Description

Canberra to Goulburn Rest Areas - Truck Stop A

I drive Goulburn to Canberra and Canberra to Goulburn nearly every day of the week. There are many different rest areas along the way in order to Rest Revive and Survive. With this cache here you now have another excuse to stop to rest and then get to your destination safely with a new smilie :-)

I don't know if this rest stop has a name, so I made one up !

BYO Pen and enjoy.

With three events and a weekend off I decided on heading over to Canberra to attempt the ‘Most cache types in a day challenge’. After arriving Friday night and having a great night sleep, it was morning and I headed off to find the caches between the motel and the first event. It was a great drive across the country side picking up the finds plus the caches at both parts of the rest area where the first event was held. A fun little event for everyone to meet and greet before heading into Canberra for the CITO. Next, it was time for the CITO plus claiming the find on nearby virtual cache. After the CITO, I was up to 7 cache types already. Big Grin Then, it head off to find a WIG and LB to add the next two types to the list before heading to the final event. At the final event, I had a delicious Chicken Snitty and spoke all things Geo with the other attendees. Finally it was time to get a mystery cache to make it 11 for the day. Big Grin Just before heading back to my motel I passed by the GCA History series along the Anzac Parade. I may head out and find some caches around Queanbeyan tonight before heading to bed. TB visit on all caches. I would like to thank all CO’s of the caches I found today and for allowing them to bring enjoyment to me and the rest of the caching community.

I am out caching by myself today and decided to have an early start to be home before the forecast storms arrived. I succeeded in that but didn't finish all the caches I was hoping to. Like others before me I had to have a second attempt to find this cache. Very clever. TFTC Minniek SL Very Happy

#GA2582 - 10:45; Sol de lune and I both had a hole to fill in the dZ calendar and decided to give this one a go today. Arrived at GZ only to find a caravan parked there. We were considering our options when we spotted signs of movement, so decided to wait things out. Sdl provided commentary as only an old caravanner can and the coast was soon clear. The initial search turned up nothing, but a deeper examination saw the cache in hand. Log signed and it was off for Sdl to grab a nearby GC cache which I picked up last year.

Out with LuckyL10n to grab this one as it was sort of close to....the border. Had a caravan parked there, but after a good 5 minutes sitting in his car, they took off and we had the area to ourselves. Checked the area as suggested by the hint and although it took two sweeps, the cache was eventually in hand and the log signed.

Amazingly, someone has dumped a huge spa in the area....appalling to see what some idiots do with things they no longer want/need.

Thanks for the cache Minniek...

Mudgee trip for The Road Less Traveled series. Day 1. Canberra to Bumeroo Ford via Crookwell. As I raced along the highway towards Goulburn and more caches I had to stop at a few of these new rest stop caches.

Thanks
