We found the magnetic part but the log stripe and lid are missing. Unfortunately no found
Parked up the street and hiked down the path to this little chappie, blending in very well with the local snail population. As others have said, the log is full, so made a makeshift roll of paper and replaced it.
Thanks for the cache Zodiakhorizon.

Found cache but log fell apart and the wind blew some away. Needs work.

Took me a while.
Recent posts lead me in the right direction.
Soggy log, so photo as proof.
Thanks.

This series has been very handy for our 1-a-day challenge. A quick find here in the obvious spot. The log is full and damp so it does need replacing - I didn't have a log on me, unfortunately. TFTC!
Quick find here. Managed to get my name on the log but there isnt much room left. TFTC
Easy find with Geo-nephew on his driving lessons (test next Monday).
Log is full. Will advise CO with Note.

Thanks for this series - getting as many as I can before I have to return to Italy.

A bit hard to find a small object that was well camafarged. Log was full and wet. Must remember to take a pen and a small log paper next time
Quick find while in the area. Brings back fond memories of one of my favourite geocaching nights some 2 years ago when I and NTech FTF-ed half a dozen of this series just south of Hillarys. Twas a late night in Feb 2012 in the diving rain .. yes rain in Feb, loved it.
I really must finish this series one day, old done about half. TFTC ... hope to see another ZH series one day!

I came by on the way from Cottesloe to Joondalup early this morning and wanted a cache for the day. It took a while to find a park and eventually found one only 200 odd meters from the cache. A quick walk up the path, with plenty of cyclist muggles whizzing by. Eventually there was enough of a break to start looking. Initially I was in the wrong side. But eventually had a look all over. I had already checked the eventual hide spot, and found it on the second inspection. Thanks so much for a diversion on the way to work. Unfortunately not enough room for any of the many trackables currently in my possession! The perfect spot for a cache!
Had almost given up - moved off the path for a group of cyclists and found myself staring right at cache.
Log was full so have taken awesome selfie!

Looked one side, looked the other side! Love the camo! Log a bit damp and full but left my mark !TFTC Zodiakhorizon!
Found @ 20:26!
Quick find on the very suitable object a few metres away from the Listed Coordinates.
Surprisingly well camouflaged in the dark due to the similar coloured objects around...!
Log was a bit soggy and full (as far as I could tell) so took a photo instead.

It was mistralunas birthday today so she decided the best way to celebrate was to go out for a day of caching. It turned out to be a good day, i ended up with 29 finds and only 3 DNFS so i was quite happy with that. Nice easy find TFTC Zodiakhorizon
Birthdays come but once a year and what better way to spend it than out caching with a like-minded companion. Another quick find at this one. Thanks Zodiakhorizon
I'd been contacted by Olabirk from Norway for some advice and offered to drive him around and we made it a great caching weekend. He asked to see some nice caches so I chose places I liked, caches I'd done that I liked and caches I hadn't done yet but that I knew would be worthwhile doing.
I was looking at all the snails thinking they might be a cache. TFTC!

This is a common log of all my findings of geocaches in the Perth area during my stay, weekend 6th and 7th. April. 2013. At the bottom of the log, you will find more information specific to this particular cache.
Got to know a week ago that I was going to perform a mission on a ship bound for Broome, Australia. (This is my first trip to Australia.) Admission ship outside Bali on Tuesday afternoon, and arrived in Broome on Friday morning. In order to return to Europe again, I had to fly to Perth on Friday night. Since it was the weekend, I took as well a couple of days off here in Perth to find some caches. Had send a message to "duncdonut73" a few days before arrival to get some guidance since I unfamiliar with all the "dangerous creatures" here in Australia. Not enough that he responded to my inquiry, he posed as well by showing me a lot of nice caches. Thank you duncdonut73 who had time for this.
Quick and easy cache.
Thanks for this nice cache.

[:(!] I sneaked this cache in on the way home from the Fish & Chips, Picnic at City Beach Event, parked the geoGrand Vitara as close as possible to GZ and walked the rest of the way, on arrival at GZ it was in hand in a matter of minutes.

After a fruitless search where my gps directed me, diverted attention to the other side of the path and then made a quick find.
Unlike the nearby munzee, which I couldn't find, this cache was a quick and easy find, although it did blend in quite well with the snails. I walked up here from number 21, so I did get a bit of exercise on a very hot 42 degree day.
Thanks for the hunt ZH!

Walked from Hillarys in an attempt to find all the Find 30, and a few others along the way. Sadly, miss 12 decided her little legs could go no further so this was our last find for the day.
A quick find for this one and is on a great bike track.
TFTC....SL Thanks Zodiakhorizon.

A quick find of this little cache - seems to be attracting its own camoflague.
Out early on a short (ish) Caching run with Felix to seek out some of the newly
published listings North of the river.
I had already found a few of the northern most nanos in this series, so was keen
to complete the rest in a whole run, as it was designed.
So started at 28...and headed north... the finds came pretty quickly, a good variety
of hides.... its amazing what you can do with a nano !!!
Cheers for the series...

Out and about with The Machman this morning.
I had only done 2 of the series before today, so was pleased to be able to attempt some more today.
Nice quick find and carrying on Northwards.

Whoops, here we go again. That GPS just has a mind of its own. A very sick mind at that. Finally squeezed out it the direction and distance required for an easy find. TFTC
I undertook this series in the spirit it was intended and took my bike to Hillarys and then followed the path and caches south, picking up a few extras on the way. A mostly successful day with only 1DNF in the series, 1 possible found but could not retrieve and 2 did not attempts due to muggle activity and the fact I was running out of time. A very slow ride south due to muggles - on the path and around the caches. Had to go on then double back a couple of times to avoid muggles. Coords seemed to be out by quite a bit at a couple of the caches - not an issue at some due to the ease of hides. TF the series.
Planned to do this series as soon as I saw it published...has been ages since I've had a decent caching run so close to home.....so on my first day off I set out on road bike...happily can log 27 out of 27 (although I must give credit to KB for finding #12 after I had given up)...cheers ZH for providing a superb days caching.
founf after a 5 minute search as the GPSr indicated it was on the other side of the path

Whoops - looks like I'm not the only one out in the rain. Time to turn around and head north. 2TF More mad fun for ducks and cache-kind. SL TFTC

I had tried for 22 but the coordinated I had for GZ seemed wrong and I wasn't going to waste too much time in the rain so I continued on to this one and made a quick find once the GPS settled.
Thanks Zodiakhorizon for the cache.
