Grabbed this one after doing a CITO nearby, unfortunately the CITO didn't come this far as there was a pile of house hold rubbish over GZ.
Thanks for the Cache RedPaw64

On my way to the Christmas events with 6Hinemoa2. We had a great days caching and socialising with all the other cachers from near and far. A lot of laughs and thankfully the rain didn't dampen the enthusiasm of any of us.

Just finished at the CITO down the road and now onto find some caches. There was rubbish dumped all around here and perhaps the CITO should have been here. Wasn't sure if I would find this one but persistence paid off.

thanks for the cache RedPaw64

The Adventure:
Was in the area after running some errands and when they were finished I thought some caching was in order. Looked at my phone and found a suitable one to start. Hit GZ and placed my car between Fisherman further down and where the arrow was pointing. After a quick search I found the cache. Took it back to my car to sign the log, when I heard another car. I looked up and saw another car swing behind me, thought maybe other cachers, but no, a guy got out and decided to walk his dog, while his wife waited in the car in view of GZ. After 10 minutes they left and I replaced the cache.

The stolen car mentioned by TrailRunning has been removed, but the tyre drag marks are still there.

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing


Thank you for the cache.

Having taken the day off I'd planned to grab some caches in the Geelong North area, and was happy to hear that Rebel had also taken half a day off. Meeting at the end of the Eastern Freeway we headed over the Bolte and Westgate to gain access to the rich rewards of an un-visted and un-plundered area. We had a great day of caching with my tally 60 Finds / 2 DNF's. We will be back next week to do it all over again, as I've solved all the puzzles in the Geelong area and it's not time to collect. A stoleen car at GZ was a bit eerie.
