By BettyBoo3747 on 30-Jun-12. Waypoint GC3PH97

Great clue

Awesome Cache

I still cant see a buffalo tftc

Overnight visit to Mt Hotham working with the old man. Family came along for the ride. Actually, our first time up here - drive up - is nothing short of amazing.Homebound now, grabbed a couple along the way. Parked close to this one and walked in. Of course, someone was heading towards me walking their dog. I waited till they passed and then made the quick find.TFTC!

Great views thanks for the cache!

Nice view of mt buffalo

Found on bike ride !

Nice cache. Last for the day of the winery walk about.

We were up from Melbourne to enjoy a much needed break from the busy lives we live and to spend some quality family time. Today trouble and co headed out for a family bike ride from myrtleford towards gapstead. Little Mr trouble was rather tired after having ridden to bright the day before hand. The rides purpose was to collect as many caches as possible along the way.

Another quick dash in the rain for a quick find
Thanks for the cache

Day 2 of the B2B walk. If you haven't heard of it, I would suggest you get on google. It's a wonderful event which I can say I am very proud to have been a participant and I'll definitely be back.
This 3 day event takes you from Beechworth to Bright in 3 days.
Geocaching was just a very tiny part of the fun. From meeting new people to hearing amazing stories, from amazing scenery to seeing wildlife (which I didn't see), it was a weekend that will remain with me forever.
By the end of the day I think I was known as the lady who keeps going into the bush (nature calls). My daughter at first was a little embarrassed but then thought it was a good laugh. It did spark up a conversation and it was a great opportunity for others to learn about geocaching
I walked past many caches and I could feel my fingers twitching but I knew I would return another time to grab some more.
TFTC I will be back soon

While walking from Everton to Myrtleford (Day 2 of the B2B, Beechworth to Bright Walk for Suicide Awareness #walktalksupport) I took the opportunity to grab a few caches along the way without raising too much attention with the other walkers #fail. It ended up being a good opportunity to explain geocaching to a lot of curious people. I'm sure we'll gain some new cachers from it. Nice hide, fantastic series. TFTC

Completed previously as BlackOpal2005. My daughter I thought it was time to create our own accounts.

Thought we would go over to Myrtleford for a night out and have some dinner. We thought we do some Caches on the way home

Yeh

After leaving home a little later than we had planned, we finally arrived in Wangaratta and checked into our accommodation with Rapidlywild. Nice cabin that was a little toasty but we soon cooled that down with the air-conditioner while we unloaded the cars.
We then set off to do one of the trails that we had planned to attack also collecting others along our journey.

Nice trail and bike ride to fill in the afternoon and into the early evening. All caches were found although in various condition or otherwise noted.

Thanks for hiding and maintaining BettyBoo3747

After travelling down from Canberra, FurfacesLL ladies and myself did our check in duties and then decided to head down to this smallish rail trail with the bikes to try get some finds up our sleeves. Grabbed a couple roadside ones along the way and then made our way to the most furtherest one to begin the ride. Was an enjoyable ride with some lovely scenic views along the way.

Thanks for placing and mainaining this cache for us all to enjoy BettyBoo3747

Views were pretty good this afternoon - lots of clouds on the mountains so hoping they got some snow dumps. TFTC

A few days away with Shumba7 working on BettyBoo’s A - Z around Myrtleford. We have had a great time seeing some of the sights the area has to offer. Even though I have been here many times, this series has me seeing parts that I never knew existed. TFTC although I’m beginning to think BettyBoo is a nasty lady with fresh breath.

Buffaloooooo is a drinking game in Zimbabwe pity I can’t remember it.

Today was day four of our Beechworth holiday (take two, post the very disappointing escape from Victoria Covid of 2020).

We drove down to Bowmans station and rode over the Taylors Gap hill to Myrtleford where we had lunch, and grabbed some caches on our way back. On sunset we went for a stroll around Beechworth to pick up Randolph's Church Multi, and grabbed an Echo cache while we were out.

This was the second cache for the day, and with the trail pointing upwards it was a good excuse to stop and admire the view - although today, there was a lot of smoke coming up over the mountain which can't be good.

Thanks for the cache BettyBoo3747.

Found while enjoying an Easter break up in the North East.
Stunning weather and a really nice area to explore.
We rode this section of the trail and enjoyed it.
Thanks for the hide here.

Found with McAdies and Jelly_bean14.
We had a great time over Easter up here.
We enjoyed finding this geocache today.
Thanks for placing it for us to find.

Found with McAdies and Geo_Eddie.
Up here for the Easter break.
I had a good time finding this geocache today.
Thanks for placing it for us to find.

Fount it hehe

Found with mia larni, Hollie and jess

I found it

Called past and replaced the broken container. New container and log sheet now in place.

Container changed over. New log sheet.

Cache is broken and log sodden so disabling until I can fix it, hopefully next week.

