Good walk with my daughter, she really enjoyed it.

#2 found! Thanks for for the tour- onto #3

Found it Treefic No 2 TFTC

In Wang for a few days R&R and after visiting friends in Yarrawonga I had some time to grab a few smilies on the way back to Wang. Looked at the map and saw this series was on a bike/walking trail. I was quite pleased to be able to do them all by car as walking isn't that easy at the moment. Thanks for taking over this series tattboy1

Quick and easy find

Found on our way home to Echuca after visiting family
in Wodonga. Signed and replaced as found.

Thanks heaps

I logged this series in reverse order since the caches seemed to be on that side of the road. All containers were in good shape. Some of the logs which were once postit notes have become messy but I always found somewhere to write K.B. in red pen on some part of the log. Thanks for the caches and to the person / people who have volunteered to maintain them.

Geofamily trip to Victoria... Cool!
Mrs Moneydork, Moneydork, sushilord and I left Friday morning for a 4 day jaunt over the border to find a cache or two
Two nights in Wangaratta and then a night in Bendigo left me with 10 DNFs and 205 cache finds one of which was a FTF
Day 3 was Wangaratta to Bendigo as there is a particular wool mill there that geomum loves to visit [^] As with any family, when geo mum is happy... everyone else is [^]
Todays DNFs numbered 1 and the finds numbered 66 with some interesting caches and experiences amongst them.... not the least of them being me falling off of the walk the plank cache At least I found a PT there to make up for the fall

I'd never met purpledreamer and it seems that I missed out on meeting a lovely lady
I've only managed to find a few of her cache hides and Purpledreamers Big Purple Box is one that I really remember as it was a HUGE cache in an OUTSTANDING location [^]
Hence I enjoyed this small series and it's a shame that some are offline or achived

The geofamily are off on another trip to Mexico. Fun, sore backsides (for some) and Dad getting the geomobile stuck and breaking his bike, TWICE were the highlights of the trip. One of the running jokes for the trip was 'If it's 2.5T it's laying on the ground, if it's 2.5D it's under that pile of rocks or in the open, if it's listed as large we are looking for an eclipse tin' which came about due to a number of early finds. The lasting memory from this trip will be the grass seeds!!!

We worked our way along this trail.

Thanks for the cache purpledreamer.

Nice easy find

Found it

Thanks for this series of caches ! Great pick of trees, etc to put them in.

Yep, lost count, and I'm too rushed to count the spots on my phone ... I'm going to pick a couple and give you favorite points, for the series mainly.

we drive on the way to melbourne then catch ferry to tasmania for week.... hide well.. thanks...

need note log.... full log...

TFTC

Second last one of the series, such a busy track.

These have been some great caches to finish off our weekend away

#278 Third of thirteen finds for the morning on a quick caching trip around Wangarrata to break the drive to Dubbo. Nice easy find after a short search. TFTC

I had so much fun on our little roadtrip!
Me, boo09, becca85 & GemmaSistema headed to Wangaratta for the night.
Day 1 was huge with 50 finds, lots of which were at night by torchlight- we even got bogged!
Day 2 we got rained out in the end but still had an enjoyable day.
Thanks for some great caches in great company!

School holidays are upon us which means Team Clarmensma (myself, GemmaSistema, boo09, neisha07 as well as Ad + Luke) is formed yet again as we target another area of beautiful country Victoria.
This time we decided on an over night road trip to Wangaratta.
After a huge day yesterday of 50 finds plus another 4 challenge that we don't yet qualify for we headed out again with a target of at least 25.
The day started great then about lunch time the showers started. That's okay, we'll abort to Maccas and hope it clears. Nope, not so much. We continued caching our way home via Glenrowan and Euroa, with the rain becoming increasingly heavier. We got to Seymour, nabbed a tricky one in the rain then headed to another. We were blinded by the rain so heavy at this point and the sky quickly darkening that we had to admit defeat and part ways. Luckily we had surpassed our goal already. We thoroughly enjoyed our couple of days adventure in parts of Victoria that I had not previous explored in any aspect. Hope to be back sometime soon- in better weather! TFTC!

School holidays mean that myself and my two kids (ages 5 & 7) go caching with becca85 and her two kids (ages 6 & 8 - or boo09 and neisha07). We normally do a big day out around home (Ballarat way), but we are running out of spots. These holidays we decided to head north and stay a night and cache in and around Wangaratta. A new day dawned and we decided to cache in town this morning exploring the town. A quick grab and onto the next! Many thanks

Second one in the series after a quick trip down to Wang to see family.
Moved along the path from "#1", and a couple of golfers nearby were allowed to hole out before attempting the find.
The roadside traffic was pretty busy but with care the hide was found.
SL at 10.40am. All ok.
Enjoying the series. TFTC tattboy1.

