Now I'm running out of things to say, so thanks for another in this simplest of hides.

#GA3932 - 17:50; After a couple of days in St Arnaud for the Mega, we set off towards home this morning to take a roundabout route to Echuca where we decided to make camp for the night. After collecting a few caches around the town and checking into our accommodation, we arrived at the CO's place and soon spotted 'the big box'! Sdl and I split the signing duties and we had not been underway too olong when we were joined by the CO. Exchanged some geobanter as we finalised the signing of this 'power trail'. Nice to meet you Wazza and thanks for the many caches in and around Echuca which have made for an enjoyable visit. TFTC WazzaAndWenches

On the way home from the St Arnaud Mega with LuckyL10n and stopped in Echuca for a few caches...in this case, 25 all in one spot !!

Arrived at GZ and soon had the BIG box in hand. I sat on the lawn and started filling out the log books and a few minutes later the CO came out to say hello. Continued logging, not in any hurry and took around 20 minutes to finish the task. Chatted with the CO about all things caching and we then headed off for a couple more before heading to hotel were we staying. (Tip for visitors overnighting in Echuca.....head over to the Shamrock Hotel and try one of their 101 Parmas...you won't be disappointed. A great feed, with a few beers as well.)

Thanks W&W...a neat little series and bit of fun.

One of the main reasons for us visiting Echuca on this trip was to try to clean up some of the caches by this CO, this collection in particular. We found our way to GZ and we were just trying to make sure we had the right bush beside a letterbox when the CO sprang us! We chatted to him while working our way through logging each container in the collection and then repacking everything to fit. A great way to encourage cachers to target an area! Thank you for the caches

One of high priorities for the first day of this trip was to visit this set of GCA caches. Accurate coordinates and an obvious cache container led to a quick find. After studying the packing arrangements of the smaller caches, we started on the task of signing each logbook. With that task completed we repacked the large container and returned it to it's hide location. Thanks WazzaAndWenches for large box of regular caches.

We have been somewhat otherwise occupied and not done a lot of caching in the past 18 months, but today was too good a day to be outdoors.

We were interstate earlier and brought a cache requiring some attention home to the CO, so what better opportunity to deal with ABOB.

We developed a bit of a system of opening, stamping, resealing and placing back in place whilst talking to the CO. Ok, so I got out of sync a few times , but we got there in the end.

Thanks WazzaANdWenches for the cacheplacing the caches and your enthusiasm for keeping our geocaching australia site alive.

Signed this log book while on an overnight stay in Echuca. 1 of many. TFTC

Mr Morris has been laid up for a few days post surgery so this is about the limits of his caching enthusiasm and ability. He found a cool spot to sit while Lady Morris logged away. A fun idea - thanks for all the caches.

Thanks WazzaAndWenches, it was a lovely morning for a drive, and Muggle Hubby didn’t take too much convincing
