On the 14/10/2016 I met up with 'Teamnanabombana' at the cache Traumatised Tree (GC2P0H9). TFTLC Very Happy

My log on, Traumatised Tree (GC2P0H9):
After finding 'Missing maze' I made my way to this cache and was met at GZ by 'Teamnanabombana' and said I shouldn't have any trouble finding it and guess what it was a quick find. I love the camo! Smile Tftc and as we were both on our way to the same next cache we had a great talk while on the way.

On 3 March 2011, I was lucky enough to nab an FTF on a new cache, The Fat Cricketer (GC2PG4K), in Watsonia, Victoria. Just as I found the cache, other teams started showing up such as, in order, 80degrees(f), 80degrees(m) (arriving separately), pocketrocket&friends, landau351 and finally CenturySon. Dancing

It was an amazing experience as we stayed there chatting merrily for about an hour and a half after the find until the "where are you?" phone calls became too insistent and we had to head our separate ways.

A couple of group photos were taken, one before and one after CenturySon arrived, and landau351 has posted the full group shot on here already. To be a little different though (and with apologies to CenturySon), I'll post the pickie of the group before he arrived.

Many thanks Pesky! Geomonkey.

parallel sticks Steve and Marion from England, have been in Australia for nearly 12 months and have cached WA NT SA VIC NSW TAS ACT and QLD in the time that they have been here finding over 2000 caches in that time.Both have been staying with baby&Mrs gopher at The Rock for a couple of days.Here is a caught shot of them logging GC1VFPM Not the Olympic Way.
 
03-Apr-13
baby&Mrs gopher were out doing a bit of Trig caching on Monday the first of April.While passing Saltbus Bill's Mail Box some ACT number plates were spotted parked nearby.Mrs said lets spring these cachers,so we did.Gave a yell and the reply was watch the dog.Walked up and Rick was in the throes of lining up the lines on Bill's lock.Lid was opened and the big 8 legged cache minder came out to say g'day.Here is a photo of Boot65 and another of the cache minder.
 
09-Mar-13
Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1210.The Mrs,baby(baby&Mrs gopher),Nod and Lot (Nodalot) were just replacing the Wee Wee Rup TB Hotel when what we thought were muggles pocked the front of their vehicle around the trees.The Morris,Robin,Chad and Geogirlgave us a wave through the window.As both the Morris and baby&Mrs gopher had had a DNF here in the not too distant past.It is always great to do a little Spotto as you go.

Darn it - I'd misinterpreted (ok skimmed over) the finer details of this cache and thought it was to catch another cacher/team in the act of caching whilst out caching yourself and finally managed to get such a photo - only to discover it needed to be a group shot... Brick Wall I don't suppose a little rule-bending could be had?... Mr. Green
 
13-Dec-12
Met chocchunk and mporoksa at GC3Y7AK-Countryside cream when we were both on the way to a 12.12.1.2 event in Lincoln, NZ. Poor photo but we were in a hurry.

Out caching on my way north to Auckland stopped at this cache. As I walked away from the car another car stopped in the carpark. I rushed off to find the cache before they arrived and muggled me. After findind and replaceing was standing on the lookout when then arrived with GPS in hand. It was Lucky777, old friends I had not seen for about 10 years.

I'm not going to provide coordinates, as this occurred whilst I was trying to retreive a puzzle cache on the weekend. At GZ I had to wait, and wait, and wait for two kids to give up sitting on the swings talking and finally leave. Just as they did a car pulled up nearby and some other people began wandering nearby. Bugger - more waiting! But then I recognised them as other cachers and assumed they were there for the same cache. Turns out they were looking to place a cache nearby as they thought they had found an empty spot on the map. They moved on to find somewhere else to hide their cache, and I finally uncovered this one. They did point out that I looked mighty suspicious in my beanie looking for the cache and hoped that I didn't get arrested before I found it!

