Gallery of log for Flummin' Hell
Myself and Goose of GooseandEgg have wanted to do this cache for a while now but with it's out of the way location and weather dependant access plans of a nip and grab it while passing was out of the question
We had a planned overnighter in the North of the state to attend a CITO, this is when we figured would be our best chance of getting this cache without making a special trip for one cache.
Well after leaving Hobart at 6am we had headed North picking up a couple on the way we started our drive up into the hills, driving thur the clouds almost, we spotted a couple of broken views before we started to see snow at the side of the road and were both thinking maybe a 2WD is not the best idea for this cache.
Like so many good caches (for me anyway) it's more about the location and the journey with the find just a bonus, this is one of those, without caching and this cache in particular I would have never bothered to come to this out of the way place to see some mind opening views, I always take pictures of these types of locations but they never show what i remember seeing and feeling no matter how hi-res they are but I take them all the same if for nothing more than to show to 'normal' people what great views are out there, they wont know of the feelings they are missed just looking at pictures until they see it for themselves.
Anyway enough of my waffle, we made it to GZ after a great drive and only spotted one other car that surprised us to be honest, at GZ it was cold enough for large patches of snow to still be about on this spring day, we searched for a few minutes before we spotted the hide and were glad to add our names to the log.
We enjoyed even more great views on the way down from up here and it just topped the day off thank you so much to Horus who many many years ago placed this cache which has taken me to this great location.