Thanks

Quick find with Jackez74 TFTC

A quick and easy find with Matho64.
Gorgeous view of My Buffalo.
Cache container was damaged because it was so brittle. Needs replacing.
TFTC

Good find

Lovely day of caching with Mrs Stevo. Tftc

Enjoyed a day caching with Mrs Clazza, walking the rail trail and collecting caches along the way.
We parked on the main rd and wondered over to locate this cache. Plenty of rabbit burrows around. Cache found, log signed , enjoyed the view and on our way for lunch

A tiny climb & posted it

Find Number 1958 found at 11:39. This was the 2nd find of 5 finds and 0 DNF's today

A mothers' day trip to Myrtleford for lunch, sightseeing and a few caches.

It was fairly obvious where the container might be hidden, but I couldn't see a T1.5 route there, so I scrambled my way up and found the container.

The cache was in good condition. We signed the log (sometimes we sign micro logs with G&T or GT) and replaced the container as found

Thanks BettyBoo3747 for the cache.

Last day of my "school" holidays before going back to work - so why not spend it caching in the gorgeous autumn weather in the northe east of Victoria. Despite seeing lots of PV vehicles, the fires seem to have finished and once the breeze dropped it was a glorious day. Highlight birdwise was the Flame and Scarlet Robins that have started descending from the High Country and a Jacky Winter near Markwood was I think a first for me in the north east. My main goal today was to finish the last three in the Hoop Stars Series - I knew all three were back in play and so would get that big ball finished. After that I wasn't certain whether I would head to Milawa or Myrtleford (in the end it was the latter) and turned out to be another Betty Boo3747 and Harrowang day (plus a new D/T combo - woohoo). In the end got 30 finds and 2 DNF (right at the end when I ran out of time) but also cleaned up quite a few that I had looked for previously but not logged. Plus a couple of nice multis, so in the end a very good day.

Kept strolling down the trail but read the hint and jumped the bank about 50 metres out - interesting water feature nearby. Quick find in the obvious place - the walk to these ones probably cost me a few caches in the end, but the pleasantness of walking on a good track in the bush always makes up for the lost numbers.

Burning hot today. 40 degrees C while looking for caches. lucky it was a quick find

Nice view

I only had one cache to find between now and New Year's Eve to better my total for last year, and three to bring me up to 3100. A few between Myrtleford and Gapstead were our target today.

After parking the geomobile close by, we entered the railtrail to attack this cache. Mr Do got to the right height to find this cache. Thanks BettyBoo and happy new year.

A little bit of extra effort by Mr Ozjeeper paid off and gave him the bonus of a Find as well as the views of the mountains in the distance.

Next one while doing the Murray to Mountains rail trail. A quick find took a photo and then found my way back down on the trail from the cache TFTC

TFTC

The nearby poo tree made us laugh!

Ha ha!

Went cross country to this one with a very wary tread. All good however.

Mr Riddell thought that the 8 inch lizard sitting on top of the cache was camo until it moved.
Gave him an interesting reaction.

Awesome views

Always fabulous. TFTC

What a view! Another quick one on the way home! TFTC

Quick drive by cache. Nice views. Tftc

Catching up on some very late logs, found with omegaman1971 and Happy Feet while in the area enjoying some new sights and plenty of laughs. This one was found after a short search, thanks BettyBoo3747 for the hide.

Grabbing some caches with omegaman1971 and Happy pants. A weekend with fun, laughter and some great caches found. Yes a nice view of Mt Buffalo on a lovely day.
Thanks BettyBoo3747 for placing the cache for us to find.

Out and about in the area with Happy pants and Happy feet for some caching fun.
Also hoping to hit my 3000th find this weekend.
Would love to be up in the snow today.
Cheers for the cache

Good spot and nice view

Thanks Ve had in a caravan but fun

TFTC. While we were out in Myrtleford we thought that we may as well attempt a couple on the rail trail. Managed to find a parking spot not too far away and walked up the trail for a quick find. The day was starting to warm up so a quick admiration if the view and back to the air con.

Woo hoo first find thanks for those who planted it. No pen (my ameuteur start) but nice to learn how things are done.

Bae and Bae! 3 of diamonds

I needed an excuse to stop tftc

Driving to Myrtleford this morning for a sports meeting and I was a bit early so I decided to see what caches were around. This one popped up as the nearest and I just had to stop. I love Mt Buffalo views!

Nice quick find at GZ and I was back on my way.

TFTC BB

Parked off the road and went for a little bush walk. Found in the likely spot with Indianagleeson and shellumbus. Tftc.

TFTC!
Found with Shellumbus and RedLeader&Fox2.

Lazy day so thought we would spend it with the geomates! Tftc with indianagleeson red leader & fox 2

It was such a beautiful day I loaded up the new E-bike and drove to Taylor's Gap - did a cache maintenance from here to Myrtleford and back.

Hadn't checked this one in a long time and was sure the log would need replacing. However, thanks to Harrowang in April last year all is good with the cache. Did drop in a pencil today though.

Very simalair to the next one

Found the cache pretty quickly.

