#GA2469 - 13:05; Day one of a caching mission in the Blue Mountains with Sol de lune. After an early start in Canberra, we collected a few of the newer caches along the highway before we reached the foot of the mountains and started the major part of the mission, to collect GCA caches to help us meet some dragonZone trophy requirements. We had enjoyed a great start having picked up a few caches already, including the 10K series, as we now headed for the hills. Managed to collect all but one piece of the information we needed, but managed to improvise to get a set of coords before heading off in search of the cache. Once we reached our calculated GZ, we spotted something which fitted the hint, but had no luck. Spotted something similar nearby and soon after had the cache in hand. Once the log was signed and the cache replaced, we were off around the corner for another. TFTC phlphotos

Up with LuckyL10n for a 2 day trip around the mountains and after grabbing GA10000 we continued up the mountain and this was our next stop. Walk around found most of the info but did go into ask about some 'sisters'. Not much help there, so headed towards a calculated GZ and after a bit of improvising, the cache was in hand.
Soon had our names in the log book and then it was back to the car and off to the next one....just around the corner.
Thanks Phlphotos....always enjoy a good historical multi. Thanks for showing us the area.

GA cache #100
Living nearby and having been here many times before we did some research at home for one of the phone numbers. As MrT is in the Blue Mountains SES we already knew that phone number! We knew where the rest of the information would be so didn't need the waypoint coords. A quick find of the rest of the info required and sat to work out the coords. Info entered on the GPS and headed to GZ. I should have trusted the GPS more as I spotted a likely place and searched there. When I found nothing I looked around and spotted another location - more where the GPS said! Soon had cache in hand. Signed log and returned as found. Thanks for the fun multi phlphotos.

Hmm, I couldn't actually find the first wpt as I too think the coords are out. I ended up asking the people in the office where I would find info related to these people, they pointed me in the right direction. In fact I found none of the coords were really accurate and couldn't find any of the things mentioned in the questions, so I ditched the coords, and just hunted around by looking at everything. Managed to find most of the information but as Toriaz said found nothing about the question in F. That remains a mystery and even the people in the office had no info.
I walked off in the general direction and found a perfect object matching the hint, but it was bare, almost giving up I spied another object and found myself a cache.
This is a nice little multi but I think all the coords need some tweaking.

Mum wanted to find a cache tonight, so we came here after she picked us up after work. We had ice-cream after we found the cache.
Found this one with the Imp & Monkey Girl tonight.
We were confused by C,not knowing if we were to count from left or right, then realised it was the least significant digit & that it didn't matter too much if we were a few metres out.
Then we were unable to find the information for F at all. Again, it was a least significant digit, so we knew we would be 10 metres out at the most.
So with rough coordinates in hand, we set of to look. We found an object that matched the hint at the first set of coordinates investigated, but failed to find anything. Entered some new numbers, and found another object matching the hint. This time the object had a cache within.
Thanks

in the area this morning so a recheck of my figures from the last visit. With a find of one number being out I punched in my correct GZ coordinates and headed to the area it was pointing. A find quickly made once at GZ. Cache retrieved, signed log (dry) before replacing as found. My first GA multi is completed

With a CO maintenance on GR# Licence it was but a few steps to continue with this multi. Found eventually, though the GZ hide drew some blood (take care extracting and replacing). TFTC

This was fun. I went walking to find it without doing the work for it...BAD CACHER! But I didn't find it. So I went back and found all the info without using the waypoints. It's all there nice and close by...you just have to find each one. And there it was...close to where I was looking earlier...but I earned the find in the end.

A beautiful Friday in the mountains is only truly great if there is a cache involved.

I had a little trouble with WP1 and WP2 as I had the coordinates a little off. But after that it was a fun walk and explore of a site I have been to many times.

This is how it should be done. Great cache!
Interesting area, easy stroll around, and good historical interest.
Very nicely presented cache with FTF certificate and swaps.
Can't fault this one . . . an excellent first go at geocaching.
FTF shared with rogerw3.
Took the FTF certificate. LNSL.
Many thanks to phlphotos for a relatively rare GCA multi!
Five thumbs up . . .
