Decided it was time to focus my maintenance efforts on a few good caches rather than lots of average caches. The Lake Richmond series has had a good run, but all good things must come to an end. Container will be removed

Having spent the morning walking around Point Peron followed by lunch, we then came on to do this circular walk. The view and birdlife were amazing but we had 4 DNFs and 5 finds - not a good ratio.

I have no idea how to solve the bonus puzzle as I didn't see one alpha value on any of our finds.

Quick find. TFTC

A few hours in the afternoon to kill and the weather was perfect for walking, so I decided to do the trek around Lake Richmond. All caches were found relatively easily, except for Number Seven which continues to be elusive. Loved the variety of containers and I so glad that I made the visit today. TFTC KrabiBoy

Day 2 of WAGB17 Day, and picking up caches on the way there of course. Happy to reverse another frown here! TFTC Krabiboy!

After attending the WAGB2017 event, we went in search for more caches in Rockingham.
Hubby had tried to find this one yesterday but couldn't find it.
Today we re-visited this GZ and cache was found quickly.
Maybe a case of cache blindness yesterday.
Good to get this smiley.

TFTC, KrabiBoy. Found on 10 September 2017.

Find 22 of 31 with 2 DNFs on a bike ride around Rocko as part of WAGB2017. An excellent day out and a well-organised event.

Expecting a long search but Mrs. O saw it on approach! TFTC KrabiBoy

Thanks for the hide. Out enjoying the sun and finding a few caches around Rockingham during the WAGB event. Made over double digits between attending sessions and socialising so happy with our efforts. Always good to explore new ground.
 
09-Sep-17
Cool cache.
 
09-Sep-17
It was a lovely day, at wa goes big 2017, picking up caches while in town. Thanks to everyone for putting in the time and effort. Tftc sl tnln.
 
09-Sep-17
A weekend away with SEMIK and Phoenix Flare so we could attend WA Goes Big 2017, and what an amazing weekend we had. The location was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed many of the quality caches that had been placed in the immediate area!

Having wandered down the coastline for a bit, we opted to walk the Lake Richmond circle. Again, some amazing views were enjoyed by the team, and a mostly successful hunt.

This was find number 13 of 23 for the day for me. TFTC KrabiBoy!

Was proud to represent SA with RideTheGeoWalrus and SEMIK during WAGB with beautiful sunny weather keeping us going.

Day Six of our holiday in Western Oz..
Bettyboo3747 and I have spent our day in Rockingham walking around doing some very scenic caches. Lake Richmond in the morning, and Point Peron after lunch.
We looked for this one the first time around, but we were searching for a small container.
After finding the rest of the series we though we might have a better chance at this one, so came back.
Not sure that a bison counts as a "small", although I guess it is a small bison!
Thanks for the lovely walk and nice caches.
Thanks, Robmc.

#12590. Day 6 of our WA holiday - Our first full day in Rockingham. After gathering some supplies we took the geo-chariot to Lake Richmond and walked the walk. After lunch we went to Cape Peron where we admired the scenery and gathered up a few more caches. Not a wholly successful day, having 5 DNF's, however I added a smilie to a 2002 cache and we found a couple of ammo tin hides and I discovered a painted rock.

No wonder we had trouble finding this on the first time around. We were searching in all the wrong places for a small. Finally, Rob spied the Micro - well no wonder we had trouble spotting it. Very tidily camouflaged. Second in the new log sheet and off we go, home for lunch.

Hoping that you can provide us with the clues via a message so we can go and look for the Final.

Thanks KrabiBoy

S, T, 3K and 1D out today - GeodogJ slipped her lead and did a runner so we got more exercise than planned haha.

15-Dec-16
Last time I was here I searched for ages but only found its likely home...delighted that this time around the container was just where it ought to be Smile It was a far quicker search here today, lol! Was expecting there to be a bonus number in here as I have now found all 7 in the series, but only have 5 bonus numbers!! Drat, I must forgotten to jot one down Sad I'll have to play around with the map back at base and see what turns up for the bonus. Nonetheless pleased to have a ring of smilies here now, and so good to have a loop series to walk with the geohound; my favourite type of caching Smile TFTC
