Logs
As we rode from #33 to this one the rain got heavier. So frustrating as we wanted to get so many more of these done today.
Luckily here Mr Beetle chose the right rock straight away. Double containers are a great idea, especially in this terrain.
A decision was made to turn around here before we got drenched. The weather looked quite ominous and there were some very black clouds closing in. Would you believe that by the time we got back to the road crossing the rain had stopped and the sun was shining again? And by the time we got back to the van near #16 we had completelly dried out!
Thanks ICYBEETAS.

Mr T from Tassie Trekkers and Mr W decided to tackle this well set up series of caches on the NETRTrail. It was a great day to be out riding. The better halves dropped them off at 10.15 at No. 56 and collected them at No. 01 five hours later. The effort in setting this series up is appreciated as well as the information added to each cache page. The well detailed hints were appreciated. TFTC

Today Mr T and Mr W (whitewebbs) tackled this trail and thoroughly enjoyed the journey. Loading up the trailer with their pushbikes, Mrs T & Mrs W dropped them off at #56 and collected them 5 hours later in Scottsdale.
