Davinells had a plan it involved a dirty weekend in and around Nambour, Eumundi, Cooroy, Pomona and Imbil Concentrating on the off-road vehicle attribute means were in Miranda going places only Miranda can We only had to refer to the owners manual once during a huge day of caching thats a success Im sure theres a carwash in NambourDavinells has been banging on about these caches forever, so its good to be finally here We were forced to walk 80 plus metres through the bush as one of the roads on our map is no longer there what are friends forThanks dahumbug my coffee from Pomona is still warm, although it is no longer completely inside its cup
November is the month for off-road caches so Peppa and I have come to the northern Sunshine Coast area for some 4-wheel-driving fun. With the prediction of lots of rain in the lead up to today, Miranda was packed with all kinds of recovery gear, most of it still in its original packaging.The evil series has been on my to-do list for a few years so I was very happy to be finally here. Having a great time bumping our way along the power line track, maybe we should have put Peppas coffee in a sippy cupWe drove past the first road in thinking theres be a secondthe maps liepulled up and decided to walk the 80m through the foliage before emerging into the track we should have driven down. A quick find at GZ before making our way back to the car. Tftc Scrub Bull and Scrub BullFind #4763
When we were at the Rutherglen Mega, I spent a lot of time logging each cache. So, today I am trialling a template for logs.
It’s been a lovely blue day for our forest stumps adventure.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache Scrub Bull

Scrub Bull I found your cache Bryophyta on 27/3/2023, 3:00 pm. This is my find 4877 and find # 5 today. Found it after a brief search. Placed a new log sheet in a snap lock bag. Thanks for the cache, mate! TNSLLN
Nice hide, the container is still in good condition but had a lot of water inside and the log was soaked. TFTC
On our exploration of this area today, we did most of the day on foot. At various times we separated and went off on our own. For this one Mrs Domsky began her walk from a nearby Junction while Mr Domsky drove off to another one, with a plan that their walk would meet somewhere in the middle.
This one was found quickly, although the logbook is extremely wet. We managed to add our name to the log book, however we had no extra supply of bag or paper to help this one along.
It will need some maintenance in order to make sure it stays dry in the future.
Thanks Scrub Bull

Such pretty moss.
I guess the forest has grown a little around here somewhat increasing the terrain over the many years since this cache was placed.
Back then i was living deep entrenched in the himalayas. Wish i'd known of geocaching back then.
Thanks scrub bull for another entertaining hide.
Logs damp and could do with a silica gell and double bagging i reckon.

A bit of a bush bash and a surprise at GZ - the cache was lying on the ground and the lid was not on properly which resulted in a lot of water getting in.
Replaced the cache in the best spot I could find so that it wouldn't fall out.

Areas all closed off due to harvesting, turned around at the road closed signs so couldn't even get close. Hopefully GZ is ok!
Day 3 of our weekend geocaching adventure with RoddyC, hatzofff and Snickersallan, we are continuing our adventure by 4WD today. Hubby came up for the day and is driving us around the caches in this area.
Unfortunately the hope for dry tracks were dashed by the storm that went through the area last night. Most tracks were still accessible but did make for an interesting drive. Our 4WD is quite capable and hubby a great driver so no problems.
Being a Sunday, we were able to access an area close to this cache. Very apt description of where to look. A bit damp but still able to sign.

This being our last day of our stay in the lovely Pomona area and hoping the heavens are not going to open as they had done so last night. Turned out to be a nice but cloudy day and our mission was to complete the EVIL series and a few other caches along the way.
So that is what a real didgeridoo looks like!, found easily due to the good hint. Lots of logging in the area close by but lucky no workers on a Sunday to bother us.

Our final day on the Sunny Coast is around Pomona, looking mainly at the EVIL series of six caches and any others this inclement weather will permit.
Despite harvesting operations and being it being a Sunday, we were able to drive reasonably close to GZ.

Just because an event was cancelled, doesn't mean we cancel our weekend. Now what can we do. Today is 4WD. Set off into the evil forest hoping that the heavy downpour last night won't make it too difficult.
Nice quick find. Bit wet. Safe from harvesting.