Heading off on foot for this section, it was another quick and enjoyable find. That is a fine golf course over the fence, and on such a lovely afternoon nobody is making use of it!

Thanks for the cache.

Another lovely day in Wangaratta - out and about enjoying the area with CAD ... Another find in this Great series love this purple container! T4TC:)
#3446

The day I lost an hour in Wangaratta TFTC. 15th

Found today. Great golf course, with green grass. Took some time for me to find it.

Thanks tattboy1 for the GC

2nd cache find - hide well covered. TFTC

Day three of our month long escape from Tassie. A reasonably quick find on a very warm day. TFTC

Managed another quick park and grab while heading into town with Happy Feet, made the find easy enough and soon had it logged, thanks tattboy1 for the hide.

Up early to grab this series with Happy pants, before there were to many muggles. A few out walking the dog but a easy find made.
Thanks tattboy1 for placing & maintaining the cache for us to find.
#3017

Found by The Roberts

Nice

Coming to the end of this little run, very impressed with locations all had safe easy access and good hides it makes for an enjoyable caching series tftc

[font=Comic Sans MS]Hi there tattboy1. We found your cache "Purpledreamers Purple Power Path # 2" at 10:55:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 12365.
[Blue]
Today was "Purple Dreamer" day. We thought that it would be nice to attempt the tribute series for this wonderful person before we leave town. Today we ended up logging 15 and DNF'ing 1 today.

Please excuse our boilerplate logs. When we attempt a series run we find it difficult to prepare individual logs.
[/Blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
Cache Condition: The majority of containers and log books were in good shape, but the post-it-note log books are in tatters and need a really big staple to hold them together.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Nothing in the small ones, and a smiley badge wherever we could fit one.
Thanks for the hunt,
Regards
Ian & Penny.[font=Verdana]

Tftc, a nice, and easy find.

TFTC

Thanks

TFTC. On a lovely Saturday morning we had wandered through the wetlands and were close to this path of caches. No time like the present to add to our tally. Started at 6 and worked our way successfully back to 1.

This one would be an easy one if it was so close to the fairway. I sat in the sun while the golfers cleared the green and the ones on the fairway hit onto the green and walked past. I retrieve the cache and managed to get it back easily. TFTC

An easy find by me with NenaNine retrieving it NenaNine logged in for both of us. I swapped the little yellow dice for a red car. TFTC

Not to far down the track from PPPP #1 Shadow 67 spotted #2, but left me to retrieve it from its hiding position. Signed the log and swapped the green skeleton for a beaded snowflake then off to find #3 ...TFTC!

Great cache TFTC

Good find with Sabelais123:)

Another quick find with Prin666cess

6th find today

We were out and about today, grabbing some caches around Wangaratta. We hit this power trail, which showed a variety of caches along a lovely (and a little bit busy) country road. Thanks for all the hides and the people that maintain these caches.

Out and about for Mother's Day with Arielisme..
Thank you for getting us out of the house.
Tftc..

It's Mothers Day and mlroberts73 & I decided we'd head out and grab a few caches this afternoon.
So off we went in the drizzly rain and enjoyed a couple of hours of caching together.
What a great way to spend an afternoon!
Thanks for the cache.

A little gecko helped us find this one

Found with Jimmytherat. Easy grab on a glorious Autumn day! Hope to get a few of this series done before heading back to big smoke. Interesting tree! Thanks Purpledreamer

TFTC purple dreamer. That's the second one of the Series found. Nice and easy walk-up on a beautiful day in sunny Wang. With Noelle04.

There's a lot of army men in here...

Easy find

Found this one as well.

A quick find. A little tricky to reach but soon had the goods. There was a lovely shady "seat" nearby to relax and sign the log. Tftc.

Spotted this hiding place from the bike track as we approached and my partner in crime quickly swooped in to retrieve it, my cache finding skills are getting better can often spot the hiding place without too much looking now TFTC

I found this one yay.

29/1/15. Jeandog

Liked the purple theme of this trail, walked some and drove some. Had to DNF #10 but the others were OK.

Nice quick find. Tftc

Lots of trinkets. Easy find.

Mr Tardis is visiting family in Wang while on a visit from Adelaide. I has some time today to complete this nice trail dedicated to Purpledrreamer. I started at #15 and worked my way back towards Wang. A nice variety of purple caches along here and most were easy finds with DNFs on #10 and #8.

Enjoyed myself for the day. Thanks tattboy1.

