Nice quick find for the kids. Have advised RS that a bit of maintenance wouldn’t go astray, co tents a bit damp. I’ll put a new bag in for future treasures, to help keep them dry. Nice spot on a sunny morning. Thank you.

Located at 4:55pm. #922.

After snagging the nearby 9:58 hide, I made my way to this one. Happy to make this find as it fills another blank on my Jasmer Grid and it’s a very early de facto RS hide, thanks for adopting it and maintaining it in the field. I enjoy trawling through the logs of the older hides and seeing some very different caching names and personalities. Interesting to see who still plays the game and who doesn’t. These logs are time capsules, little snapshots of a time long gone. It will be fun to read these logs again in a decade or so .

Большое Спасибо! תודה! L’chaim! TFTC!

We were going past near here on the way home from work today and noted today was also an empty day on the calendar, so we decided to detour... got it after sunset but before the gates closed. And that’s Hidden Creatures Done for me!

First of three finds while out and about in Chipping Norton this morning.

Arriving at GZ, a quick look around on the ground revealed an object that only half matched the cache name, so I ignored it. I then spent the next 5 mins checking all obvious places before deciding to decend lower to check the object that first grabbed my attention. Of course it was the cache! Signed the log, added some swag and removed the packet of chips (please no food swaps people!) I then needed to decide where to return it....I think I found where it was intended to be. This one will be some nice points for Geosport’s Boxing challenge!
Thanks for the cache Rainbow Spirit and for introducing us to this gem of a location!

After doing one of the Spash n' Cache series and another of the CO'S caches marj01 and I drove over to Angle Park to launch our kayaks to proceed on the Spash n ' Cache series. Reaching the park we were greeted with locked gates to the park. As we had half an hour to fill in we headed over to this cache where we had a quick find. TFTC Rainbow Spirit.

This one was almost too easy. I have not been around here for a long time and was a bit surprised by the new appartments nearby. They must have floodwaters flowing through the bottom level from time to time.

The view must be amazing.

Thanks again, Rainbox Spirit

#1444 camevhere early & had a bit of a wander around the farmer's markets just back along the track. Got near GZ and wandered around a bit. While wandering spotted something I thought looked good but then didn't check looked in a few other tight corners but on my 3rd time around checked the spot & there was the cache.

Found a spot & signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for the cache Rainbow Spirit

One more find on the way home from the GCNSW Event nearby. Found easily, then hidden with extra camo so it doesn't roll away. TFTC
 
03-Dec-17
Found with my Geodad EverestHigh and ADI. First attempt I had to battle Lantana seeking new patches of ground which could hold a Geocache. Thinking we shouldn't have to go through these spiky bushes, and that the coords where to far off, I retraced my steps to leave... Later knowing what to look for we tried again, it was very obvious but just off where I had ceased to search. Glad to find the cache and place it back in a more suitable hiding spot, not far away. Smile TFTC Rainbow Spirit! Smile

Caching buddies: EverestHigh, MaxAdventurer and GeodudeAU

Luckily, at the event someone told us about the final location of the cache through a video... And I don't know how we missed this !?.. my phone's GPS wasn't being nice and friendly.. It was lying in the open like a piece of trash. Also, it is not an ammo anymore..
It was moved to a secure location that makes more sense to the coords..

Hubby helped me make the find as he found it previously, then the bebes rocked up.

Nice to meet the bebes ...

I found myself out and about near this cache so decided to go and find it. Parked the car nearby and then headed over towards gz. At first I wasn't sure where it would be, but then saw a little track. With the hint I narrowed down my search and then spotted a likely cache hide - and the larger than expected cache. Luckily there were no muggles around to see what I was doing, so I signed the log and replaced the cache as found. TFTC Cool

GREAT! Kids loved it.

Watch out for spiders. Photo posted by clan of 6 was a great hint. Found by sandy & imogen.

What a pleasant park right by Chipo Lakes. Parked nearby and headed over towards GZ.
There was the occasional muggle out walking, but plenty of time between them to dive in take a look, do the business and out again. I also had Mrs A standing watch and advising when the coast was clear. A neat hide and TFTC Rainbow Spirit.

Enjoyed a nice stroll to find this one. I suspect the geokids will be taking us to the playground as our next stop. TFTC

#2744 (1 of 3 today) (Streak day 283)

Positioning myself for a big caching day on the 29th. So, just the three today. Decided to so south to Chipping Norton - really need a kayak to pick up the lake caches - as there were a few unfound traditionals close together.
Got all three - HUZZAH!
Then home before it got really hot.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Decided to start here and drove into a nearby car park and walked to GZ.
Started wondering, as I closed in, what would be the best approach. Then I spotted a geotrail! I think I have my path.

Nice quick find here - it's not really hidden so much as obscured from casual view.
Opened it up and completed signing duties (log damp but signable), then replaced - it wants to roll, so needed to be careful in the placement.

Wandered along this picturesque area while waiting for vehicle repairs to be carried out and decided there just had to be a cache here somewhere - how could there not be? So indeed I was not disappointed, and found this clean, dry tidy cache skillfully hidden with a handy fallen branch nearby to sit upon and sign the log. Well done, Rainbow Spirit Smile
