Time for this series to be put to bed.

Still working on this one - sorry for the delay.

These are next cab off the rank as far as maintenance goes - sorry, but have been kept busy with a spate of disappearing caches over the summer months.

School holidays have arrived so cache maintenance will be happening very soon.

Uh, oh. Huge hiccup. A missing cache. What to do? Check with the CO and confirmation that it's not just my abject poverty of searching skills. Luckily the CO was also able to provide me with the necessary info to later achieve the grand finale. Phew! - drama over and back to enjoying this great walk on a lovely spring day.

Down for maintenance. No cache or travel bug found here.

Did not find today. Muggles settled in at seats with a couple of 6 packs. Will be back again.

Damp but signable t4tc

Thanks for the find...

did this one series as a canoe trip> some didn't have any writing stick or were too damp to log but this one ok . will need to come back with pen and mozie repellant to log the others

Awesome

Muggle partner came with me today so his 'man flu' can't be too bad or the fact was I didn't really give him an option
When I'm going to be this close to water I'd prefer not to cache alone in case of 'accidents'.

I downloaded this series and some around Meadow Springs area as hard to judge the weather until in the area and since it wasn't raining it was this series that was on the hit list for today

Was a lovely walk to gz and a quick find by partner before a further walk to a couple of others

Three down, many more to come

Dropped TB

All good here.

Decided on a trip to Mandurah today, to do some caching.
Many changes have been done in the town, since we lived there.
This is another short series, that we have had our eye on.
We had a fantastic bike ride along the river, and into the wet lands.
All the caches were well hidden and we located all, but 'D'.
Will have another look, on our next trip to Mandurah.
Many thanks for the cache, Mistraluna.

Nice easy one after my DNF at D. TFTC Mistraluna.

Another little critter to take of our list .
Found with the x-trailers.
Took trackables to visit.
TFTC

So glad this series is called critters and not creepy crawlies
Nice little series
Have enjoyed walking the trail to locate the caches

Good hide spot, Nice river... Signed the log. Thanks Mistraluna.

Another find along the river. Since the hide was nice and dark and hidden, it seemed like an ideal place to drop off the gecko geocoin.

great fun. Thanks.

Waiting for my wife and so I thought I would have a go at some Mandurah caches that I have had my eye on for a good while. TFTC

Still enjoying this walk. TNLN.

This is weekend is the start of my assault to get back on track for 1000 cache finds for the year, To start I thought that I would attack the little critter series after work today,.

Accurate co ords made it fairly easy to find these caches. It does get dark in these parts quickly at this time of night, but my trusty LED torch provided ample light to find the last couple

[:o)]



Thanks Mistaluna for this enjoyable walk and great series . [^]

This is my find number 2323

On our last visit the mozzies were so bad we gave up without looking so today was great. We were set to find our 300th so this was a good one for us. tftc

Tftc this one a little damp but log dry. Mozzies ferocious here!

Another nice cache location. TFTC

TFTC, out to get this series done.

[:(!] Did a three day caching run to Mandurah with geowife to incorporate the event being held there "J & J Say G'Day to WA - (GC47DF1)", and picked up a few caches along the way and this was one of them, after booking into the Caravan Park near Pinjarra, we were off again in search of more caches, parked the geocar as close as to Little Critters - E (GC43C2K) and rode the push bike in from there, on arrival at GZ I had the cache in hand after several minutes of searching.

A quick find after a more closer look TFTC

Headed out today with Holdfast7616 to grab a few caches. Noting the amount of time available to us, I decided to hit this series for maximum fun in the sun!

Another one that was not too hard. if you get it from the right angle! All good to go so far

Thanks for the cache Mistraluna

Cheers

Despite it getting on in the afternoon I hoped to have sufficient time to complete this series. And even though most of my blood had already been siphoned off at those recent caches I hoped to be able to survive the distance.
I have never been in these parts before and (despite the flying critters) it was well worth the journey. Thankfully they were mostly easy finds so didn't have to hang about too long as a target for the buzzing missiles, took note of all the necessary info and moved onto the next.
Would have liked to have found the final as well, but by this time was too tired and bitten to try for it in the dusk - with even more mozzies about (if that is possible...) so that will have to wait another day.
Thanks for a great series, Mistraluna - and heed her advice... take mozzie repellant!!

Thanks for the cache!

After visiting the thrombolites at Lake Clifton we hightailed it back to Mandurah hoping to complete the nine caches in the Little Critter series. This find makes us halfway to finishing now . The walking trail along the banks of the Serpentine is well sealed and nice and wide and the scenery is very pleasant. Surprisingly not many muggles using the trail today even though the weather has cooled a little and it is the weekend.

This little hide required a bit more careful searching and cache replacement but it was found after a few minutes.

