Second day of caching in Canberra this weekend. Weather looks a lot better then yesterday. With that said the bike came out if the car so I didn't drag it along the whole way for nothing. Lots of caches found again, thanks to all for hiding. Also made good progress towards a few goals.

Final cache for the afternoon, cache was located very quickly after the GPSr stopped jumping around - we are blaming the incoming storm. Now to head back to camp and avoid the rain.

Thanks for the hide.

Day 8 Mega Road trip.
A Tassie contingent was out and about searching out caches and this was one we found. A nice stroll around the the base of the Mountain. We caught up with another group of cachers on our way. TFTC

It took me a while to find this one (started with the wrong log), but as I was about to leave took one more look at another log at a different angle and spotted the cache. All good in the end.

Thanks,

Another small diversion this morning. All quiet here today....love walking through bushland when we are so close to suburbia. Took a few goes to find the right location but made it in the end.

Found thanks to the hint. Checked there on first go and couldn't find it luckily the hinte lead be back for a second look.

A nicely set up cache - this took a little searching to find once at the coordinate site and some careful searching of a number of potential hiding places. Another good site for those new to geocaching, but look for GA9949 first if this is your first outing and want to start with the more accessible geocache.

Thanks to Sol de Lune for setting this up - nice work!

946. A short walk from the carpark and the first cache of the day was in hand. Looking at some training to get around to finishing the toughest challenge so picked this hill to train on today.

TFTC Sol and the port.

Our first find for the day on a day out with McPhan walking most of the Black Mountain Reserve, from north to south and west to east. Thanks Sol de Lune for the hide. By the way, I misplaced my black gps case somewhere during the day and in spite of coming back looking for it I've not located it. If anyone finds it, I'd be pleased to get it back thanks.

A short walk from the carpark. A bit challenging to find but got it okay. Thanks

My apologies.....I forget about the DNF's on this one.....

Checked it out this morning and the cache was certainly missing. Have replaced it and all is good again.

Cache on.....

GCA 1248 - 14013. Found in the hands of SDL as he prepared the replacement of a MIA Cache.

I too failed to find this one.

Today we made the most of the sunshine and spent a large part of the day locating caches that would help us achieve several of our personal goals.
We enjoyed our walk in the reserve even tough it was chilly out of the sun. We spent quite some time searching for the cache with no luck. We tried logical places and even those that didn't seem at all logical . No luck so we reluctantly we left the area and will have to log a DNF.
Thanks for placing a cache in this area Sol De Lune we really enjoyed our walk in this reserve. enjoyed the bush in this area F

Grabbed today with Ju and her mugged BF while gnoming and undertaking a maintenance run. TFTC.

needed to get out of the office and this was nearby. TFTC!

An easy find after a short walk. Good to have this one cleared from the books.

Thanks for the cache Sol.

Grabbed while out picking up some nearby gnomes. We have been meaning to grab this one while in the area but time did not permit.

Today there was no excuse.

Thanks Sol de lune.

I mosied on over here after a day of work in town for a nearby mystery cache and decided to give this one a shot on the way. A nice quickie at 16:15 and it was off to the mystery stash.

Found 9:35pm. I am now officially becoming obsessed going out in this rainy weather. I first headed out to Mt. Painter started to get some details on a multi GC, to then locate along with a GCA and maybe a couple of others. But I then found that access was prohibited. Shyte! So now what! I decided to head back to where I stay and sleuth out other possibilities to keep my GC streak going and find a nearby GCA. Then onto the radar came this cache and for my GC there was HochSprung on the other side, since I had already prepped and dressed warm for Mt Painter this wasn't going to be any different. To be on the safe side I decided to try and find out what areas were not affected by the cull and confirmed that both sides were not on the list after a lot of google searching to get the info. I then headed out here first doing HochSprung on the other side.
Now for this cache headed off down the track with the view it looked pretty much like it was in that area. I then found I ended up going back towards the fence. Bugger 4m on the other side, climb over, now on the other side is when I spotted something. Ok well now that was silly. Signed the log and replaced cache as found. Note the contents were dry, can't say the same for the external.
I headed back down the track to get back to the geovehicle. Nice area to explore.
Thanks for the cache.

Grabbed this one while in the area after the Pi and Pie event.I missed it on my first couple of passes, but eventually nabbed it where the GPSr was telling me it was.
Thanks Sol for the cache.

Found on Pi Day after attending the Pi and Pie event. GrimRaider and I joined up with The S's to enjoy a walk and grab a few caches. This cache had us off to a good start. Thanks again SDL

Grabbing a cache on the way home from work and this was convenient. Then I realised it was a GCA and we still had to grab a GC cache - doh! Luckily this was a very pleasant find in a beautiful spot. TFTC Sol de lune

Final cache found on a lovely day out caching. Parked nearby and then took a short stroll around this familiar area to GZ, for a very quick find. Lovely place. TNLNSL. TFTC SdL!

It seems a local cacher has been getting out and about again, and we all benefit from a few new caches. After collecting another cache nearby, I headed over here. This one blends in really well. I ran into a friend riding in the bush on the way back to the car. You can't escape on any day around this town. Thanks

#GA267 - 19:45; This was the sixth of seven on an afternoon run. I was planning to leave these ones until January to get me up to my 15 for the month, but what the heck, they are new and they are there to be logged, so I did a loop from Gungahlin to Sutton, along Sutton Road to Jerrabomberra and on to Hume and home again via Black Mountain. I'd cleared the caches I had on the 'to do' list for the afternoon and decided a short detour on the way home was in order to grab a couple more. Parked not far from GZ and headed over, only to find muyself on the wrong side of the fence. Scaled the heights and the batteries I'd just put in the GPSr died, must have been the flat pair Remembered the hint and continued the search, eventually spotting the tell tale sign of the hide. Signed the log and headed back to the geomobile for fresh batteries to make for the last find of the day! TFTC Sol de lune
