I headed out with KristyAdventures this afternoon for a trip around this area and we just went and searched for whatever we came across for a few hours. The weather was nice and cloudy most of the time and not too hot, just how I like it. Stopped for a late lunch in the Balnarring bakery which was very busy. After a massive bush bash and DNF on the previous cache it was nice to have a nice quick find here. Thanks pimpmyballoons for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.
 
27-Dec-23
We were out for an adventure today and what adventure is complete without a geocache. There was much discussion in the back seat as to who was going to find this one and we all had to wait until everyone was out of the car. I looked in what I thought was the obvious spot, but geoson was the one who came up with the goods in another spot. Thanks for placing this one for us. TFTC

Wasn't where we thought it was originally, and then I totally missed thre spot it was, even though I looked there several times before Ilukaperi gleefully pointed out how blind I was.
 
21-May-23
Finally, a day organised just for caching with day1976, originally had been planning Narbethong unloved but the constant rain would have been awful for bush bashing and for my little 4wd.
So picked a different direction, which the weather forecast said no rain, and the rain tapered off as we arrived.
After doing a series of caches that took 4hrs and 15km of walking, some drive bys were necessary.
Day missed it, and I had to get out and find it for him!
 
16-May-23

Due to unforeseen circumstances Mr Smokey Bear will no longer be a part of Team Smokey Bear and will continue his adventures as "SmokeyBearOG".

So I'm relogging all previous finds under my new account.
Unfortunately this log will not show the original logging date.

**Thanks to pimpmyballoons for this adventure, looking forward to many more.**

Nice little cache with some cute swaps. Didn't have anything with me today, so left it as is (aside from logbook entry).

The nearby road can get quite busy, so please be careful of cars.

Nice and easy - a good one for kids or those new to caching.

Find # 10904

Found with sharkiefan.

The task for today was to tackle the Jack Speak series and a few around the area.
Despite the morning drizzle we still managed to make the Jack Speak finds along the road. Even with a DNF we still managed to work out the final.
Then when the rain passed and the sun was out we done more exploring and finding quite a few "Welcome to..." cache at each town we passed coming back up.
Throwen in was a couple other puzzles we had solved.
A fun day had over on the Mornington Peninsula with a total of 45 smileys for the trip.

Found with FUF009.

Jack Speak Day.
We had planned this trip a while ago and had the puzzles solved even longer ago.
Depsite the wet weather and gloomy looking day, we decided to head out and have a crack, prepared to give it up if it became too miserable.
Pleasantly we ended up with some beautiful if not windy weather and had a great time out this end of the state.

Some of these "welcome to..." caches were on the list, and others were added along the way as they all were pretty good caches and I became somewhat obsessed with finding all the ones we came across. Tftc

A nice day for a drive down to some as of yet unexplored areas of the Mornington Peninsula.
A little rain while in Somers but it cleared up and ended up being quite nice.

Third stop and no worries here. A quick park and grab.

Thanks

Release the masses day +1, and Vinz Clortho, the keymaster is out a wandering, from the mountains to the beach, his search for Zuul never ending.
In this place he may find a clue to her whereabouts, a small artifact hidden from sight.
Alas no hint to locate Zuul is found, so Vinz consoles by leaving his mark within the record and continues on.

This was next on my journey home today. I thought the cache would be hidden in a different manner at a slightly different location but 2upoj didn't agree. Taking its word for it, I checked where the arrow was pointing and sure enough, that had me signing the log at 16:50. Big Grin

We’d passed this cache a few times, but today was the day to stop at it and make the find, hopefully. The coordinates led us straight to the cache, not too far from the road. I felt a bit exposed from those travelling on the road. A small container is much better than a micro. Another added to our day list and our collection of caches in this “Welcome to ......” series.

Every day before the Melbourne Cup public holiday, work completely closes, so that gives me a paid long weekend. The plan with this day off was to hit the Mornington Peninsula.

Last few times I have been this way, I didn't have time to stop. Today I stopped but had to wait for a lot of cars to pass before being able to get out and start searching. Cache was then quickly found and signed

Thanks for the cache -Lisette-

After visiting Somers Yacht Club where there was no sailing occurring, due to the strong winds, my family decided that lunch at Balnarring was required. We had some spare time before lunch so I chose to look for this cache.

A relatively easy find and another of the "Welcome to . . ." caches ticked off my list.

Thank you -Lisette- for this cache.
