Last one for the trail! Yay so glad to have it complete. There were a few possible GZ’s here but the coords cooperated and we soon had GZ narrowed down. Thanks for the cache.

Many stumps to choose from. Another Battleship shot. TFTC

Travelling from Griffith NSW to the coast I decided to stop in Yass for a bit of Geocaching. My focus was Sui_001 and GCA caches. I spent so much time on Sui's I didn't get all the GCA ones I was hoping for. Unfortunately I have my caravan attached again now so can't really geocache today (20th).

I enjoyed doing a few quick easy ones with the GCAs. Thanks.

With the country going into lockdown & meat / chicken / rice & dunny paper in short supply I figured it was time to go for a caching run & drop of some movables & complete some caches, needed to clear my head as job insecurity is of real concern & I had enough of the bullshit – so cache on – this was the 15th 1 completed after dropping off the movables. I very much enjoyed your caches today & the drive that it provided – many thanks for showing the area to me – cache found nicely - being the last 1 of your caches today found for me it was the best 1 as it ticked all the boxes for me – a nice drive in the country that brings you to a nice spot for a coffee / morning tee or lunch – nice to pull off the road into the bust setting - TFTC / TFTH / SL

With a day off in hand, I wanted to take the opportunity to go caching which had been decided a few days ago. This morning, I opened up my emails and I noticed that there was a new cache which oddly didn’t have any finds on it. What was even weirder, this new cache is in the heart of FTF hound country. Given I was already planning on caching in that area, I thought I would change up my driving route, so I could give myself the best chance of make the FTF. I knew I had about 2hrs of driving to get to GZ, so I drove in hope that I would get there before anyone else. I left Temora about 7:50am, arriving at the GZ parking area at 9:37am (a little less than 2hrs) and at 9:40am had the CIH. But, was it a FTF? I opened the cache and next the log-book. After a quick flip through it became clear I was the FTF! Once I signed and replaced the cache, I turned around and was greeted by an amazing view of the area. Next, I decided to find some newer caches that has popped up since 2016 and avenge some past DNF’s around the area. I made 10 finds before lunch and after lunch I decided on hitting the ‘Tanso’ trail plus a few lone caches along the way, which added another 14 finds to the total. Only three DNF’s, well two and one NA. All found caches today, ended up being quick finds which left me wondering how, I could DNF the caches last time. I felt a bit like a [:o)]. TB visit on all found caches today. I would like to thank all CO’s of the caches I found today and for allowing them to bring joy to me and the rest of the Geocaching community. TFTC’s

A quick find while staying in Yass while heading for the clear waters Mega TFTC

Great to pull off the road here and have a bite to eat in the shade. Nice little hide. TFTC

Joolay and I had set our sights on the caches out here to earn more points for the current game. Most were relatively easy finds, maintenance was done on some but all logs were signed. Thanks for the caches. Cache was returned to its hidey hole.

This cache was missing, we looked we searched we dug to no avail. As we had CO permission we have replaced the cache for others to find.

Its great to have this GA trail to do today while playing the latest GA game.

No luck here for us today. Had a good look in and around the object including digging in the middle but no dice. Maybe next time.

Pop out today to look and it was gone!! So there is a new one the it's spot.
I also dump lots off Ga's near by

Ok I'll go out on the weekend and sort this sorry it has taking me so long.
I might even find a few new spots so keep watch

A plan was hatched with Sol de lune and albida33 to do a caching run to Yass over Christmas/New Year break. Various commitments meant it didn't come to pass until today. We headed off at a quite civilised hour and collected a couple of caches near Murrumbateman on the way through. We had collected our first GC cache in Yass when we headed on a detour to grab a couple in this series which were missed for various reasons on previous visits to the area. I was the only one yet to make a find on this cache and sadly that remains the case at the end of an otherwise successful day. I started the search solo, but after a while, the two previous finders joined in, also without success. I hope it's still there, but not looking good. Thanks anyway, nice spot Tanso

Yass Day trip August 2015. The day took me up Cookes Hill road for my second series of caches up this way. A fun day with good caches all round.

Thanks
Albida

Probably the best location of the series. I really like this spot in amongst the trees and rocks. I wonder what this unfenced area is for (stock route?)

Thanks

Out for a night caching run to grab some caches out this way. A pleasant evening for the drive and a quick grab here tonight.

Thanks Tanso

Quick find with Black Bunny in the dark. Nice evening for a drive. Thanks, Tanso!

A nice drive in the country with the CO to grab some caches for me and check on a few things for her. The weather was freezing and I found myself entertaining her at times while looking for her hides. Cant believe although I provided the transport, she said I was on my lonesome for the searching. I got the job done here and we were off to the next one.
Yeah, the last one out here.......................or is it?????

Good to go ! Renamed to make it easy logging

Was texting with the CO last night (doesn't sound good does it???) and worked out that something was a little a miss here. Still I checked these co-ords while I was here and the cache was found...as per the hint. The stump is about 6 foot in diameter, 3 foot high and can't be missed. The cache is sitting in a little gap towards the top....

So, I signed the log, *FTF*, and headed off for the next one.

Certainly needs to be checked, when JAC & BB found another one that has the same co-ords as this one, but missed this one.....

Thanks Tanso....over to you now.

I have to go and look at this guy sorry all

There were no stumps anywhere near my GZ on this one. I must have made an error.
