Hi there Granett. While out on the road today we found this cache after a short search - and the container and log are in good condition. TN, LN, SL. Thanks to Granett for this cache - our find 7772
Spent the afternoon on a pleasant walk doing Boulderdash and a few surrounding cache. It took just under 3 hours for 17 finds and 2 dnfs.
TFTC Allied Pranksters Crew adopted by Granett this is find # 8018 for us.

Teamed up with Photo-Play today for a couple of hikes around Bedfordale. Carried out some maintenance on the way as suggested by the CO on the GC WA Facebook page yesterday - very timely! This was our second stop of the day and like the previous team, we couldn't find the container after a good search so we replaced it. Thank you for the cache Granett.
Found it. TFTC Granett. Out roaming the countryside with papillon367. We decided to try our luck with this series, Looked for some time here with no success. After extending the search and still no smiley, we decided to leave a replacement cache
I had a lengthy search for this cache but still came up empty. I suspect it's gone missing.
Thanks for this great cache trail. Up in Perth for the day to do airport pick up. With some time on my hands I decided to do this trail. Great use of different cache containers which where all well maintained. Found them all in good condition and with accurate GPS positions. Parked the car close to AP 551 which was well hidden from the road as description did mention the fact that cars get broken in to at the dam car park.
After doing the last cache in was only a short 1.2 km walk back to the car which was a bonus. This series gets a fav point from me. TFTC Granett

Out for a walk with Krabiboy and thought we'd try our hand at the Boulderdash series.
A little bit trickier here but Krabiboy picked up on it and had the cache within a few minutes of searching.

Headed out this morning to finally make an assault on the Boulderdash series as I hear their life may be limited and have been on my to-do list for a long time. Started off about 8:00am and was all done and dusted about three and half hours later with no DNF's.
All in all a nice stroll with only a couple of major ups and downs. I made sure that R0gue's logs were saved on the phone before I left which came in handy at a couple of spots.
This one probably took me the longest to find. Checked the object about three times over before deciding on one spot where it had to be and eventually had my hands on the container. Ended up being on a first name basis with the nearby horses.
Allied Pranksters I found your cache at 10:53am, this was the 16th of 19 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 3064. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.

I'm looking forward to meeting other geocachers in Pinjarra at the 'WA GOES BIG IN 2016' event on the 4th - 5th June. Registrations now open.

This is a series I have wanted to do for a long time, but just never seemed to get the time, or got distracted by other caches closer to home. Well, today was the day! A day that promised 25-50mm of rain seemed like an excellent day for a hike in the bush.
After finding the original Boulderdash first, I then parked the car at the end of Godwit Retreat, right by AP 566, and started my loop from there, heading directly into the bush, so that I could finish on the downhill bitumen section.
I actually found pretty much every cache hard to find, with my GPS sending me all over the place and eventually I would find the cache some 10m away from where it was sending me, I guess the rain was playing havoc with it. I was pleased to find all with the exception of the first one.
I DNF'd the first cache at 10:40am, and DNF'd it again at 2:23pm. Most caches took me an average of 20 minutes to find with the exception of a couple of the micros.
This was another one that took a very long time to find. I thought I was going to leave empty handed here as well. I actually searched the right spot a few times, but didn't find the cache. After searching far and wide, and making friends with the big horse over the fence I was very happy to finally make the find here!
Thanks for the cache Allied Pranksters!