Whilst on the hunt for Shogun-'s impossible to find cache, FOUND IT No.5 -V2,
I bumped into The Empire (Michael) at WP1. We then moved on to WP2, the
impossible one, and who should turn up but Covert Hypnosis (Justin).

We searched for a couple of hours with no luck but mutually enjoyed the company.

Returning to the cache mobile after finding GA2025 Gemmule Guide when etrexer arrived to search for the cache we had just found. Funny that two teams turned up at almost the same time when this cache hadn't had any activity reported for about 10 months! Swapped stories for a while, took a photo and then went our seperate ways. Nice to meet up with you on the job etrexer! Wink
 
22-Apr-12
Was out in Wentwork Falls doing a quick cache when after 10min on my own someone approached. I recognised him as Baktrak and then we continued searching for the cache. I ended up finding it, so we SL and replaced. Good to see you again mate.

While in Horsham for a few days we met Bad meets Evil at a cache called Drooping Brewers, but it was a DNF for both of us. TFTC again Pesky,
Roostaman.
 
11-Mar-12
While searching for the cache 'Reaching Duck' GC5B7 in the Cataract Gorge in Launceston, we were surprised to see someone else wandering up the steep slope. It was far enough up in the bush off the main path that it couldn't possibly be a muggle... and the logo on his shirt gave it away too!

Turned out to be Bruce from Liz and Bruce, only a few days before they were due to leave Tassie! Had not met him before but seen lots of his stickers in log books. Was great to meet Bruce and have some help searching for that tricky cache, and hear of his amazing 13,000 finds!

In the end my partner found the cache and we all signed it together, and grabbed a photo for Spotto!
 
10-Feb-12
A new geocache (GC3C7BE) was published near Robertson so as I was heading up that way called in. Jumped out of the UAV & was met by a g'day Tuena from J of J+J.au despite we never having met before. Had seen a photo of me somewhere. On the way in passed a AWD but couldn't see through the glass. The owner turned round & had a yarn to Rock-hopper. The CO was also present as the cache had slipped down a hole & attempts at retrieval were in progress. These were unsuccessful so a call went out to Bugs-Juice to bring a endoscope camera. All to no avail though. Took a photo of J & Bugs-Juice as they prepared the camera for probing in a dark place.

I stopped in Hyde Park after school at around 9:30pm to find Watch for Livestock (GC36PVN). After some time a cacher appeared. It was steptoe. After a short chat we headed home.

It was great to meet you steptoe.

Cheers
 
30-Jan-12
While performing a 10pm night attempt on Watch for Livestock (GC36PVN) I found Czechroo aready at GZ - after a moment I realised he was a cacher, and not a late-night muggle sitting right on GZ, so the cache was logged and the accompanying photo taken by Petr.

It was great to meet a cacher I had not seen around before, and even better to score a GCA find into the bargain.

The next night I was sitting on the rail at a nearby city cache signing the log, when 2 other cachers appeared and started to search the metal railing 3 feet beside me. If I had been a muggle, the cache would have had a good chance of being nabbed after they found and returned it I think, but luckily all was fine.
 
27-Dec-11
It was nice to meet a couple from Canada - "Lost canucks" whilst we were doing the game - "GC393Q3 The Treasure of Hillarys Boat Harbour" With FelixII. Thanks.

Was trying out my new Garmin etrex 20 on Christmas day at the new cache GC39F0G 'Summer Set'. Had just completed the first waypoint when some other cars pulled up. Initially thought they were muggles until they got out with GPSrs. Very Happy It was in fact 2y'stassies and chocolate ali! We met up with them again at WP2 which none of us were able to complete as the owner had made an error with the coords. Congrats on the other teams for working it out regardless and finally getting the FTF.

And thank you for the lovely comments 2y'stassies! It's really great to know that people out there are enjoying our caches. It was very nice to meet you, too. Very Happy

This is actually our fourth (or fifth?) random encounter with geocachers in the wild, but the first time having any evidence to log it! So big thanks to whoever remembered this locationless.

