Hi Stainless
Woke this morning at 0730 hours but it was already 0830 hours - HAPPY DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME!
Mum had not got up to go to Church which meant my early rise was going to be wasted - decided to go caching and do today the caches I was going to look for tomorrow.
So I drove from Huonville to Sandy Bay, South Hobart, Howrah, Flagstaff Gully, Richmond, Tea Tree, Sorell, Mt Rumney and back to Huonville netting eight finds for the day driving a total of 221 kilometres - walking to and from caches for the day saw me do 8.21 kilometres on foot with 10912 steps and burning 1735 calories.
Weather: Overcast but fine, sunny and warm; temperature later in the day was 18 degrees Celsius (at Seven Mile Beach.) Windy everywhere I went.
Having driven from Huonville to Sandy Bay and South Hobart to make two finds before this became the next on the day's agenda.
Across the bridge to a familiar parking spot. Where's the track start; as usual, I couldn't find it - I never walk far enough to locate it from where I park the car - it happened again today. Walked through the bush heading toward the cache by following the needle and voila, the track appears; better and easier walking now.
Arrived at GZ and took a pit stop.
The cache was well hidden but found easily. Off with the camouflage and AHA! Look! Just what one was expecting.
In with the tool and up come two peskies. Out with my tool and one remains and one drops - this is going to be bloody ted....!! BUT fun. In and out! In and out! Reminded me of my fishing trips - a fish every cast - Achmmm - sounds like a fishing story to me!
Okay, I did this some seventeen times and on the eighteenth the log was inside. Only one signature to date, but I knew that the goose had been there with his family and got the FTF - well done!
This became a very popular spot after I left today. The cache was Sainted at 1107 hours.
May I endorse goose's sentiments - a great cache to which you should take your kids or your grandkids as I believe they would enjoy it immensely. The cartridge was reloaded and the "pond" was put back in place and the camouflage re-added.
Only a short walk from car to the cache and return was required:
A total distance of 1.38 kilometres required only 719 steps burning 64 calories.
Highly recommend what can only be described as a great cache for kids of all ages, even one as old as me.
TFTC and cheers