Saw cute little birds on the way, nosy horse stuck it's head over the fence. Even a spot of rain. Tftf
TFTC! Teamed up with JLotsos today to tackle the Boulderdash series in Bedfordale. Was a very nice approx 6km walk, with only 1 DNF. Was great to complete a lovely walk with a well maintained series to match. Thanks AP.
Headed out for some caches today with Barnzy12. Today's track was the Boulderdash series. Parked up near start and final and headed off.
A fantastic clear track that surprises me hasn't attracted more finds. Nathan boy aged 9 had a great time and I encourage more of you to enjoy this beautiful part of the bush
Barnzy12 with the find going well 2 from 2

Came out to the Wungong Dam area to hunt down the Boulderdash series and a couple of other caches nearby. The roughly 7km walk took three hours with no DNFs.
We saw several roos in this area and some of them were not worries about us at all even when we passed 3-4 metres away from them. TFTH

The great cache trek begun early enough and with the boulder dash series in our sights the Overington clan and I were in hot pursuit! We had a few muggle family to make the clan bigger a tribe of 8 and the geohound set out to enjoy the bush and grab some smileys
With the geocars at the car park we trekked up to 563 for the first find of the day easy enough. Traveling up to 564, 565, 566 before making our way through the series in order I Suggest this is a nice way to head as the path can be steep - the hardest part being the last great hill you catch a glimps at it on the path at 563. Having lots of sets of eyes made for quick finds and quite a few laughs!
Enjoyed the novelty caches with quite a few having us jumping back.
2 DNF for the day.
3 easytags (I was pretty excited about them)
Great BBQ facilities feed the clan and every one went home with plans of the next great cache trip !
over all a great day had by all
Thanks allied pranksters for the series!
keep calm and carry on caching

Re-logging under new team name ONLINE ONLY (were formerly part of TheChatterboxes but the team had got too large). If CO is not ok with this please contact me. Thanks.
Headed up into the hills today with MNS13 & our two young'uns with a plan to do the Boulderdash series! After our dismal attempt at the first, we were hoping for a quick find to lift our spirits! And Yay, quickly spotted, but of course not in the first spot you would look

Headed out here today with my little offsider, and met up with Janine and little Tyler.
Overall we had a fairly average day in the finds department, but for the most part the walk was enjoyable, thanks for the cache.

Headed out early this morning to tackle this series and trying to beat the heat as it is forecast to be 38C. It is a beautiful track to walk and a nice little hide here...TFTC
We had been eyeing these caches off for some time, and today we went for it.
With a 5.30am start, it was a cool walk with great views, along the trails through the hills.
All were well hidden and in good condition.
Many thanks for the caches, Allied Pranksters.

We required a cache today to close out another day on our caching statistics calender and thought it was a suitable time to try for this series before the weather becomes too warm for stroles around the bush. No 2 for us with the hide typical of the nastey nature of the Allied Pranksters gang. We really enjoyed most of the walk (the down hill part) and the wildlife and floral display was bountiful.

I have had this series lined up for some time now and today was the day that the stars aligned and I had some free time to turn these green boxes into smileys. .
There were a variety of caches (some made me jump a little [:0]) and hiding spots along with some very friendly roos between 551 and 553 . Most of the caches were easy finds (although my GPS was a little jumpy at some spots) and I loved the effort (read up hill and down dale) required to get around them all.

Today the wife was at work the kids in school and the weather man said it was going to be a glorious day. This series has been on my to-do list along with many others for ages, so today was the day.
I parked the car close to a riding school driveway close to a bridle track sign in the hope to deter any would be thieves, plus it was at a doable distance from my planned final cache, It turned out to be slightly under a 1km walk back after the final find for the day.
Today I found 16 Boulderdash caches and one gong cache for a total of 17, covering 5.6km in some very nice bush, all taking a little less than 2 hours. Not 1 DNF tho there was a couple I spent too long looking for and a couple I just plain stumbled onto them with blind luck.
Spring has indeed sprung and the bush was alive with so many insects and animals, I lost count of the different types of bird and lizards I spotted, along with a healthy dose of Kangaroos, some sheep and a young lass on a horse who trotted by while I was looking for a tiger, I just kept still and low so she was none the wiser.
Wow another easy find, and not a micro maybe Allied Pranksters have decided we have all suffered enough, I hit the trail really enjoying the area.

Out and about on a big day out Caching with Kyzabra.
Didn't really set out with a plan, just to walk the Boulderdash series and then see where the day took us.
This was the second Cache of the day.
Cumulonimbus clouds overhead... i'm sure glad I brought my waterproofs...!!!
Another quick find at GZ !!!