I'll make a brief note of previous encounters for posterity:

07-Oct-08: Caught sirius Tas signing the first log of our first ever cache, GA1223 'Wattle We Find'

08-Aug-10: In Amsterdam, random Dutch cacher (Diptera) at random cache on the end of a deserted pier! GCZ1TC 'Ij-Zicht'

23-Dec-10: Some tourist cachers on the beach in Burnie, while forthferalz was looking for GC2KAAF 'Boardwalk Blitz'

... and I just remembered this one...!

22-Nov-11: Camping at GC2MRZ4 'Detention River', a couple turned up and wandered around. They said hello. We thought they were muggles. They thought we were muggles. Then I spied one of them sneaking the cache back, but they'd gone before we had a chance to tell them we were geocachers too!! Checking the log book confirmed they were Darby&Joan from NZ...
 
25-Dec-11
Whilst chocolate_ali and us (2y’stassies) were out on Christmas Day afternoon looking for “GC39F0G Summer Set” we had the pleasure of catching up with Team Hookline. We had corresponded by email previously but had not had the opportunity to meet. Catching up with Team Hookline was one of the highlights of the afternoon. We have enjoyed several of Hookline's challenging caches particularly Philosophers 2 and ICEM Sisters in Detention. We have also admired the handy work in the little hand made badges included in their ICEM caches. After a chat we continued on our way.

Doodle Bug Oz met Mrnoo17 at "Oh" No Darling - GCVQ4A First time either of us had met another cacher at a cache!

WanderingAus wandered by on day 91 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, finally heading south out of Darwin with the WanderingMrs (aka SWMBO) after an 11 week stay.

Runciple rang me a few days earlier from Berry Springs and told me he had a POW/MIA Geopin he wanted to get to me, so I suggested he drop it in GC18401 Coomalie Pit Stop by Kerr NT because it had only had one find since my previous visit three weeks earlier.

As I slowed before the bridge I saw three young ladies near GZ, and had the thought "cachers or muggles"? After turning into the rest area I could see them still, in the normal aimless meandering of the cacher on the hunt. Knowing exactly where it was hidden I figured it wouldn't be long before they also knew, and this proved to be the case.

After parking near the farthest picnic table, I walked back and met Electra84 in the process of writing her log entry. I offered her a geocoin I was about to drop in exchange for the POW/MIA Geopin, which neither of us realized was trackable.

I explained to Electra84 the opportunity to claim this Locationless cache, and we both got photos of the occasion for that purpose

GC3038R - Evans Lane popped up so I raced off only to find that I couldn't get an accurate map. Whilst I fiddled about for a few minutes, Julian appeared and grabbed FTF from me. Oh well 2TF was ok too.

Met smit1189 and iamapom at GC2ZNF2 Let's Be Frank Lin, which was a huge surprise, to meet two teams at a city cache. I had been working late and figured it would be a quick collect before getting the train back home. Thanks to iamapom for the lift to Fairfield station afterwards.

As per my log for Chug Chug Chug (GC2HRVX),
I bumped into LimeSugarLink while attempting the cache, but at the time I could not locate this cache listing (the name got me confused - that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it),
Anyway it's 12th Aug and I re-found this locationless cache while looking for another I had snapped a pic for, and was lucky enough to have not deleted the photo taken for just this cache-find, so here it is.
(will PM LSL now the pic is finally listed too)

At GC2PHNX Wildlife Geocache are Michael (EagleEye of Landau351), (Bubblzdee), Lloyd & Kate(Stagetree), Jim & Alison (80 degrees) Sue (Landau351). I was still at work when the phone informed me I had mail, but unable to do anything about it! I decided that I just had to get someone from the team there and managed to convince Sue to take Michael (EagleEye) for a potential First to Find. As it turned out, no such luck but they still got to meet some very nice teams!

