While heading out for some more exercise I thought I'd grab a cache for the day.
Initially the GPS had me going the wrong side of the track, until it finally had me 5 m from GZ when I saw the cache, a bit exposed.
At one stage the GPS said I was 13 m fro GZ while I signing the log !

With perfect Great Lakes weather to enjoy, we created a list of unfound caches just to the north of Pacific Palms. There seemed to be a great many veterans in attendance today, it took us a few moments to identify which old chap to approach. Today the satellites had our GZ 10m S of where we located the cache.

TNLN . . SL . . Thanks for the hunt latanzi.

Headed up to the Forster for a day of caching on a beautiful Winter's day. This one took us ages to find as our GPS was pointing to the opposite side of the road to where we finally found the cache. Afterwards we continued on the dirt track to make our way home. TNLNSL TFTC
 
10-Jul-11
Reperio at 1445. Spent the weekend in Hat Head and stopped by to pick up a few caches on the way home. This was a nice little drive here, but surprisingly while I was parked at GZ, a whole host of muggles drove past. Wasn't expecting that!

Gratias.

Geowife's first thought was wrong, but soon afterwards we had it in hand.