Started this little series in reverse order....and as well missing the missing number 9, I had a DNF on number 8. Other than that, all was hides were fine and the caches found without issue.

Thanks to all concerned for the continuing caches.....

It was good to be able to come back to Wangaratta to complete this path today. It's very quick to pick up these caches. Thank you tattboy 1.

TFTC. Slowly getting through this trail whenever I'm in the area with a minute to spare.

Like others as we only had the car and not bikes so we tackled this from 15 to 1 with 10 being off line. Good to see some different sizes along the trail. Number 9 took abit longer as its a different hide and some the purple has gone but we managed the find even with the neighbours barking dog. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC and series

TFTC - Nice afternoon ride.

Geotton thought we were doing drive by finds by geoboy and geoboof decided we were running between caches while geodad drove the car to catch up. TFTC

Suscoe's 21st find of 37 for today.
It was a tale of two halves today, before lunch steady rain, after lunch a bit of sun and wind.
A nice hide, 8 degrees, lots of stopping and starting, lots of fun and lots of rain, sorry for the standard log.
All caches were in place and the logs are pretty dry.
Thanks to tattboy1 for keeping this series alive.

[:(!] Spending the weekend in Albury with my geoson and his geofamily and what better way of spending the day but to do a caching run and this was one of them, parked the geocar as close as possible to GZ and walked in from there, on arrival at GZ the cache was in hand in a matter of minutes.

I like it

On previous visits to Wang we had always run out of time before we could attempt the Power Trail. Today we were heading to Yarrawonga and Cobram with time on our hands and, as luck would have it, there was room along the trail to pull over with a caravan in tow. TFTC.

I'm enjoying following this trail. Thanks Purpledreamer.

Found second in the path, left a good cop and released Angus 88 the great Geo Westie for a run

Found it thanks. It was out in the open ground. Hope put it in right spot.

17:59
When it was announced that we were expected at one of the pubs in town for dinner tonight, this trail shot to the top of my To Do list, as it had been on the radar since we'd passed through town early last year, and each subsequent visit had been too short for an attempt. Not so this afternoon.

My chauffeur dropped me off at #15, and the fun began with a nice quick find. It's been a while since I last hit a real power trail, and the great exercise and good fortune continued the full length of the trail, with very little traffic either along the road or on foot to contend with.

#2524

Found @14:49
Decided to do the odd numbers on the way in and the evens on the way back.
Took dolphin, left purple heart.
SL Thanks for the cache tattboy1 and memories of purpledreamer.

Almost done, found with Tamzy one more to find then a nice cool drink and a rest before heading off to do a couple more before home, big storm brewing time to head in the home direction I think TFTC

A great power trail that we had wanted to complete for a little while, headed over to Wangaratta today. It was quite warm today so we drove most of the trail but enjoyed a stroll at certain spots. Finished up just before the weather turned for the worse and the sky's opened! Glad to see this trail being looked after!

Nice quick find by the golfcourse.

#423 With our annual leave drawing to an end we are making the most of getting out for a final geocaching onslaught. The PPPP series has been on our list for a while and today we and the 3 geohounds tackled it on foot. We found all 15 caches (collecting odd number caches on the way up and even numbers on the way back) in the series without too much trouble and also walked to By the Green. In total the we walked 13.7kms. We then went on to Yarrawonga area and collected another 14 caches for the day taking our total to 30. Finally got home after 10:30pm! Thanks to tattboy1 for maintaining this wonderful series.

Day two of our post Christmas / pre New Year trip... taking our new tent trailer for a test run, weather was very hot and humid. Our travels are taking us up to Ettamogah and across to Old Tallangatta before returning home.

Visiting many towns along the way, taking the Geo wife to places she has never been before, and giving our Geo Pug time to sniff out new territories

Did not expect to be seeing constant temps in the high 30's to low 40's... Geo wife got to see her first live black snake on the road in Australia, and I almost stood on a 5 foot brown snake at one cache on the HCRT, and a red back spider at another.
Stayed at some nice FREE camp sites along the way and a couple of caravan parks as well, learned a lot of things along the way, history and more, but in all a great adventure and we were able to clock up our 1000th find along the way ..

thanks to the CO for this cache

Gotcha !!! TFTC

After setting up camp in the caravan park we headed out to do the Purple Power Path.
Most of the caches were quiet easy to find.
Thanks tattboy1

Found while out and about with the geokids. Geolad took car and left soldier. Thanks so much to tattboy for keeping the series going.

Quick find. TFTC

Geopa is on a roll and found this one too - go geopa!! TFTC

Nice lots of swaps

Second of the series. Left badge. Have left several badges along this trail. Hope cachers only take one each.
