Description
Another strangely-named cache for the 2017/8 States of the Nation Scavenger Series.
This geocache is not at the listed location and there is no trig station there. A bit of trig work will lead to the cache though.
The geocache is exactly half-way between the listed location and Hamley Trig (TS2399 / TP5591).

Logs
I was about to start a jog along the (very muddy) nearby firetrail, and idly checked for nearby caches. I determined that this GCA cache was about 100m from me, so headed over to make a quick find in a nice spot (TNLNSL). All is well with the container, despite its loneliness. TFTC
We were amazed to find this cache hidden in suburban Berowra. Lovely spot. Thanks Baktrak.

Finally some quiet time for a leisurely bush jog. Have kept a few locals for the summer series so had this solved a while ago. Was standing above the right spot looking around before it all made sense. well hidden and in good nick. A hidden gem.

3nd puzzle collection for the day, and umpteenth + 1 so far in the Hornsb/Berowra area for this game.
Easy find, thanks for another fun cache Baktrak.

Well this turned out to be an eventful day! I spent the whole morning solving Baktrak puzzles and planned an afternoon romp in the area cleaning them up, hoping to score big for the summer games using large puzzles for the most part. I started here and made my way south. This cache has some terrain to be careful on but was safely hidden and in good nick. A nice quick start. To find out how it ended you'll have to find my other logs from today

Saw two local mysteries published yesterday with the temps soaring above 40° so decided to wait for the cool of the morning before contemplating a visit. Got the string line very tangled while determining the mid-point only to find out it was a few hundred meters too short anyway. Found container nicely tucked away at GZ. Next, off to the new GC cache at Cowan before it gets any warmer.