04-Mar-11
The young daughter and I arrived at the parking spot for GC2PHNX Wildlife Geocache to be greeted by a couple of familiar faces. 80degrees and bubblzdee. We were later joined by the better and younger halves (thirds?) of landau351 who were off finding the cache.
A great mini event ensued with a couple of tips gleaned. This time I remembered to take a photo in the field (thanks to Jim). It's about time I logged this cache. Smile
 
03-Mar-11
At the "The Fat Cricketer" (GC2PG4K) CenturySon, Jim and Alison (80 Degrees), Rhiannon (Pocket Rocket & Friends), David (Landau351), EuDes and Michael (EagleEye).
The 5 groups teams all converged on this one and chatted (as you do) for ages. Phones were going off left right and centre wondering where we all had gotten too. Luckily I had to pickup my daughter from nearby so I was able hang about on that pretext. Very Happy Nice to meet so many people and a new face (to me) CenturySon.

GCA 77 - 3553. I've had many 'spotto' moments since I've started caching.

On only my 6th cache 'GC16Z66 First to Florey' on 5 November 2007 my kids and I were startled when some strange guy rode his bike up to GZ ?? Seems he was also a 'cacher' and so we made the find together. Oh yeah seems he was a rather experienced cacher as well - mtbikeroz !

Another memorable time was when Sol and I were in Hawaii looking around a shopping area for a cache. We had our GPSs in our hands trying to look inconspicuous, when a guy walks up and asks "Are you guys Cash-ing?". They were from Oregon on holiday - and then spent the next 5 minutes helping us look for the cache (we never did find that one) - even his Father in a wheelchair was helping out !

We also bumped into richlink in Canberra during their around Australia trip a few years ago. I've since caught up with them at the Mega last year as well as visiting them in Bunbury for a fun day of caching.

I always enjoy meeting up with fellow cachers whether its at an event or in the wild !

TFTC !!

SquALeD (Left) bumped into yonnie33 at Tea Tree Avenue on Wed 23rd Feb 2011 at about 9.00.
1653010206.jpg
I was walking round in circles when yonnie33 arrived and started walking in circles too. Thing is, his circles were better than mine so he got the FTF..
 
01-Feb-11
While in Sydney, we found ourselves in the company of Cruiser33 from the UK searching for a cache at Circular Quays. We then wandered off and spent an enjoyable few hours together looking for a few caches.

While hiding a gnome at night when we didn't expect anyone to be around we were spotto-ed by Old Saint who had beaten us to a FTF on a gnome a few days ago. Yesterday we beat him to a FTF on the peninsula. I guess that makes us even, hehehe. It was great to meet them and put faces to the name. A nice cuppa, biccies and a great chat ensued and we parted company knowing a bit more about another pair of cachers out there. A nice easy cache, thanx. Very Happy

Dancing Sprung by Smith 1710 & The Traveling Smiths at Rivo Park Dancing
 
We were heading towards GZ when a man addressed his family while holding a rather large black telephone. "Someone placed it there, I don't know when" he said. The President had sharp eyes and spotted something resembling the plastic we were seeking in one of the young boys hands. "Are we really all here for the same thing?" was all the 1st lady could utter, totally surprised by the chance meeting of geocachers from opposite ends of the world. tjfaseler logged the cache, followed by us, then the obligatory photo, which the 1st lady offered to take, then it was off to lunch at the nearby adequate but overpriced tourist attraction cafe. Thanks for the impromptu meeting tjfaseler.
 
29-Dec-10
Back for another attempt to find GeoGnome Kabouter when I heard someone call to me. It was The X-Trailers come to find GC "Doug Jennings". I asked them to give me a hand and they turned it up in no time. We then went on to look for GC "Light Reflections" on The Spit, and swapped some trackables and hints on good caches we've done. They were going on to do GC "Luminescence" at the end of the sea wall,the cache I'd found in the wild weather yesterday. They promised to write my name in the log - I couldn't do it yesterday because the waves were breaking on the rocks beside the light and showering me with salt water.
 