I contacted GeoNayfee and said I was looking at doing the evil series of caches at Pomona and a couple as we passed. It’s an early morning trip as I want to be home by mid-afternoon, not a big day, but we are going to have to leave early. Yeah sounds good and with a leave pass granted we were off. A 4 am start for me and a pickup along the way saw us arrive in Pomona by 6.30 am. To keep my cache a day and my trad a day challenges going we picked up a couple along the side of the road first. A short stop for some breakfast and then we were off caching the evils or so we thought.
A wrong turn into the wrong forest saw us doing some 4 wheel driving on some very turned up tracks and then, oh shoot, we were stuck. With all the rain and mud there was no way of getting up that hill in the clay…. 2 hours later with the ruts filled in and the centre mounds dug up, we finally got out, only to find the next issue ahead and then the next. 3 and a half hours later we were finally out and back on the right path. Hmm so much for the early caching day.
OK, then the day picked up and we were off collecting all 6 of the evil series and a few trads in the area as well. It was a fun filled day, I can see why the names of the caches came about, that landscape in certain parts was just pure evil. Plants that reached out and grabbed you, grass that was 6 foot tall, trees falling beside us, vines with 2 inch long thorns and then there was the walking in creek beds and water crossings; what an adventure.
All in all it was a good day, I think I made it home around 630 pm, hmm early day lol. Thank you for the puzzles and the caches, most are still in good condition with some needing a little attention of broken lids or damp log books. I have given 3 favourite points to certain caches, thank you.

Chamad got in contact with me yesterday to see if I had any plans for today, which I didn't, but I wasn't sure if my partner had anything planned so I had to double check with her since she likes to make plans at the last second, but luckily I got the all clear from her and was able to tag along with Chamad for an epic adventure up to Pomona. Huh, where the hell is that? I had to ask where that was because I've never heard of the place before, so I checked to see where we were going. "Wooow! That's a decent trek! But with most of the target caches being off road we decided to take Chamad's beast because my little Broom Broom wouldn't make it over a tiny pebble on a good day.
The day started extremely early and I'm NOT a morning person so it was rather difficult to get out of bed at that time (4:30am), but after some food and a decent sized coffee I felt more alive and ready for the day ahead. I meet Chamad at my local shopping centre, left my car and we made our way to Pomona.
Our target caches for the day were the Evil series and wow, they were evil, the whole area was evil. Getting bogged for several hours, walking through spider webs and getting whipped in the face by strange plants that cut up my face. Yeah.. It's an evil place that's for sure, we also picked up several trads along the way as we made our way around the area.
All in all, despite the blooded face and getting bogged it was a great day out today. At times it looked like it was going to rain, but thankfully it didn't, the tracks were already soaked with water, so we didn't really need anymore.
Thank you for placing these caches for us to enjoy. Some were more evil then others, but we thoroughly enjoyed the experience here today.

Today I conquered the Evil series. I was chatting to another geocacher last weekend. Was told they weren’t to hard to solve. To back that up, I started solving one of them when we were talking. A few minutes later had it solve. Then I just started laughing. She look at me to see what was funny. I told her I just finished solving it.
4 days later had finished all 6. But that’s just me, 3 of them were just causing me problems. I was using the wrong solver program. Now that was the easy part.
I check will Grannysmith1947 if she would like to come along us usually she said yes. We bought along Miss Millie. Maybe we shouldn’t it turn out to be a National Park whoops .
So the day was planned to pickup 5 traditional and 6 mystery, found fist traditional at 8.40am and the last mystery was found at 1.40pm. One we had to MAF because that one was causing us problems.
Oh, that wait awhile caused us a lot of pain. I am glad that I read some of the logs. I went up with long pants on. But should had wore long sleeve to. And maybe a helmet as well. I came away with scratches behind my ear. Ouch.
I will not be going back. Lucky I have a 4wd because I needed it with all the wet tracks.
After them we grab two letterbox so that now 50 I have collected. Now only have one letterbox left on the Northside of Brisbane a few Southside and all clear up to north of Gympie. . And I cleanup two DNF I had. So 15 caches for the day.
Sorry for a generic post.
Cache a day to keep the doctor away, or is it to keep me sane. No it’s to keep my streak alive. Scrub Bull TFTC *444* streak. *2708* Finds

Enjoyed our drive through the forest today finding caches as we went. This was our next find.
After reading the hint we were looking for something a little... smaller Never-the-less, we found the cache.
The log is still a bit damp but okay to sign. Otherwise all is good here.
Thanks heaps for this cache Scrub Bull.

