I was in the area, so decided to go for a walk at the Pinnacle and grab these. Long grass and boggy in places, but managed to find most of these caches.
This one took ages for me to find and turned out to be very well hidden.
Thanks

This one took a looooong time, spent about 15 minutes looking for a hanging cache believing I was blind as usual, eventually read the logs and focused on the ground still took a while in the dark to make the find after 20 minutes.
Keen to get out on such a glorious sunny day after all the grey weather of late. But the sun sets early so a more local walk was needed. Had planed to keep this for a nice walk with Wilma and Hoppy but couldn't resist the a the perfect walk for today. Great new loop of caches here thank you SDL!

#GA5318 - 11:50; Headed out on a mission around the Pinnacles this morning to collect some GC caches for the daily challenge. Decided to give this series a run while I was in the area and maybe get on the board in the game. The GPSr wasn't playing ball this morning and was changing its mind often. Checked the hint for this one, but no cache! Checked earlier logs and searched some more before spotting the cache at ground level. Couldn't see the attachment mechanism, so replaced as found after signing the log. TFTC Sol de lune

Out with GLISS! trekking along the wet ground hunting for caches. Found this one down low but in good condition. Thanks for the cache.
I managed to find this series of caches between two showers this afternoon. They were all found to be in good condition. This was the second cache I went for and it took me longer than it should have. It wasn’t until I read a previous log stating that it is no longer hanging, that I found it. After stamping the log I returned it where I had found it. Thanks for placing this cache Sol de Lune. Another cache means another firing shot and I wonder if I can find that elusive battleship with this one or the next five shots that I will have.

Pleasant walk on a lovely winter's day. Lots of people, lots of unleashed dogs - glad we left ours at home.
No problems noted with caches. All clean and in place. Thanks for placing and maintaining these, and for bringing us here.

Out for a stroll with Just a cacher to grab a cache or two and dropped in on this series.
A quick grab on a busy walk after reading that this one is on the ground now.
hanks for the cache Sol de lune.

I did not find this cache 'hanging' as per the hint and I circled the trees a few times before I checked previous logs. Cache found and returned to where the previous logger had found it - all in good condition. Thanks again - I had a lovely morning walking the trails. Great to see the theme match the current game too. Now to see if I can hit any of those darn Battleships! Thanks again

Almost found them all. Mrs Y'stassie thought her nemesis had got her again as she circled the area again and again but no minehunter could be seen. Then she looked down and spotted something green in the longish grass. Closer inspection of the object showed it to be the cache container. After spending some time looking for the attachment she put the container under a small log close to where she found it.
Thanks for this cache and a great series Sol De Lune. You might like to check on this one because it seems to have been blown out of its hide.