Took a photo of the 'critter' and made a note of the number in the cache.
Thanks for the hide Mistraluna [^]

A pleasant afternoon with a nice breeze to keep the mozies away, so ideal conditions to finish off this series after selling more duck race tickets during the day.
Another great riverside walk that we would not have found except for geocaching. The City Council really does a good job at providing this sort of infrastructure, its a pity more people don't use and enjoy it.

This one took a bit longer to find and then extract as it was a neat fit, though it went back very easily. Clues obtained and log signed and off to the next one.

Thanks for the cache & the series Mistraluna [^]

Found after a little bit of searching

im not sure what i was thinking when i deciced to go out geocaching in 40 degree heat??? I managed to talk geo daughter KRISTYBELLE into coming with me so i filled up the esky with lots of water and headed down to mandurah. This one didnt take us long to find TFTC Mistraluna

Great idea for a series and an interesting location, but, my goodness it was hot and still in there and the mozzies were ferocious we are still covered in bites. Thanks Mistraluna.

Joined with iluvtrekking for a days caching in Mandurah. Although it was a lovely walk along the river path, the mozzies were ferocious today which took away from the overall enjoyment. Still we pressed on and found all the required 'Little Critters', some of them leaving more of an impression on us.

I parked on the left bank below the Pinjarra Road bridge and set out to do this series on foot from there ... found critters A to H without any drama, but couldn't do the finale because I didn't bring a print-out and my smart-phone battery ran out, so I couldn't access the web-site. doh.

By the time I arrived here, I was convinced that I had missed a turn-off as I had come here directly from Critters B, having by-passed C & D ... when I saw the path back toward D, I was absolutely convinced that there was another route that I should have taken. Signed the log and photographed the critter along with the data and decided to continue to F, G and H, then do C and D on the way back, as I knew by this stage that I wouldn't be doing the final today.

Found this one after searching for a couple of minutes and exchanging greetings with some passing boaty muggles. SL. TFTH Mistraluna

All back up and ready to be found. Unexpected high tides due to recent cyclone up north meant a couple of the caches were compromised. Please take care to make sure caches are all securely in their spots and not going to be washed downstream in the next high tide. Thanks

Disabled for maintenance. Will be back asap.

More fun for the troops, took us a few minutes. Made harder by a muggle kayaking nearby, took Mistraluna's advice about usuing photography as a reason for our presence. TFTC

Awesome series...I really do enjoy this type of theme...as usual in my haste I did not read descriptions properly and we had to backtrack a little....great paths, highly recommended for bikes and mozzy spray a must......thank you Mistraluna

Generic Log for Little Critters - A through H.

After checking in at the nearby caravan park, Mickeydv and I rode over to complete this series just before 7pm. Despite multiple layers of insect repellent, the mozzies were still out in force so we were grateful that these caches were generally quick finds so we could keep moving on our bikes.

We had to visit the first 4 caches twice since we didn't initially realise we were required to record the type of animal as well as the letter and number. Since we had to ride back on the same system of paths, this was only a minor inconvenience.

The lengthiest find was actually the cache that was most exposed; it was closest to the water and in plain sight, just not where we were looking for it.

The paths are perfect for riding so I'd encourage others looking to complete the series to consider using bikes as a form of transport. It's an efficient way of logging 9 finds well within an hour.

Thanks for this "new" series, it was one of the highlights of our stay in Mandurah.

Took the dogs out for a walk to find this cache, instead of bike riding, to let my legs recover after yesterday's ride.
Cache was found easily in the daylight. wot and I looked everywhere the night they were released, but didn't think it'd be here. I'm guessing it may get wet at some point.
TFTH anyway!

Glad we come from the Pilbara it makes the humidity of the day much easier to deal with and it definitely wasn't slowing our progress which was good because it was around about here that some nasty little critters decided to join our quest......

Cache found - code retrieved!......

Our second find in this series, at our favourite place for a paddle. Hope to find the rest soon! Thanks Mistraluna for another reason to come back to this beautiful spot. (geez those mozzies are a pain tho...)

The second of the series, we parked closeby and walked in when Luna Maya was telling me there was one only 11m away It seems that last night I had not put this one on the GPSr! We did the quick download and begun the hunt. We started getting too far away when I zeroed in on GZ again and found it in the spot we first looked the second time round

TFTC Mistraluna, beautiful spot for this series - luckily we remembered the aeroguard

Continuing this very enjoyable series with Jasenjanine and her 2 sons. I may be confused but I think it was after this cache that we decided to finish this series another day. We were a little hot, hungry and thirsty, or was it because of the newly published caches close to our homes (?) SL TFTC Mistraluna We will return ...

Chwiliwr left the car near here and walked to this one and the next three along the path. A quick find with a blank log.

Thanks Mistraluna for the cache.