A little bush bash in the forest and another cache. Log book has been wet but just a little damp now still ok for signing. TFTC
Coords were spot on for this cache. Lei was enjoying the scenery while I found this cache. Thanks for the fun
We could have driven this one in the 2wd but walked anyways. Always love to see another part of this forest, it’s so diverse. The geohub said either this cache has had extreme cache creep or the road we were on was a new addition since it was placed - because GZ was definitely not 75m in. We walked further in and on our return followed the other road where we could see a pocket of new growth so suspect this might have been the work of forestries. TFTC Scrub Bull

Heading north today to clean up the Evil series in Yurol State Forest, knock over a milestone in the process and then clean up at a local CITO. I got a nice early start - a few caches around Cooroy , some great coffee then I hit Yurol State Forest. I still needed a few caches to make my milestone align. This was the first one.
I ended up parking about 150 metres away. At GZ, the phone was bouncing around, but thankfully the location was obvious. The log book is a little damp. All in good order. Thanks Scrub Bull

Driving down here, it was nice to see we only had to venture a short way off track here for this one - that meant little to no wait a while to contend with! I charged on in to this, while the boys took care of other business, and cache was in hand before either of them had caught up. Unfortunately the cache was quite full of water, so a little dahumbug maintenance was put in to play, before the cache was popped back in its hidey hole.

Out with vennfamily and vegan cachers today for a bit of bush caching.
We parked about 100m away which we thought was pretty good, but VC suggested that we could get closer, but we chose to the ignore the ramblings of the old man
.
So after about 70m of not too bad bush bashing we came across a 4WD track, again we chose to ignore VC as he said something along the lines of I told you so.
Arrived at GZ and I decided to look one way, vennfamily the other, but it turns out we both walked past it at the start. Doh!
Finally we had the cache in hand. Log signed and replaced as found.

I have had the Evil series solved for some time and needed two of them to complete the second loop of my D/T grid. Today was the day that I decided to head up and find them. Vegan Cachers, although having done the series previously, offered to join me and, at the last minute, nikid1 announced her availability to join us as well. We got through the target caches in quick time while having a lot of fun and even managed to grab a few bonus caches on the way home.
We parked on the side of the road about 100m from this cache and Mr VC mentioned that there might be another track that would take us closer. We apparently weren't listening, or I wasn't, because I was surprised to come out on another track after a bit of bush bashing.
When we got to GZ, I went one way and nikid1 went the other and we both missed the middle. Mr VC again stood there with a sly grin on his face.

Although we did the Evil series a couple of year's ago I couldn't knock back the opportunity to tag along & revisit these great caches.
Teamed up with **nikid1 & vennfamily** (designated driver & instigator of this adventure) & headed north.
There is always the chance of picking up a few extras along the way! LOL ... Caches that is!
As we pulled to stop I was fairly certain there was a 'closer' option but who listens to me?
Not my companions today obviously! LOL ...
A bit of a bush bash followed by a moment of 'enlightenment' (for some) as we came upon another track.
Well, whoever would have expected that?
A quick find followed.
Marked the log to record my visit.

After having a taste of this forest again, I thought that I might come back for another cache. I am slowly getting my way through them, one at a time.
This time I had a better idea where I was going and once again made my way through the dirt tracks and before I knew it, I was kind of where I needed to be. Well, about 100mtrs of so off. I could see where some light tracks were, but after closer inspection of the map, there appeared to be an easier way to GZ.
With inspection, it proved to be a much easier way in and had me only a few meters or so from GZ. I dipped into the bush and started the hunt. After looking around in a few spots, I came up empty handed... 'Hmmm...', there was just a perfect location for one. I thought it best if I started again, and gave it another go.
This time I came from different angle and with that, the geocache was just sitting there like a sore thumb. How I missed it when coming in, I'll never know?!?!
Thanks for another great cache Scrub Bull. All is in great order here.

It had rained all night and with the morning it showed no sign of easing. We had solved these caches early in our caching life but had always assumed that we would have to climb hills and walk Kms so had avoided them on every occasion. Today we were all geared up for a fantastic and Evil adventure with dahumbug who had so generously offered to ferry us around the area. When we met up we queried the state of the roads but dahumbug assured us that his 4WD (and his driving!) could cope. So off we went for one half of one our best day's caching. Picked up the traditional caches in the area before our final onslaught on Evil 5. Clever location sing the name of the cache and the hint in combination.