29-Dec-10
I was out Gnome hunting this morning when I spied Pyobeon and his geo-tracker dog on a walk with the same thought in mind. We weren't successful in our hunt but we did have a good chat about caching in general. I'm a Gnome, duh!
 
28-Dec-10
After finding GC "Luminescence" out on the sea wall at The Spit, I went on to Doug Jennings Park to try to find GeoGnome "Kabouter". As I climbed a small rise I saw a couple walking away and called out to them. It was stairman1 and goldielover and they were at Sea World for the day. We had a lovely chat and as a result of something they told me I went over to The Spit to look for a Herbz cache "Federation" that they said they couldn't find. Altho' I didn't find the Gnome, I found this locationless! Thanks for a great idea.
 
22-Dec-10
I spotted the owner, ST37E, with one of mates at one of his caches in Ballarat.
We stopped for a chat and then I had more caches to find.

This car pulled up in front of ours as we were on caching trip around the Bellarine Peninsula.
The faces were familiar, it is the 'Bearsleys' who we met an an event in Melbourne earlier this year.
Lucky they were here as it was a hard cache (GC287D4).
 
09-Dec-10
WanderingAus wandered by, killing time while waiting for John Hughes workshop to do some work for me, after hunting down GC2CEG4 5 More Nanos #1 by Mickeydv. As I was walking back to the geoPajero after returning the cache I heard "Did you find it?" from behind me, and realised I had been sprung by another cacher. bsurin65 was on the hunt, and told me of his failure with duncdonut73 earlier in the week. With just a little guidance he was able to make the discovery, but chose to return later to make the retrieve. We then had a nice chat and I took a photo for this cache.

While at the Yackandandah event we roamed around town for a while and spotted a new team Explorer Dobbo with her 'plus 1' friend. They had arrived at this new cache also and were trying to find it. Nice easy find after we arrived. TFTC,
Roostaman.
 
26-Nov-10
While searching for GCKR9K "Combination Delta" in Roma Street Parklands and having no luck at all a lady stopped and said "I think it's over there" It was stickerless lady and she had found the cache ages ago. With her suggestion that we look on other side of the path, plus the hint, and a photo by an earlier cacher I was able to find the sneaky thing. Turns out she knew other cachers we knew and it was great to meet her. Would never have found cache without her. It was our second 'Spotto' for the day!
 
26-Nov-10
while out with Aussie Liahona for a day's caching in Brisbane, we were signing the log in GC10DDD "Ithacache" when a cyclist riding past said "I'm looking for that one" and it was Biggles of Oz on a visit to Brisbane. He did the right thing and came down to the cache and signed the log. so we were able to get a photo. Great to meet another cacher in the field.

Spent the cup day public holiday caching, as did many teams down here on the peninsula! We ended up with two unplanned mini meets, but only one photo thanks to Crank1 Very Happy

First mini meet at GC2F3YZ where we bumped into: saulman1010, Trailertrash78, Hazey1, Skip2992, Bigea17 and various kids.

On to the next cache, GC2G1Q9, where we bumped into Crank1 and Alchemy2 (photo attached).
 
23-Oct-10
so, there i was, doing my own thing, until i saw two men, heading towards the bridge, with things in their hands. are they gps'es? could they be?..no, i'll just hide.

climbed onto rock face, and sat there reading the..logs (or at least playing with phone!), as i watched them poke/prod everything. (oh hi there. I'm totally a muggle. Very Happy) I was first thinking "..are they doing maintanance on the bridge or something?"
Then i took the bullet, and asked "..ah..are you guys geocaching?"

turns out it was baldrick61 and jorgies (and puppy), trying to find said cache as well.

And i personally found it. Yippie! Smile

This was a totally unexpected meeting, to say the least. I live in Leura and work in Dural. GazMag lives in North Richmond.

