Description

Perphee the Perforatorsaurus

While never really touching terra firma, my imagined Perphee the Perforatorsaurus (so named because of the rapier-like spines down his lower back and tail) was a gentle herbivore living around the wet marshes in what is today the Wyoming, Colorado, Oklahoma and Utah areas of North America. A cross between an Apatosaurus and Stegosaurus, Perforatorsaurus feed on the plentiful low lying bushes and shrubs that his subtropical environment provided. A sauropod, Perphee was one of the largest dinosaurs of his genus and loved lumbering about his wet and warm climate foraging for delectable snacks.

The Jurassic Period was nowhere near as scary as the Jurassic Park films would have you believe, but Perphee did have to beware the fearsome  Allosauarus - the largest meat eating dinosaur of the Jurassic period -  who was very loud, bossy and hungry! Luckily, Perphee was deft in defence, often using his mighty spike adorned tail as a deadly weapon of impalement.

While his habitat no longer exists, Perphee is eager to, once again, find warmer and greener climes. He yearns for a big, blue sky, warmth on his back and a lush forest floor under foot. Millions of years have transformed his old home into the American Wild West, and truth be told, Perphee would not recognize it, but, no matter the changes, Perphee knows that home is home is home.

Take Perphee home!

Admin review only - as stated by the previous finder, this moveable is still in location. So, it's out there and ready to be found again...cache on.
 
Today as I travelled South I found a bunch of moveables at Uralla. I left a few and took a few and only logged ones I haven't found before.
I'm not sure where they'll all end up. I've got a few Kms to travel this week, so we'll see.

This one is still at the listed coords.

Perphee must have been wondering when he was going to see the back of that stump he's spent 76 weeks in. So we picked him up. Sadly there won't be too much warmth on his back or lush forest under foot where he's going but big blue sky is in abundance. Very Happy TFTM caughtatwork.

I've had this moveable cache for about a week, so I decided to move it on before the rain comes. It should be easy enough to find but if you are having trouble I have added a hint.

What an amazing way to start my holidays from work. Geo-events, traveling, meeting up with friends and finding many different caches made it fun! Big Grin It’s so nice to finally be able to do all these things… again. The following descriptions are my adventures between the days of 12/11/21 and 16/11/21. Each cache has been logged to the end of my adventures for the day of finding them. If you would like to read my full log, please find it on any cache I found on the 16/11/21.
Day #1: I finished work at 4pm and headed over to Wagga for the only GIFF event in NSW. Apart from the CO, I was the first to arrive at the event. It was great to finally attend a Geocaching after many months without them. All talk Geo was had by all until we were told that dinner was ready. Soon after, the popcorn was ready and the movies were on. Congratulations to all the GIFF finalists and they were all a great watch. Also, Congratulations to BMG for receiving the FTF on the event. Then it was time to head home and get ready to head to Canberra for the next few days. Big Grin
Day #2: I was nearly late to my own event. O’well… It was still fun with the small group of us that turned up. We also discovered many Moveable caches before heading off to today’s main goal. This happened to be finding the ‘A’ part of the GA geo-art series as well as the lone GC caches around the area which I hadn’t found as I pasted by them. I wasn’t alone as AKM came for the walk as well. After finding all but the last two we headed our separate ways as it started raining heavier. Hopefully, it won’t be raining tomorrow so the event goes ahead but well will need to see. Also pizza for dinner tonight. Big Grin
TB visit on all found caches. I would like to thank all CO's of the caches I found and for allowing them to bring me and the rest of the caching community enjoyment. Big Grin

Got up a bit late, but went for a drive anyway. We wore our masks near people, and in the petrol station, and waved from a distance at Smittengranny (we think!).

We found some movables and some trigs - the trigs will allow a few shots in the battleship game.

Thanks for this cache, Caughtatwork!

We've had this little guy since just before the Covid-19 situation forced a hard lockdown on the NW coast of Tassie. We're finally getting out and about caching again so found a new home for this one to continue it's journey

We needed a find today to fill a gap on our dragon zone calendar and this one was conveniently just off the highway on the way home from the supermarket. So it ticks a couple of boxes for what we're allowed to do now days, get essential supplies and do some exercise. We'll get this one back out again when we can. Thanks for the cache

I saw this trail of GCA caches appear about a month ago and have wanted to attempt it for quite a while. It ended up being a relaxing 3.5 hour drive around the country side. It’s nice to have a couple more GCA caches with a Big Grin on them. I found a few different dinosaurs and other different types of hides. All caches found today were quick finds and were left at its current location for the next finder to move along. I would like to thank all CO’s of the caches I found today and for allowing them to bring joy to me and the rest of the caching community. TFTC’s Big Grin

P.S. The cache has been left at above coordinates for the next finder to move on.

Found this one on the table at the event for Australia Day for the moveables. Thanks for the moveable which was one of 101 that made their way to Ebenezer from far away places to spend some time in the local winery before scattering to new places. Good luck on any further moves

The latest Geocaching Australia game runs from 01-Dec-2018 00:00:00 to 31-Jan-2019 23:59:59 AEST

For each qualifying geocache that you hide or find during the game period you will be offered the opportunity to click on a ground tile and reveal what lies beneath.

A moving cache, by nature, may have been moved since you last determined its location. It may have been picked up but not yet rehidden so it's considered 'in-transit'. There is no foolproof method of determining where a cache is simply by the log types that have been placed against the cache.

Headed up to Ebenezer with LuckyL10n to attend the Aussie Day event. 45 degree day made for a bit of a fun trip, however it was pleasant in the winery building. A good few hardy souls were in attendance as well as over 100 moveables. Some good conversation with cachers not met before and a good couple of hours was had by all. The trip home was a little different to what was expected but turned out ok....

Thanks to all the CO's for the caches...

Attended the 'Australia Day Moveable Event 2018' and came face to face with other like minded cachers, one being another lucky (luckyl10n) and 101 moveables in the area. Many thanks to the CO's who have published them over time and others who bought them together for the event.

After a failed mission to join the crew doing the ‘BLACK OPs - Carpe Noctem’ (GC32WN6) cache this weekend due to being unable to get time off work (on Friday and Saturday) and other commitments arising, Sad I did however sweet talk my way into having Sunday off. Smile This then lead me to take a look around and see what was available within my free day to make it a day out. After taking a look around the GC and GCA caches, I found 2 events on the same day close to each other and I decided on attending them both. Smile After this I took a look at what caches I could find along the way and made my trail to make it an enjoyable day out. Something I didn’t expect was, a FTF which was on cache GA13305. Big Grin This added to the fun. I would like to thank all the CO’s of the caches I found and for the fun and enjoyment I had while finding them. Big Grin

I spent the morning in the company of some incedible cachers from Canberra and Temora at an Event organised by Sol de Lune to enlighten us on the new GCA Game.

Masses of Movables appeared and were eagerly found but not moved by all present. Very Happy