Saturday. Slow Puncture was on the road again with Linden/6 to get some more needed caches in the Sunshine Coast hinterland area.
The GPS had us in what looked like an obvious spot but no luck, so, broadening the search had us with cache in hand. We probably spent longer than was needed to find what should have been an easier to find cache, but we had it in the end. Another Dennis find!
This was the 8th out of 11 caches we found on this trip.
Thanks [Blue]Scrub Bull[/Blue], for bringing us here.

Another day of crazy caching planned with KC of Slow Puncture.
Having solved all the necessary puzzles we were ready to hit the trail.
The Evil series was our target list with, hopefully a few extras along the way.
This was another one that we spent way more time on than we should have.
Searched high & low, in, under & over to no avail.
Stepped back & surveyed the area & thought, hmmm, that's the one spot I haven't looked yet.
Guess what?
LOL ...BINGO!
It was playing my song after all! LOL ...

We thought it would be a good time to start to collect some caches in the State Forest and start on the Evil Series. We only have a two wheel drive sedan so we were not keen taking it over rough bush tracks so we decided to park the vehicle off the road under the Overhead Power lines and walk to the caches.
This one was a 1.1klm walk. As it turned out we could have driven close to GZ but the walk was nice and probably is better for you.
The description said you will need to do some scrub bashing for about 75m and when the needle started to swing, we headed for the bush and headed in the direction of GZ. At about 15m from GZ was crossed another track. We could have taken this track and done very little scrub bashing, but this always seems to happen with us.
At GZ we searched for quite some time in all the nooks and crannies and eventually the trophy that we were seeking was located.
There was a bit of water in the container and the log book was damp, however it still could be signed in pen.
We signed the log and replaced the cache as found.
Thanks for another cache Scrub Bull.

No luck with this one today. Used the same tactic as the last one but to no avail. will e back to try again.
We looked for this cache in June last year and I swear it wasn't there. Today it was (thankfully). 2nd time lucky for us. Luckily we were able to drive within 18 mtrs of this one so it wasn't a problem especially with the little chikins being with us. TFTC Scrub Bull.
The first on an afternoon of solo caching near grandma snd grandads. Parked the car a little way off and walked the 100m to GZ.

We were out today with Fangsoki and Sweet_bee and were set for a great day out in the area 
This one was next up on our list for today, and we approached carefully, and made our way quickly to GZ After a quick walk, and some spectacular bush, we soon arrived at GZ, and began the search, and soon had the cache in hand without any issues We added our names to the logbook, and headed back out and off to find a few more today

Out caching and finding puzzles with Captain Terror, Fangsoki, Net88, P`Prime, Crew 153, Herbz, Swellerfungus, SeffnJarah and KJTJMJ.
Arrived at GZ to see the cache had already been found. We signed our names and saw the cache get replaced in it's spot before walking back to the car again.

A group attack on the Evil series of caches was the plan for the day. This was passed on our way into the area so we all bundled out of the vehicles and soon had the cache located and were signing our names into the log. Tftc
Please disregard my previous log...It turns out I mistook this one for one in a park nearby. The problem with being the driver is you sometimes don't get to remember some of the caches...well thats my story anyway!. We DID find this one.

This was the third cache for our motley crew today. I was spending the day caching and four wheel driving with Captain Terror, Fangsoki, Agap2, P`Prime, Crew 153, Herbz, Swellerfungus, Jeff from SeffnJarah and KJTJMJ. We had started driving around this forest when we got to the track for this cache. Fangsoki told us that he would rather park the canyonero and walk to the cache, well we are all fit and healthy, with two feet and heartbeats, so why not! A few others didn't share our feelings towards exercise and decided to drive.
We eventually caught up to them to see the cache had already been found. We signed our names and saw the cache get replaced in it's spot before walking back to the car again. Soon we were driving away with a unscratched and happy canyonero. Thanks for the cache Scrub Bull.

I had been invited to join Net88 and a group of other cachers on a run on the Evil caches to complete her D/T chart.
On the way we stopped to pick up the other caches in this great bit of bush land. This was the first one along the track.
It was onboard with Swellerfungus driving and he headed past the other cachers who had parked at the end of the track.
We parked close and headed off into the scrub and with the number of searchers it was only a matter of time before someone looked in the right spot and brought out the cache.
Thanks Scrub Bull. A great spot for a cache.