Who would have thought that we'd meet unexpectedly, and exactly at GZ, in Castle Hill?

We were both chasing the FTF, but were beaten by our friend Yurt.

We took each other's photo, but didn't have the sense to try to photograph ourselves together.

Hope this pair of photos is OK!

These unexpectedly meetings with other geocachers is one of the speical delights of our hobby . . . great to see it crystalised in a locationless cache. A very good idea! Wish I'd noticed it earlier.

This was an occasion when 3 teams thought they'd get a FTF on Herbz Revenge (GC2DG51) but all found they'd been beaten to it (eauman_oz was actually on the computer and saw the cache come up). I knew Aussie Liahona was on the way but to meet PPTrekerz was a true Spotto! It was lovely to meet some young cachers and I made up a box of small swaps and geostuff and gave it to them the following week at the Queens Land 10 Years On event. We need to train up the coming generation so we'll still have caches to find in our golden years. Actually this year is looking a lot more golden since I discovered geocaching!

While out trying to find my first to find I spotted a FWD parked in the street ans when I got to GZ I found Ruffasguts.
He managed to find the cache we were looking for and we had a chat.
Thanks mate and it was great to meet you.

Oh boy - thought we were in strife when we had just replaced the cache & were about to depart when we noticed a gent striding into the bushes, grab the cache & then head towards us Pray ....then Old Saint introduced himself to us. What a relief! Great to meet a Tassie cacher at his own cache. Cheers

Was out looking for a cache at GC21Q8K THE FALLEN by ruffasgutts4x4,When i decided to give up because of all the prickle bushes,I was returning to the car when i spotted a fellow Geocacher(WanderingAus)He explained an easy way to access the cache and then we had a nice informative chat before he departed to look for more caches and i headed back in to have another look for GC21Q8K THE FALLEN ,This time coming up with the goods and a signed log.Turned out to be an easy find.It was nice to meet WanderingAus and thanks for the talk and some valuable advise from a much more experienced Geocacher.

WanderingAus wandered by on day 144 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, after hunting down GC2AM1C Love goes up and down by team_Noah, as I was trying to roll up the log I was approached by a suspected muggle who turned out to be Adventageous. I convinced her to turn her back while I re-hid the container so she could make a find herself, then we had a nice chat and I took a photo for this cache.

WanderingAus wandered by on day 144 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, after hunting down GC21Q8K THE FALLEN by ruffasgutts4x4, I was returning to the geoPajero when I saw a walker ahead of me, returning to his car which was parked near mine. It turned out to be Morky70, he'd seen the prickly bush in the path indicated by his gpsr and decided to give it a miss. After explaining how easy it was to get to the cache, and having a nice chat and taking a photo for this cache, he returned to the hunt and I expect made a find.

This one happened at GC2EKEM "Des-truction on the P***", geo-nephew's first cache hide. I was going for my second attempt, in daylight this time. Walked up to check the cache and noticed a group of cyclists on opposite side of the road writing something. We walked over and sure enough, Spotto! Geoknights were out on bikes. We took a photo but somehow I deleted it which was a shame. We were able to give some guidance on local caches. the Peninsula and beaches along the Bay are make a good biking circuit.

First find and also first meeting with another cacher couple, Eric and Maddie "Edmil". The odds against this type of meeting are huge. No first to find and a cache that's literally in the middle of the bush. This was a great meet as I learnt so much from this lovely couple. Hope to see them again, maybe at an event this year sometime.

Watched a FWD come down the st. and spotted a GPS symbol and the words Geocacher on a sticker...I said to the boys guess where he is going and we all went down to watch him find the above cords.
The boys had a game of hotter colder with him until he found it.
The neighbors were out wondering what was going on. We introduced each other and acko took our pitcher.He then told me about this site as I am only new to Caching so I am pleased to report this SPOTTO.
