A quick find, a well chosen spot.
Swampy and I came back to plunder more of the NW coast over a long weekend. This is day 4, Swampy has gone home and we will be later today. As we stayed in Launceston last night, right across the road from here, it would be a crime to leave these unfound. This run has us finding both GC and GCA caches. So many caches, so little time.

Today we decided to target some caches in Launceston to get finds for the battleship games. In total we looked for 14 caches and found 12 with 2 dnfs. We had an eventful day touring through streets. Venturing to places we had never been to before.
This one was located with accurate coordinates. TFTC

Don't know why I looked in the trees here first, guess I was expecting a similar hiding place to the last one.
Sometimes caching instincts work but not in this case - luckily once I took notice of the GPS it took me straight to GZ where the cache was quickly found.
Thanks.

A Day out with Oldsaint finding some GCA caches for the new Blitz Event. The day was amazing, from snow to blue sky, from heavy showers to dry roads. One leach to report though!
Started the day at 6am, although Oldsaint had driven from Huonville by then. The drive north was interesting, and even though Symons Plains had a race day on, nobody was there at 8am
Proceeded directly to our main target, the Sail Boat Geoart, and completed about 9 before the heavy shower set in, so we decided we could drive to the last during the shower and work our way back. At the last we we greeted by a large amount of snow on the sides of the road, and throughout the tree. We occasionally got "snow balled" from trees above as we were caching. Great day out.
According to the rules of Blitz
Blitz is a dragonZone encounter where you find as many unique valid dragonZone geocaches as you can during a set period of time in an attempt to earn a reward.
Rewards are in the form of dragonZone points but are only awarded if the entire team of geocaches who are playing dragonZone combine to exceed the total number of finds required.
If the entire team of geocachers who are playing dragonZone reach or exceed the total number of finds required then at the end of the game you will receive a number of dZ points based on your percentage contribution of unique finds.
For example:
Make 1% of the total finds, receive 1% of the total rewards points.
Make 5% of the total finds, receive 5% of the total rewards points.
Make 10% of the total finds, receive 10% of the total rewards points.
dZPoints will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
The more unique geocaches you find the more you are rewarded.
Geocaches you find during the game must have been hidden and published prior to the game announcement.

I saw this series published a few days ago and waited until today when I had an appointment in the area. I enjoyed the walk around the reserve so thank you Hilberts for the cache.

After visiting friends in George Town, we came back into Launceston to look for caches in the recently published Ethen's Graveyard Dash series. When we arrived, we were relieved to see that the main gates remained open until 19:00 which gave Mr y'stassie just under an hour to drive around the western end of the cemetery whilst the other member of the team concentrated on the reserve at the eastern end and the track on the Opossum Road side.
Familiarity with the style of hide, an obvious hide location and accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. There being no other entries in the logbook, we will claim {FTF} at 18:35. Thanks Hilberts for the cache and the series.