#432 @ 4:08PM Had searched here earlier today but couldn't locate the cache. Even searched where I found it so I'm not sure where it was earlier. Maybe another cacher was caching at the same time and was hiding from us not knowing we also were looking for it. ~ TFTC Scrub Bull
#259 @ 4:08PM Searched EVERYWHERE earlier for this one without any luck. Came back and tried again and SUCCESS we found it. ~ TFTC Scrub Bull
Looked and looked and looked for this one and couldn't find it. I don't know if I was overthinking the hint but I never found one of those either? Perhaps I had the Evil mind on and was looking too hard? Perhaps it was because I was told it wasn't there! End of the day it must be cache blindness. I have waited until 6/7/14 to log this when I have seen that 2 others have found it since. I didn't want to create a further string of DNF's and negativity when it was obviously a cache that just stayed well hidden from my eyes. Thanks for the hunt anyway Scrub Bull.
Hiked in from Woodland Wonder with WTF21 as Mrs THR slept in the ute. We searched everywhere, even in the pouring rain and couldn't find this one. With all the DNFs it's definitely more than a D1.5. After 30 minutes of searching we gave up as all this effort isn't worth a typical D1.5/T2 find. It will be interesting to see if it's still here. TFTH Scrub Bull
Ok we had gone ahead and bought the 4WD – no, not a Jeep and I was itching to try it out on some suitable terrain. With a couple of 5/5 D/T rated caches on offer, the EVIL series in the Yurol forest seemed the perfect choice. No convincing was needed to get ‘The Hunting Rabbit’ interested in coming along as this was a puzzle series we had solved over 18 months ago.
We worked our way down from the Northern end with Mrs THR showing her uncanny knack of making quick work of difficult finds picking up Evil numbers 1 to 4. Great hide at Evil 1 and a favourite point there
We made a quick side trip out to collect Woodland Wonder while Mrs THR had a rest in the 4WD and this time THR made the find of a very well camouflaged ammo box.
No luck at Bryophyta – all we got was wet thanks to the rain that had now settled in
we both agreed though that the D/T on this cache is a bit underrated!
Next it was time for a Cooroy Coffee. Finally I made a find! Loved the cache container here, didn’t expect that at all – another favourite point.
Live Wire was nice and easy in the middle section before tackling the 5/5’s. This time I was the lucky one to make a lucky very quick find of our first 5/5 cache at Evil 6
gotta make that a favourite!
Heading on along the now slippery and muddy track to Evil 5 we met up with ‘dahumbug’ who had come out to see how we were progressing. I’m happy to admit that without his help I doubt we would have ever found the cache – terrible reception in the scrub made GZ very difficult to pin down and the cache location.... lets just say that was darn EVIL!!
All up, a great day out 4WD’ing and caching with The Hunting Rabbits.

Found it after a small bit of jumping from tree to tree due to GPS playing up under all the bush.cache in good nick.
Riding the Noosa Network Trail on the Geo-steed and thought we'd do some caching on the way.

We made the walk in a little harder than needed. But still an easy walk. After locating the cache and dahumbug done a little maintenance. It was an shot walk back to the 4x4.TFTC:)
This was Operation Yurol Forest with Papa Smurf 12 and Kiki97. These guys introduced me to the Evil series a few weeks back, not long after I started caching. On that day we had found all the clues to the Bones series, and they threw Evil One at me to solve in 5 minutes flat... Which was easily done. After that day, Us three were always threatening to come back and finish the series. I definitely have to say that Evil One is the best, and Evil 5 was the best.
6/10/13 12:30 (Cache 5 for the day)
After finding the Woodland Warrior back on the trail, we needed to find this one to cleanse the area also. I have to admit that we didn't start the walk for this one from the best spot, as we bushbashed 100 metres before we saw another perfect driving track. After we found the closest track, it was only about 20-30 metres to find the cache. It disappointed me greatly that no one had replaced the log or log bag, as it was absolutely illegible. I quickly decided that I was going to replace the logbook, so legged it back to the car for supplies. It is an awesome feeling doing Maintainence to an old cache, and I hope others get enjoyment out of finding this cache in the future. The DT rating is definitely a little under rated here, but definitely a pleasure to find.
I can't pronounce the name of the cache, but thank Scrub Bull anyways.
Took nothing but the old log, I have it and am trying to dry it out... It does not look good!

Started the walk into the bush a lot further than needed for this cache. After reaching GZ we realised that there was an easy trail back to the geomobile. TFTC
This was the eighth and last for today.
Out with Brother Colin finding a few in the area that had eluded us in the past.
Continuing on after Woodland Wonder we only mananges a short drive, the road deterioted to such a point, further access was not possible, only 690m to go, so we had to hoof it.
20min later GZ in site. After a short hunt, cache found.
I presume we are not the only ones that find the easy way to a cache after one has found it. Almost a drive by, if one can get through the rough bit.
All good with the cache.

