VITSOL 3 - Can you see the water yet ? Hillman, Western Australia, Australia
By Kyzabra on 07-Dec-13. Waypoint GC4F5V4

Dnf - looked everywhere very overgrown

Set out on a beautiful sunny day to complete a few of the Vitsol series caches.
No-one else out on the tracks today.
Couldn’t locate this one, there are a number of possibilities that match the hint and I checked them all.
I have been known to miss the bleeding obvious in the past and I suspect this one is there somewhere because who would ever blunder in here to steal it.
Thanks Zyzabra for the series, I’ll keep and eye out for someone to find it.

Not for me todaytfth

Looked for 20 mins. Couldn't locate

Cache in good condition.


This is my 3421 find.
Thank you Kyzabra for placing and maintaining this cache.



Geology rocks but Geography is where it’s at!
(I’m not a geologist I just like puns)

Out and about caching with the crew and this one beat me too!

G’day Kyzabra, unfortunately I wasn’t able to find your cache today (Thursday 25/8/2022). Cheers for the hunt anyway!

It was a lovely adventure today walking these tracks and finding the caches in this great series. This is one I found after circling quite a few times. All good here log signed and replaced as found thanks Kyzabra for the very neat hide.

Nice hidey

Determined to get to the 1000 find milestone I headed out today to this series to help close the gap.
My only DNF for the day.
My GPS was jumping again but I checked at the base of nearly all the small trees in the area.
Thanks for the hide Kyzabra

Always impressed by the ideas people come up with for micros. TFTC

From the sat imagery I thought I was going to get scratched up to get to GZ. I was really happy the bush was open here. A nifty cache. The well placed perpendicular groove definitely helped when opening the bison.

Picked up a few VITSOL caches this arvo. Thanks Kyzabra for the series, I have more to find still.

Nice find here with the geofamily TFTC

Lovely Sunday for a bush walk with the family plus Geodog Stan! Sneaky little find, unfortunately couldn't get the log out TFTC

It was a struggle but we got there in the end - another for our day

Found with family whilst on holiday from the uk tftc fav point awarded for the container

Done

Late log did with dad

Really liked this hide and great camo..
Was beginning to wish I'd chosen a cooler day to tackle this series. After encountering a couple of tiger snakes on my recent trip down south I was apprehensive about coming across anything slithery. Luckily for me, the coast was clear. Tftc

️ When I first got near GZ and spied a good way into the cache, as I started my approach a slithering striped yellow leg-less scaled creature retreated to its cover and I moved back to the centre of the track. Obviously it’s home because it was back out basking as I passed again on my return journey ️

Once I had composed myself (snakes are not my favourite creatures) I wandered a bit further to the east and found another open way towards GZ and cautiously proceeded to the cache.

Probably took about 15 minutes to get to GZ (did I mention I’m not a fan of snakes?)

Once in the area I looked and looked and was about to leave empty handed when one last scour of the area gave me something of a possibility and thankfully it turned out to be the cache.

Glad to get the find here and not having to come back and possibly run into my elongated reptile comrade.

Thanks Kyzabra for placing this cache for me to find, this is find number 1789 for me.

Argh no pen dropped it somewhere

A welfare check today at VITSOL 3 - Can you see the water yet ?.
All is good. Plenty of room in log. Have replaced with a clean log and will update coords a bit.

Out with Kapelula to find some more caches for the mystery souvenir promotion. This one was located easily after a couple of dnf’s in the area. Tftc

A quick find here. Loved the camo on this one. Found whilst out with I C Nothing. TFTH!

was a quickie

Searched for while with kids, no luck!

Nice spot thanks guys.

Quick find TFTH

I thought this was was fun! Neat little cache Would give this a favorite point but not enough finds yet! Found with SgtAnt TFTC

Quick find with NewNursy while teaching her the intricate of caching. Tftc

Solo hunt today with geo-hubby working and sun shining so had to get out and catch a few caches on my own!

I have wanted to tackle this series for awhile and finally had a chance to get started today.

Absolutely love your variety Kyzabra! I love the effort you have put in as well! TFTC! Cannot wait to bring rest of sazpazza for the remaining ones.

Quite a few russsssstles in the bushes and a tiger snake seen way too close for comfort later in the series but managed to add another 5 to the tally for today.

Yep GZ kept taking me to the same spot and as previous posts said, I was about to give up and bam it was there! Great Camo, amazing, love it! Well done!

Log is definitely full!!!

Definitely worth a Favourite!!!

Thanks

Thx

Nice bit of camo to find with The Griffin Unit 13

A cool camo on this one, although we needed a multi tool and the log is pretty full
TFTC Great series

Just when I was about to give up - found it! Log book full and hook rusted and broke opening
Have wedged in place instead as I didn’t have supplies to fix today. TFTC

Took us a bit to find.
Nice camo indeed
TFTC

Kyzabra; a nice piece of camo this one. Had fun trying to get it back into its spot as its attachment has gotten a bit worse for wear. Log's full but otherwise all in good order here. Thanks for the stroll.

