I didn't interpret the sign the same way as you, so I ended up at the wrong location (which does match the hint!), but nothing found, so I headed to the other location and made a find of the cache. Lots of dirt and rotting wood on the container, but cache was OK.

Thanks,

ClappingClan CerberusClan Cerberus After finding a nearby GC cache I did a cross country clamber before finding the track to take me up to the posted coordinates. From there I followed a series of roo pads towards the GZ. Monty#2 and Sam(sung) had me walking in circles for a while before I closed in on the cache. Although a corner of the lid has a very small nibbled hole in it, the contents were clean and dry especially the log that is enclosed in its own bag. TFTC SDL SL TNLPt.

GCA 1864. Found with minniek today.

I/We haven't done many GCA Multi's so when we saw this icon up here yesterday it was a quick decision to do it today. Grabbed the info required - calculated GZ - and then we wandered over for the nice find.

TFTC SDL !!

Fitzy and I spotted this Multi on the map when we were here yesterday and decided it was today's target.

Gathered the required info - calculated GZ - and wandered over for a nice quick find. Awesome ! Haven't done many GCA Multis.

Thanks SDL !!

Out and about on Mt Taylor and we stopped to collect the info for this one. Then a short walk to GZ. The cache was quickly found and all in good condition. Thanks Sol de lune

Mrs y'stassie enjoyed collecting the information needed to calculate the final coordinates for this multi. She also learned some interesting information about the flora and fauna of the reserve.

After finding another cache she headed towards gz for this one and soon saw a possible hide. She soon had a large container in hand and was able to sign the log. The sight is well away from the path and the many muggles who regularly use it.

The container and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for the cache Sol De Lune and for the insight into the plants and birds that inhabit the reserve. Unfortunately the birds were keeping out of sight.

so after getting the 50 trigs cache I decided to ignore the chill in the air and go for at least the first stage of this multi. The answers are gotten easily (although you have spelt the plant name incorrectly, it's only a single t not double t at the end). I realised it was not to much of a climb to get it so off I went.
took about 30 min or so. most of the time was playing with location settings on my phone to get the GPS to work. not that anyone reading this will care but it turns out I need to take it out of high accuracy and switch off a number of settings designed to make it more accurate.
Anyway it was a good hunt, not too cold and another smiley to add to my list.

#GA1152 - 14:15; After collecting a few other caches, I headed over to cross this one off the 'to do' list. I'd been keeping this one up my sleeve, saving it for an appropriate date to pick up another dragonZone trophy, but with a number of new caches emerging as a result of the Summer Scavenger Series, there was no need to keep this one in reserve. Took a wander up to the posted coords, calculated GZ and headed on over for a nice quick find and sign. TFTC Sol de lune Very HappyClan Cerberus

We parked in our 'usual' parking spot, made our way to the first coordinates and then soon were headed to the easy find at GZ. TFTC Sol de lune.

Rode up to the info board, read it all first, then read the cache. Coordinates derived, then rode/pushed/walked (I'm not telling) to the cache. Very Happy

871. Hi Sol.

Many apologies but it appears that I missed logging this one way back. Not sure how but it was during a run (figurative rather than literal) around this Mt.

TFTC and the addition.

Nice quick find on a hike up my closest mountain! About time I came up again, have been missing the views. Thanks for the cache SDL!

I was surprised how well concealed from muggles this was. TFTC Razz

PS I signed the log some time back but I have only started accessing the webpage today.

After spotting a few new GCA caches on the web site, I thought I would take a look. This was the second. The WP was soon sorted and I was off to GZ.
A nice little stroll to GZ and the goods were soon discovered in the fading light. Another blank log was soon signed for a *FTF*.
Thanks Sdl for the cache, a nice little multi.