Out and about today with Sweet-Sour looking for caches.
After lunch and a hike up the nearby HILL we went looking for easy park and grab caches.
We had a bit of a walk to this one as the ute could not get past a particularly rough patch of road.
After a bit of circle work we found the cache.
Unfortunately it had some water in it and the log book was so wet we could not write in the log book.
Left the log book out of the bag and placed the cache upside down. Hope it dries out some.
Thanks for the cache.

The Team Fang-Prime-Noski Sunny Coast Raid
It had been two decades since my school days in Pomona so I was keen to check out the area again and of course some of the caches.
I met up with Fangsoki and PPrime in Brisvegas. With backpacks packed, puzzles sorted and the trusty Fangsoki 4WD geomobile fuelled up we were ready to go.
Find number 12
We ventured into the trees and found a whole heap of potential hiding spots. After doing the "drunken bee dance" for a bit the hint helped narrow now the search and the cache was then found in a spot that Mr Prime had sworn to have already looked at.
Thanks for the cache Scrub Bull. Cheers!!

Having climbed the nearby Mountain, and having climbed the nearby Mountain again, Radnoski and I, under the gentle support from Mister Fangsoki in his Powerful Purple Paj were heading bush for some of the local question marks. This one was on the way, and after a short walk we spent a little longer than expected before I heard the lovely sound of "Got it"

Easter weekend 3rd-6th April 2015 in Stanthorpe, QLD.Nearly 12 months since this one was visited.
Drove as far as we could and when we stopped a car stopped near us and asked if we were ok and we said yes. Asked if we were bird watching and we said yes. I didn't say we were bird watching for containers with logs to put our name in. he he he!
Geopartner waited in the geomobile while I scooted off to find this one.
I was soon at GZ looking at all the areas to hide a cache and after a small search I found what I was looking for. [^]
Added our name to a damp log and added another snaplock bag so it is double bagged.

After completeing some nearby Evil caches Tassiegirl and I headed off to find this one.
The name of the cache didn’t help us with the find so we had to rely on pure eyesight. Of course now with access to Google I’ve since looked up what it means and where the hide was now makes sense.
Being in the Bedmobile we were able to drive to within 15 meters of GZ and with fading light that was a big help. We looked and looked until finally the right spot was found and we had the cache.

TriBre and I were staying at Harry's Hut while supervising a Scout hike on Cooloola Way. As we were in an area we wouldn't normally visit we had to claim a few caches.
Today we had a day to just geocache. Thanks to TriBre for solving the puzzles in advance.
We enjoyed the off road driving today. We had a great day in the area.

Having finished our Duties of supervising a Scout hike along the Cooloola Wilderness Trail with Mastamak, we where free to do our own venturing, we had marked this day as our "Caching Day". Having Finished what we could do with the Evil Series Caches in the area (5 of 6), we moved onto the others in the area. It was Mastamak that provided us the Means to get around.
Besides the Evil Five Cache this one took us the longest for the day. We may have been defeated by the Evil Five and we were not giving up on this cache till we found it! Now the funny thing was the fact that my GPSr had me some 35m away from GZ, however Mastamak was right on the money. It still took us the better part of 15min to locate.
The kids asked us "What took you so long?" when we got back to the car as the light was now fading and so where the kids. Just one more then we will be heading back to Camp!

Found it while exploring the area on my mountain bike. A very pretty and serene area. TNLN.
Cache is very wet and notebook needs replacing. Unfortunately I didn't have a spare one on me today.
I'm loving driving around the roads in here in the wet! I don't get to do this stuff in my own little car, but Fangsoki's is another story. We did decide not to drive right to GZ though, as it looked pretty squishy, and walking through it confirmed that. Getting into the vicinity, we spread out to search, and it was only when I looked up and saw Ruzzelz' folded arms and cheeky grin that I knew one of us had found it. I did wonder how so much water got into it, considering its location, but we emptied it and made our marks. TFTC, Scrub Bull. =^.^=
Thanks to Fangsoki 4WD Geocaching adventures we were able to make it in to this area to chase the cache. Whilke the others we searching further in the bush I noticed a cache like sign hidden away and simply stood aside to watch the pointless searching by others in the party. Years of caching with IF seems to bring out the purest in caching behaviours