At Gapstead winery for lunch, and just wanted to find a few caches around here.

TFTC

A good hide but a bit steep for us old age is showing. Thanks Betty Booo LS

Tnfc

I was happy to have a rest while I stopped for this one. RFTC

another short stroll after parking the geomobile nearby. easy to find. an Artamus minor was spotted flitting overhead. tftc bettyboo3747.

Great views from GZ. TFTC

Out doing a maintenance run on a couple of BettyBoo's caches while she is travelling further west. Replaced the damp, damaged and very full log sheet. All good to go again. The bunnies have sure been busy around here!

17th find whilst cycling from Beechworth to Myrtleford. My thanks to the cache owners for the great caches along the trail.
As my parents sped by on the trail I found the cache and admired the magnificent views the cache is in need of some TLC as the log book is wet and mouldy. TFTC!

Traveling to a motorcycle rally at Nug Nug, I picked up a few caches. This was one of them. Thanks.
Crusty.

Found at 11:12 AM GAFF1 in the company of xambo4u. An interesting looking foot hole to get up on the embankment. Thought it was a snake hole at first!
Thanks BettyBoo3747.

11:12am Out and about with pprass on the bike trail warming up for the power trail tomorrow. Great day, blue sky and this part for the trail is flat or down, the only way to do it. Needed to make a slight embankment climb to retrieve this one. Forgot to take in the views as we kept our eye out for any ground traps. No easy find.
Thanks BettyBoo3747.

This one certainly lived up to its name today on such a glorious morning. The rabbit holes made for a good 'ladder' and I soon had the stash in hand at 10:50 and was on my way.

TNLNSL, although our BYO pen geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks BettyBoo3747.

I remember this one, even without the gps (dead). Hot morning and looking out to the view...

Tftc

Day three of our five day stint in Everton with Alansee and The Drovers trying our luck on some of the power and Rail trails in the area. Yay, more down hill bits.


We have had some fantastic views of Mt Buffalo this trip, not only from this side but also the southern side from the High Voltage series.
Once again the nicely hidden cache was found quickly and our names have been added to the log.

To save time and not take up room on the logs we signed as ACDC
Alansee AC The Drovers Team Crackers. (Mainly because it sounded good. )

Many thanks once more BettyBoo3747 for this series.

Found with The Drovers and Team Crackers on day three of a few days here.

Met up with Team Crackers and Alansee, for 5 days of fantastic caching around Beechworth,
Myrtleford & Yackandandah. We solved many puzzles, before arriving.
Day 3, we headed out to do the HHS series, and a few others in the area.
All caches were found quickly, and in good condition. Log signed as ACDC.
Many thanks for placing this cache, BettyBoo3747, for us and others to find.

Find number 3 on the way back to bendigo from hotham after anoter season, buffalo looking great today!

[:(!] Spending the weekend with my son and his family, having some spare time on my hands I went for a caching run for the day, parked the geocar as close as possible to GZ and walked in from there, on arrival at GZ the cache was located and it was in hand in a matter of minutes.

I like it

Another one of the list

Up this way to catch up with one of my cousins and chip away at a few caches in the area,
armed with loaded our GPS’s and enthusiasm we split the time between the two.
The caching proved interesting and varied with the types of hides found, Manny thanks to
BettyBoo3747 for the cache placement. TNLN SL

Slink1 had some family business up up this way so it was an opportunity to pick up some caches at the same time. GPS's loaded and filled with caches we havn't found we set off to make the trip worthwhile. Thats the best thing about geocaching - there is always some you haven't found. We had a great time and Slink1 did what he had to do too. Thanks to BettyBoo3747. TNLN SL

Probably not the best view we have had of Mt Buffalo this weekend, but we have had some pretty spectacular views of it. Still a great spot though and well worth the stop.
TFTC.

#750 Hit the rail trail today on the geobikes and rode from Mytleford to the edge of Beechworth and back to Everton, all up 51.5kms and of course grabbed a couple of caches along the way.

4 of 37 caches signed today. A great angle to view Mt Buffalo from, albeit a little hazy this morning. Good news is the fog is disappearing.

Another nice find

Today we headed out to do the High Voltage Power Trail.
This was a bonus cache that we found while out on the road.
Thanks BettyBoo3747

Day 3 of our caching trip to Wangaratta and the surrounding ares, we have enjoyed the puzzles, multis and traditionalise. The hides have been creative. lots of fun.The weather has been perfect. Thanks for showing us the area.

a great day of caching with J+J.AU and Baja15. Did a lot of caches in this beautiful area, including letterboxes, powertrails a lot of bike riding and even more! This is what the hole caching experience is all about. Thanks to all the hiders around here for some great caches!
TFTC Wilbert67

I joined up with J+J.au and Wilbert67 for a trip down South to find some caches and what an adventure we had. Thanks to all the cache owners here for a job well done and thanks to my colleagues for the company. A trip to remember with the trails most recommended. SL..TFTC
