Description

This cache is part of QOGM 2019's Turd Trail along the Neverfail Road. We trust you enjoy a caching experience with a little difference.

I read an article called Embarrassing English Errors Ep17 – Turd & Third, and thought - "could have a bit of fun with that!"
Hence the development of this series.  It is just meant for a bit of fun.
All caches are actual cow pats which have been dried naturally, and coated with varnish for preservation. Please treat with care so others can enjoy the fun.


Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this cache of turd;
And all the trads that lour’d upon our mind
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.
Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths;
Our bruised Geeps hung up for monuments;
And now,–instead of mounting barbed steeds
To fright the souls of fearful T4s and 5s
We caper nimbly in an air-con Prada
To the lascivious pleasing of a 'found'.
But I,–that am not shap’d for sportive climbs,
I am determined to prove a villain,
And hate the idle pleasures of these ways,
Plots have I laid, inductions dangerous,
By drunken prophecies, libels, and dreams,
To set one cacher against the other
In deadly pursuit of turds fit for a King.

With sincere apologies to all Shakespeare lovers!

After a short hunt we were empty handed. Then Mrs y'stassie spotted a piece of bark just on the other side of the road work. On closer inspection it is identified as athe cache container. Despite its ordeal it is in good order. We signed the log and placed the container in a cluster of small trees covered by bark.

Thanks for another cache RoddyC. We are moving towards our goal

Full time nomads since 2013. Still tootling around the country trying to avoid Covid hotspots.

Today we headed out to complete the Heartland and Mailbox series. 250km round trip out of Blackall. We saw several graders, water trucks and rollers out on the roads. Also lots of cattle, Emu's with chicks, Kangaroos.and a white faced Heron. Very HappyVery Happy

Queensland Outback Geomuster 2019 trip to Blackall. Day 4. Today was my first day of organised events I joined Baby&MrsGopher, Au.fait and Trekker Trev. The highlight of the day was the series of caches in the morning with a unique flavor. I hope they eventually get published in one form or another. The afternoon was spent around Tambo before the evening get together at the pub. Two evening caches were visited before a longish drive home.

Thanks.

Early October, we attended the QOGM events in Blackall. As part of the fun, we did this Turd Degree. It was great, and we could not believe that in earlier times these containers were natural Turd.

It's a perfect camouflage in that area, and we loved it.

Could imagine how much work went into these containers! Awesome!

Does not matter who puts the first log in on this series. I hope all the Geocachers who found the original 16 are members or will join GCA to claim the golden smiley
for the series, especially the lucky people who were given the right to claim to find on individual hides. I was part of the placement team for the series and we had a laugh and a ball placing these.

Our group of 4 (3 teams) departed Blackall this morning in the chariot propelled by 4 pistons with one objective. That being to earn our Turd Degree Certificate.
This was our eleventh encounter and are collecting information to help us find the TTT Mystery. Richard was generous.
Great Camo. Very well done and a big thanks to those involved in the design, manufacture and placement.
