I have decided to archive this series

Too many prying eyes and a bit dark. Will have to come back another time

Easier to find

Found it!

2nd one this morning. Took a while to find. The kids were very excited when they found it.

It was hard to find

Having a great day geocashing with my grandson. Took a little while ti find. We are new at this.

Found it togeter with Schipfele.

TFTC Odefix

Odefix and me found this one while waiting for two friends. It was close to sunset but we wanted to try this one. We found it when it was nearly dark. While logging, it began to rain. When we were back to our car and the home of our friends, we had to change clothes...

TFTC!

After the gf read previous logs we came up with the cache fairly quickly.

Found with Ally's Angels! Thankful for the logs as our smartphones were a few metres off!

Greets from Switzerland

Thanks for replacing the cache. I made a quick find after reading jasenjanine's log.

Had to give up the search as I realised I was being intently watched from one of the houses. That's the trouble when you haven't got kids with you at a little park. There doesn't look like any good reason for you to be there. May have to borrow/hire some kids next time. TFTH.

Found while with The Three Sherlocks

Easy find while caching with watrekker

Day 32 and another wet day....this has to be the wettest September. rain settling in and another quick find

Mattpat quick find. Tftc

last scurry of caches to try and keep rachpat the lead in the cub division before it ends on midnight

Last run on the Great Scout Geocaching comp. Hope this me puts me in a place. TFTC

Out getting a few final caches before the end of the scout competition and to get my 300th find. TFTC

Out caching with my family and Mistraluna... Mum found this one! TFTC wellsy21

Continuing on the Coobee trail, this was the next cache on our list... We started off having a hard time as our GPS did not have updated co-ords! After no success I looked to CGeo and found the co-ords had now been updated. We then searched elsewhere and soon came up with the prize although my smartphone suggested elsewhere. TFTC wellsy21, another park the kids had fun at

On the road again, this time with jasenjanine and the littlies. Great day to be out caching, and the kids just loved all the playgrounds along the way. Gave us the extra bit of stealth we needed too. Quick find while they played happily, though we were a few metres north of where the gps's wanted us to look. Thanks wellsy21

No luck with this one. TFTH.

DNF after a 10 minute search of the 3 grass trees near GZ.

Tried to find it but could not, found a spot where it looked like it had been maybe it needs maintenance.

Only 34 caches to make my 2000th find. Didn't know how many I would accumulate today, but wasn't really expecting to get there today anyway. Another dnf here, too many muggle neighbours, and none of them offering to help me by telling me where it was hiding like they did with previous cachers. Just my luck though. Thanks wellsy21

TFTC found on a quick caching run with the geowife.

Out with iluvtrekking on a Christmas Eve caching run. We found this with the help of an observant neighbour who is part of neighbourhood watch. Apparently the area is used for a drug drop off area so he wanted to make sure we weren't there for that reason.

Found with the help of a muggle who told us where the cache was hiding after he had established that we weren't looking for drugs.

We had a mixed result this afternoon while attempting this series. Ran out of time but had a 3 out of 5 success rate so far. Beginning to develop a feel for a correction factor for my GPS and nominated GZ. TFTC wellsy21

Was with Keego to do this series found co-ordinates about 7m away on all but one cache so bearing that in mind we made allowances for this. Most we took a while to find and was thrown by cache size description being a small and then a micro with the same container.
The good stuff there was good variety in the way the caches were hidden and kept us going for the next with interest. The micro in the bush who would do that sort of thing ? Well it was nice to see the other side but I found it very quickly so had none of the frustration of a long search.
Thanks for a entertaining morning.

Out and about with AmstradKid, doing a run in the Coobie area, a quick find here, SL TFTC wellsy21

Mrs Felix out on an extended caching day with Everlasting The starting list was 48 caches by the time they left home although due to the heat and some built up frustration with continuing DNF's the list was culled down to 38.

So after some difficulty at the Dr Who Villains series it was time to do some non evil caching.

We were unable to search for this one last week as when we pulled up at GZ, twice there were 3 fellow entrenched on the park bench and far to curious for us to have a search.

Today no muggles out in this heat and a swift find was made.

TFTC

Another lovely park with 3 grasstree together looks so cute... Signed the log Thanks wellsy21.

Another quick find. TFTH

I decided to have a go at the Coobee series, only found 5 of the 8. Muggles caused problems to start with then things improved until the last one.

The muggles are giving me a hard time. The first two CooBee's I attempted the muggles defeated me and as I arrived a women was throwing a ball for her dog, I don't believe it. I was just about to leave when she headed off so at last I found my first Coobee.

Thanks wellsy21.

Quick find. I had searched in this area the first time I was here ... but I was looking at the wrong altitude. Unfortunately, I think a muggle may have seen me replacing the cache ... I did look around for muggles, but hadn't seen this one until I walked away from GZ and saw her watching me. Hope the cache is ok. SL. TFTH wellsy21

Didn't take to long to find TFTH SL.

Teensy container!

awesome day for bike caching run through area.....thanks for an enjoyable series wellsy21

[:(!] Went for an afternoon of caching and this was one of them, parked the car as close as possible to GZ and walked in from there, on arrival at GZ, I quickly had this one in hand, a local muggler came over and asked me what I was doing and I explained, he had heard of geocaching and told me that there was a lot of activity over the last couple of days. SL TFTC/TFTH

Had a busy day planned when the Coobie ones were published, so decided to tackle them today instead. With the rain threatening OOH YEH and I managed to grab them with only a sprinkle here and there.
Had seen same cache last week so it was a quick find for us. Hardest part was doing it up
I loved all the different shaped Blackboys (old school) here.

TFTH wellsy21

A quick find here as i found one of these caches last week. TFTH

On a night caching run in Coobee, this was the third one attempted ... as I pulled up near GZ, I noticed a muggle walking through the park, so I parked my car beneath a street light and got out and made myself very visible so as not to appear to be a threat.

The muggle then stopped on the path just across the other side of the play ground and she seemed to be staring in my direction. I thought this was a bit strange, so I just leaned on my car doing stuff on my phone. After a bit she was still standing there and I was getting a bit impatient, so I started toward GZ ... all of a sudden, a dog appeared in front of me barking, so I backed off a bit, then the dog turned around and ran off to join the muggle. They then headed off to a house across the road, and the muggle stopped again to stare in my general direction before going into the house.

I spent a few minutes searching ... again, didn't have a good GZ reading, so gave up for now. TFTH wellsy21. I will be back!

It took a bit of lateral thinking before I found this clever little hide.
Thank you wellsy21 for an interesting tour around an area which was new to me.

*FTF*
Was preparing to go out to Byford caching when the Coolbelup caches were published so came over to do them first. Found all but one without problems.

Thanks wellsy21 for the cache.

Help hide these, so kinda cheating
