the CITO this morning, the CO gave us all a drink bottle with a very handy bit of information of a new geoart that was about to hit, hopefully before the next rain squall!The rat and I teamed up with The Hancock Clan and knocked them all off before lunch, starting about 10.30am and finding the last one around 12.40pm.The CO generously offered for anyone at the CITO to log a first to find on any of these caches if found today. We signed most of them as team CITO as had apparently been discussed openly at the event. We tried to create a circular route but, with the Brooker Highway, the train line and even road works getting in the way, it wasnt always easy. As per the COs offer, a joint {*FTF*} with The Hancock Clan and SSR, and the rest of team CITO Thanks for the new series Budgietas Visit the [Geocaching Tasmania Facebook group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/318455407771/)Member of the [Tas_Community](http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?A=25086739) maintenance group.

We came to this mornings CITO not planning to do any more caching today, but ended up with thirteen finds (including the CITO). Budgie gave out some drink bottles with a piece of paper inside them at the end of the CITO and said that those at the event could log an {*FTF*} if they found them today, so we decided to try and get as many as we could. We met mr_johna at our fourth find and ended up following him around for the next few caches before going our seperate ways. We found eight caches before having to return home for another engagement, but returned in the evening to try and find the remaining seven. We only found four more before it got too dark to continue, but it was still an excellent day of caching, filled with high quality hides. Thanks Budgie for organising this excellent series of caches, we thoroughly enjoyed it, and Id be very surprised if it wasnt the same for everyone else.Thanks for the cache Budgietas!

Thank you Budgie for organising this CITO event and the accompanying bonus caches. There was a wide variety of hide styles, cache engineering and pure evil intentions. The challenge was met and overcome for each of them, this one, Water Drop 02 was no exception. Found in company with Swampy, this proved a pleasant days exercise, even with the sporadic rain. This is logged as a joint {FTF} with all attendees at todays event.

At the end of the CITO event today , Budgie was kind enough to hand out some drink bottles to those that attended the event. And inside was a list of caches for the Water Drop series. Once the waypoints were loaded in our phones, VK7HCH and I took off and started finding all the those caches. As Budgie said at the start, if we find it today we can claim {FTF}. We worked our way around and even caught up with Budgie at a couple of sites. We kept going through the sporadic showers and managed to find them all. Thanks Budgie for the series and the opportunity to get {FTF} with all the rest of Team CITO. Find number 4984.

What started as a day of a simple CITO after getting coffee turned into a great morning driving round collecting a nice new series of caches.We had great fun rushing round with the Hancocks to grab the {*FTF*}.Found on 30/06/2024 thanks to Budgietas for placing this cache for me to find.
