Solved this puzzle early this morning, then realised I could combine a visit to the solved location for GZ and an appearance at a nearby CITO organised by 2y'stassies. By coincidence they also created this puzzle. A rewarding morning with good attendance at the CITO and a GCA find as a bonus. Thanks for your on going work 2y'stassies.

I had the puzzle solved and corrected co-ordinates gained quite some time ago but today was the first occasion (when I remembered) to look for the cache. I was a bit concerned as the last recorded find was nearly two years ago but a find was made. Cache and contents were in good condition. Very Happy

What a way to spend your lunch break than to head out and grab a couple of caches. Dancing Had this puzzle solved for a fair while now. Was just waiting for the right opportunity to head out and log it. With the sun shining down on this beautiful day this was found and signed in no time. TFTC Clan Cerberus

Solved this one yesterday, so today on our lunch break TRIMBLETAS and i set off to grab this one and another close by cache.
we parked not far from ground zero and walked the track in, using the hint the cache was soon in hand, we both signed the logbook and placed the container back into its hiding place. then off we went to find the next cache.
i am getting closer to completing the SOTN series and am thoroughly enjoying these caches. TFTC Clan Cerberus

Quick find thanks to hint
TFTC.
Took the longer way to walk to this cache, and then it took me quite a while to actually find cache.
Found this cache on a 2 day trip to the NW, covering over 1000 kms and finding around 100 caches of both GCA and GC

Unlike SOTN #27: Near the Dog Beach we had no trouble finding this one. We could see it clearly form the track so were able to make a quick find. Unfortunately that is the last SOTN cache we have time for this trip as we have to stay to plan and on schedule to get home to our little ones. Thanks 2y'stassies

Solved this one this morning before heading to Devonport and grabbing a few GCA caches along the way.
Used a tool from the tool box we hadn't experimented with before and after a few incorrect responses finally cracked it.
A quick find at GZ with great parking only metres away.
Thanks.

Another windy...ratty day here. Had a trip to Devt today so grabbed this cache while there. Had coords sorted ages ago and once at gz, accurate coords led to a quick find. Cache and contents are in top condition. Quite large waves crashing nearby too.
Many thanks 2y'stassies for another very enjoyable hunt and find...cheers ST.

Heading to the event on Goat Island we detoured to find this cache as it fitted the criteria for a scavenge. As always accurate co ordinates led to a quick find.

Worked out some puzzles last night and headed out today to see if we could find the caches. This one was on our list and mr sharnie's tribe made a quick find when we reached GZ. Enjoyed this puzzle, the masterclass in puzzle solving that 2y'stassies are giving us all is certainly exercising the grey matter. TFTC
