Out walking in the reserve tonight grabbing some caches and stretching the legs. Pulled in here and signed the log, only to have GLISS! prove that I had already signed it once before. Making sure I log it this time around so I don’t end up with my name in it again next time. Thanks for the cache.

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.

Wow, another GCA cache I found by accident! I was walking through this area recently and noticed a pile of rocks stacked at the base of this power pole out of the corner of my eye. I thought it was very strange as I knew there was no cache here, so explored and found this one! Ahuh there you go, a non-muggle accidentally finding a cache on another listing website Wink

Thanks Fitzy! Sorry for the late log, just remembered when I saw a photo of the log in my camera roll

This one was a quick find tonight with Nibletricecakes on our way to pick up a daily gc. This should tick off a research task for me. TFTC fitzy.

We parked in the area to pick up a nearby challenge cache and can never pass up a GCA cache find. The cache was located very quickly.

Thanks for the hide.

Decided to grab this one on the way home. Parked on the other side of the road (as I was heading east) and walked over. Cache found quickly and all OK.

Thanks

Couldn't have grabbed the others nearby and left this one. So back again this morning for a short walk in and easy find.

Saw this small collection of GA Caches right of the road on the way home so took a enjoyable short walk to get all of them.

A nice easy cache to find for those just starting their geocaching adventures to give some idea of where caches may be located and how they may be hidden - a short walk good for a young family and a cache that takes a little bit of work to find but is not too hard to locate.

Thanks to Fitzy_1965 for setting this up.

GrimRaider and I took the short walk in to grab this cache. All in good condition. My first find for the Christmas in July game. TFTC Smile

One of our first finds 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 Fitzy 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 nice easy find. Thanks

As I dropped off another cache nearby, a moveable, I then headed up to get this one. A nice simple one on the way home from work.

Thanks

While I wasn't planning to find this cache, I rode past it and thought "wait, there's a cache here somewhere"

Sure enough, I was 50m away from it. Quickly found. Thanks again Fitzy!

#GA1377 - 09:45; I was headed into the city this morning, so stopped off in a familiar area and took a short stroll to GZ for a quick find and sign. Much easier than the one in the gully further to the south. TFTC fitzy_1965 Very HappyClan Cerberus

Saw these new ones come out while away for the long weekend and fully expected they'd be found before I returned......but alas not. So Headed out today for a road trip around Black Mountain and had no problems making the finds.

Good to see a few more GCA caches out about. Thanks for the cache, along with the *FTF* fitzy. Very HappyVery Happy
