Logs
I somehow missed that these caches were here (don't check GCA too often), but while searching for a nearby GC discovered them. The puzzle was straightforward (although not quite sure what the numbers actually mean?), and the find was fine once I found the right path. The container is in good condition in its home (TNLNSL), even though it has been a long time between drinks - GCA mysteries suffer from two problems that impact find-rates i.e. being on GCA, and being a mystery.

Summer is here and it's time to crack on with another game. I spent last night solving a few puzzles to collect on route to the GCNSW Christmas Party event. First stop was here and the cache was quickly located in great condition despite resting since January. Cheers!

I had been given a heads up these 3 were being published, so once I saw them come online it was time to head out. Third to find on all 3 of them today is some awkward heat, luckily these 3 weren't too far from the parking and relatively flat unlike some I tackled later on. Nice quick find, thanks PPE.

Wow - a new bunch of caches that I can ride my mountain bike to - I haven't done that for a while - I like it !!! Riding back out was a nice challenge too
After looking around a few logs I added my name to one.
Now to figure out how I can turn this into a scavenge...

FTF this desert frog, a rare species indeed but in a cool spot. A few more valuable points for our State team so we don't drift too far down the ladder. I think I got the date wrong in the log, but it was very early for me. Liked the hints. Thanks PPE.