A big day out had been planned for a while with The Machman.
The plan was Boulderdash, and then a few around the area to fill in the day.
Well, a few more turned the day into 37. And not a DNF amongst them.
This was our second find and another quick one.
The weather was still holding off.....woo hoo

This was a quick find here not by me i had not even taken the bag off my back. Signed log and on our way.
Found with richlink. The boys set off for a challenging ride on their bikes. Although there was nearly as much pushing as peddling, they returned some time later bushed but not beaten. Thanks Allied Pranksters.
Mrs iluvtrekking and I waved the geo-hubby's off on their quest to complete their assignment by pedal power. Well they were told not to come back with any DNF's - they succeeded. Although they were glad they decided to complete the series on bikes, there were some challenging sections which required pushing rather than pedalling. Thanks AP
TFTC. Nice afternoon walk amongst the roos and locals having a walk with their dogs..
Used all my Triple P training (Parental Powers of Persuasion) to get geoson out of bed and in the car before he realized he was being hijacked. I don't think it is asking too much for us to have just a few hours together, enjoying the scenery and the wildlife, while finding a cache or two. Yes, he grumbled a bit, but mostly it was an enjoyable excursion. Another quick find, this time by him. Thanks Allied Pranksters
This series has been on the radar since it was published. Today was the day and I set out with geo-wife and geo-dog. Parked the geo-Camry on Springfield Road close to AP 551 and walked the loop from there. It was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon ... nice views, good exercise, lots of birds and roos to be seen and some fun caches as well.
Second one of the series for us. Another quick find here, but then we hung around because geo-wife had decided to text our nephew, and as we found out later, she left her sun-glasses behind having removed them to put her reading glasses on while she wsa texting ... so we ended up back here to collect the sunnies about 3 hours later after we finished the loop.

[:(!] Went for an afternoon of caching to do the Boulderdash Series and fitted in a few extra ones along the way, parked the geocar as close as possible to GC4DX3A (AP556 Boulderdash) and walked the rest of the way, on arrival at GZ the cache was in hand in a matter of minutes.

The dogs and I needed a nice walk in the bush today, weather was perfect and I had a couple of hours to spare. Parked the car half way up the hill and followed the bridal path.
Dogs enjoyed this area as much as I did. Lots of roos about even half way through the afternoon.
Looking forward to do the rest of the series.

Out on a day of caching with Skippy 46 and Luna Maya and we decided to tackle the Boulderdash series. We decided to do it in reverse like previous cachers had done and im glad we did otherwise we would have had to climb up some steep hills even though going down the hills in certain places was quite slippery. We had a very successful days with no DNFS and we picked up a couple of other caches on the way. Most caches were quick finds and there was a couple that took about 15 minutes of searching to locate them. With a good track to walk on and a variety of contaners to look for it made it a very enjoyable day of caching. Happy to say we made another quick find here and we are now off to the last cache TFTC Allied Pranksters
Out on a caching run with Ooh Yeh and Luna Maya to attempt the Boulderdash series. I thoroughly enjoyed this series with the variety of cache containers and a FABULOUS walk trail with FANTASTIC views. We had a great day with no DNFs, and highly recommend this to everyone who love the bush.
With a quick find here we signed the log, returned cache and happily set off to the final cache of the series.

Finally some flatter terrain; only took 15 caches before I reached it! Terrain 2, difficulty 2. Sad to be nearing the end of the loop which took smack bang on 2hrs for MDV and I this afternoon including 2 caches that aren't in the series, minus 1 DNF along the way. Thanks for the cache.

On a cool sunny morning the newly released Boulderdash series was to much to resist. Nothing better than walking through the bush searching for geocaches and as luck would have it I had *FTF* on all caches bar the one I could not find. This one took a little longer than the previous two, still enjoying the fairly flat walk.
Thanks Allied Pranksters Crew.
