Description

The Amazing Boeing 737

I love to Travel, and I love to Fly. I have been very lucky to have traveled a lot around the world for both work and pleasure. A lot of those flights have been on Boeing aircraft. A lot of the domestic and US flights have been on the famous 737 !

Research some data on the 737 (hint hint Wikipedia) to find this Mystery Cache at South 35 1A.BC1 East 149 1D.EF2. The cache is CLEARLY NOT at the posted coords !!

First Flight : B April DC67

Introduction (Lufthansa) : DF February DE6A

Over 9000 built to date !

Operated by QANTAS of course !

BYO Pen.

Happy Hunting.

more pruning around here and now heave re-growth. cache was visible from far away so I tucked it a little deeper into the natural cover.

very much enjoyed the puzzles and this series. though would prefer to travel for real.

TFTC


PS, when I walked away, I flushed out a Crested Pigeon that has a nest with two eggs in the same tree.

I was out after work getting my daily fix of calendar filling caches when I found myself within 20m of this cache. I had a bit more long grass to pass through, but it was exactly where my GPS took me. Nice to see the puzzle worked.

Thanks

Had to drive to Queanbeyan to get parts for the car and stopped off at a few places to get my exercise for the day, a couple short hikes from Queanbeyan to get some GCs and a nice hike in Redwood forest to collect mostly GCAs.

Quick find among the needle leaves, coords are good and made it straight forward, had to just find the right angle to approach from, luckly there was a glimpse of the box to see.

Thanks for the cache fitzy!

It was about here that Upoj died Sad but at at least it had led me close enough before doing so that I could use my caching senses, not to mention previous experience of this series' MO, so that I could lay my hands on the stash at 14:55. Smile

Now what though? ShockedWink

Found this cache on the way to, at or on the way home from the Mega at Clearwaters. My trip to the Mega was great, found lab caches which while like gadgets are new icons to me. Found some great caches and brought back some neat ideas for new caches in Tasmania.

Day 4 Mega Road trip. Arrived at Queanbeyan today for the Clear Waters Mega and headed out to find a few caches in the Pialligo Redwood Forest with Tassie Trekkers and Gullivers Travels54. A lovely area to explore. Enjoyed solving the puzzles. Wow the planes seemed very close above the highway as we headed here. TFTP

After finding the traditionals in this series yesterday we realised there were several mystery/puzzle caches also. Last night while sitting in our motel room we solved the three of them and decided to locate them prior to the event that brought us to town.
This was the second one and we commented yesterday that we were surprised that there wasn't a cache in this area, only to discover why we thought there wasn't later in the evening.
The cache was located quickly ans is in good condition.
Thanks for the cache fitzy_1965.

A beautiful, but cool second day of Spring. Near windless conditions contrasted sharply with yesterday. I headed off to the airport today & grabbed a few caches while I was in the area. All quiet, apart from the planes, in most locations, being father's day & all. No DNFs today.

Plane sailing.

Thanks

We first visited this park some years ago and were pleased when we saw a number of new caches published there recently. We cannot remember the heights of the redwood trees when we last visited but wondered today if the redwoods liked the area and the climate. We know that redwoods are very slow growing but they did not appear to be thriving. Hopefully we are wrong as this is a unique reserve. We walked an approximate circular route looking for eleven caches and we managed to find them all. We enjoyed the Boeing series of caches, learning a little about the differences between the various models. Online research gave us the information to solve this puzzle. Accurate coordinates and a familiar style of hide led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks fitzy_1965 for the puzzle, cache and the series.

Found 3:35pm with my girlfriend, sixth find for the day. I had been out here in this area previously. We pretty much knew what we were to expect given the other recent caches. A quick find, coords are pretty good. And again another history lesson and some interesting details.
Thanks for the cache.

We had some spare time today so decided to grab some of the caches in the park. We had a nice stroll although it was a little wet underfoot in the far corner.

Thanks for the caches fitzy_1965

Thanks for the hide fitzy_1965

Decided to head out and take a lovely stroll around this neck of the woods.......again. I had the place to myself apart from a rascally rabbit or two. A very pleasant stroll and no dramas locating my targets.
Thanks Fitzy_65 for the cache, the fun and the stats on the planes while some were creating some noise pollution in the distance.

#1681 - 13:35; An unexpected opportunity to go caching presented itself while I was out and about with the geohoney. She wanted some time in the city to shop, so I decided to head out to Redwood Park, which wasn't far from the drop off point, to give the CO's new series a try. Dropped Sol de lune a line in case he was already in the area. He wasn't, but changed plans and we met up to tackle the new caches in the area. It was such an impromptu mission, we had to load the coordinates for all of the caches into our GPSrs as neither of us had run an update to capture the new caches before leaving home. Once that was done, we collected the moveable then headed off on a clockwise circuit of the park caching as we went. Yet another quick find, with another blank log for another joint *FTF*.

Was heading towards the Barton Highway to finish off the series out that way when LuckyL10n rang and suggested a run around this park to grab the new ones here. So my plans changed and I was off to visited the Redwood Forest again. Once at the park we headed off on a walk around the area grabbing the caches as we went. Had solved the mystery caches earlier so it all was good and we had the area covered and all the caches found.

Thanks fitzy.....neat area for the well named caches.....
