Description
Phonetic Alphabet - Lima
A nice simple series of caches to help boost your numbers (and mine!!). Scattered around Canberra in groups you may choose to grab them all at once - which will help you towards a number of dragonZone Trophies based on finds per day of the week/month - or maybe do them one a day which will help your dragonZone streak ! Either way have fun and BYO Pen !
The 26 code words in the NATO phonetic alphabet are assigned to the 26 letters of the English alphabet in alphabetical order so that critical combinations of letters and numbers can be pronounced and understood by those who exchange voice messages by radio or telephone regardless of language barriers or the quality of the communication channel. In other words so that messages can be understod without the similarities of the sounds in letters such as b c d e g p t v being responsible for misunderstandings.

Alpha - GA10698

Out with Nibletricecakes for a daily gc plus a few gcas. Looking for shots in the Battleship game and this trail of caches fits the bill perfectly. All containers were found quickly. Many spiders were disrupted. TFTC minniek.
Teamed up with GLISS! to tackle a few on this trail. I still need to find all the mines in this blasted battleship game!!
While I was out on my morning caching exercise walk, I stopped by for a few GAs as well.
Thanks

We traveled out this way today to visit an area we had been to before and loved the drive and the caches TFTC
TFTC and the series, nearly completed them all... this one was easier parking than the last lol.
Out caching with Smittengranny chasing points for the summer game. It's great to have this little trail to help pick up some quick points. Thanks Minniek for the efforts. Great to be up this way looking at the great views as you get higher. Apologies for the generic logs

Another great day out caching with Joolay after more points in the current game. Thanks to Minniek for the trail up Mt S 
tromlo, this being one of them and SDL for all his scattered around the area. We continued on and found a few trigs then topped the day off with a stash of movables. All logs were signed and cache returned to their hidey holes.

A quick and easy find next to a busy road. The blackberries had been recently trimmed and I got caught up in a cutting which was very hard to get free from. TFTC

Out and about grabbing a few GCA caches. This was one in my sights and was quickly found.

A bit of an unscheduled (well, I wanted to, but plans made this a definite) caching run. Decided to clear out the GCA caches around stromlo.
All easily found and in good condition
TFTC MinnieK!

Thanks for the cache not much to say other than annoying muggles passing.

We sat in the car waiting for the rain to ease and were surprised to see what looked like snow flakes swirlling among the large water droplets. The car dash indicated the outside temperature was eleven degrees but it felt much colder.
When the rained eased we headed to the appropriate hide and found we had to cross a fast flowing river between the sealed section of the road and the grassed area. Dry shoes and socks coming up after we find the next cache.
When we went to retrieve the cache we were confronted by a fiercely growing blackberry cane. We used a walking pole to hold back the prickly canes so that we could reach the cache container. The next finder would be well advised to bring a cutting tool to make access safe as the rain followed by warmth will bring a real growth spirt to this fiercesome cache guardian.
Cache and conents were in good condition dispite the weather and the guardian.
Thanks for this cache Minniek and for the challenge of dealing with a fiercely prickly cache guardian..

#GA2113 - 13:40; With another dZ challenge nearing completion, it was time to clear the remaining caches in this series in pursuit of that challenge. Besides that, I think I am wearing out the road to this area through my frequent recent visits. This was the second stop today and after negotiating the rut beside the road to park the geomobile, I headed over the road. I had to be careful to avoid the thorns, but managed to make the extraction and after signing the log, the return, without drawing blood as I'm prone to do. TFTC minniek

A nice easy find. Could get tricky once the nearby blackberry stalks grow closer...
Quick grab while out in the area. Getting use to the hides and this one was quickly snaffled.
Thanks again Minniek.....