Out on a bike ride close to home to pick us these caches I’ve been naughty and neglected to get.
Quick find by hubby. TFTC

#12723. Day 12 of our WA holiday and our 7th day based in Rockingham. After being a bit domesticated this morning we got away to a late start and went back to a familar area to gather up the VITSOL series. I would have liked my bicycle in here as I am not a happy walker or hiker and it was a long walk for me, even with a nice lunch break at Dome. We came back after that to do the long walk along the railway line fence. Fortunately, unlike the previous finders we saw no angry tiger snakes today.

Nice camouflage here. We had been looking in all the wrong places before I spied the camo. The log is full and although I had a few spare log sheets with me I didn't have one suitable to fit this container.

Thanks Kyzabra

Day Twelve of our holiday in Western Oz.
Bettyboo3747 and I have spent the day in Lake Cooloongup Reserve walking around doing the VITSOL series and few stragglers. That is apart from the bit we went back in town to have a long lunch at Dome.

We're looking, we're looking, but no wet stuff can we see!
I was looking in the usual places, but BB spotted it close to me. Good co-ords.
btw, the log is full, and we have run out of micro logs.
Thanks, Robmc.

Thank you! In the area for the WAGB event. On a cool morning papillon367 and I teamed up to give the vitsol series a go. Only spotted this clever one after trying to approach GZ from a different direction.

In Rockingham for the WAGB event, ullyssia and I teamed up to tackle this fun series. The weather was perfect for a walk and if there were any snakes, they stayed out of our way. This one took a few minutes to find as it blends in fairly well until you get close to it. Thank you for the hide Kyzabra.

Met up with the better half of the LAXA team for a nice sunny spring walk at the reserve. We found all the caches easily, saw wildflowers, native orchids, lizards, birds, butterflies and one very cranky tiger snake who decided she doesn't like us in her home and started to chase us off! so we politely obliged, backing away rather quickly, not taking our eyes off her! So all in all we had a lovely time collecting a bunch of smilies.

TFTC

Had some much needed time off this lovely Monday and with the weather being kind to us I had teamed up with Me&B for a round of bush walking. We started at VITSOL 10 and made our way through all of them. All were quickly found and singed. We have met some friendly and some not so friendly locals. Seeing a tiger snake crossing our pass and clearly taking notice of us very quickly reminds you who's lounge room you are walking through. I have thoroughly enjoyed the walk and all caches found. Thanks for placing and maintaining this series. Loved it.

Didn't find it but found a lizard

Find 4/10 on a pleasant stroll around the Rocko Lakes NP. After a flying visit for a FTF a couple of weeks ago it was great to come back and enjoy the area properly. Took a couple of minutes to land on the right angle. Nice construction. TFTC!

Wasn't sure about a camo'd micro in the bush, but proved to be very simple when approached from the right direction. TFTC Kyzabra.

Spotted something a little out of place as I walked in but didn't realise it was the cache until I got a little closer

Took us a number of minutes to locate this one, gps was jumping all over the place, thanks to ELH77's skilled eye it was found - nice and tricky this one. TFTC Kyzabra:)

Nice tricky one kept us looking for a bit GPS was all over the place .. but we found it!! Thank you with Autumn Owl

Sneaky!

It's been a while since Barnzy12 and I have set aside a full day for a caching adventure, so we hatched a small plan to have Thursday afternoon free for a half day caching run.

With time being tight this afternoon we decided to head to Rockingham and shoalwater to help cleanup the map before several new hides come up in the area around the WAGB event.

We picked up all caches in the vitsol series, the new PP2 caches along Parkin road and the caches around Point Peron.

Vitsol was a great series with a great variety of containers and hide styles, certainly lived up to the name of the series! Great job kyzabra, some fav points coming your way.

We then turned our attention to the point person caches which were all great with some nicely done camo jobs and a few more installments in the shipwrecks of Western Australia series.

We then tackled the new pommie Parkin caches which were all good quick finds and helped with adding some numbers to give the day a good total find count.

We also had a sticky Beek at the facilities on offer for WAGB, which look dry nice and some
Nearby accomodation which should suffice!!

Thanks to the COs for a great day out and we look forward to coming back to Rockingham for WAGB2017!!

Phew, found this one immediately after entering the GZ off the path. Caught my eye right away and I was signing the log in no time. Great hide!

Still can't see any water!

After Gizmo's cache I continued in the direction towards Rocko and found this one rather easily. It was on the ground so I left it there, not sure if it was hanging before!
TFTC

Found this one with Leega and the Geohound whilst out for a morning walk. We searched for about 15 minutes with no luck, then Leega made the call. Great cache, Loved it. TFTC Kyzabra.

Found with axell33 and geodog today. Got a few around here before today but didn't get this far around. It was a great day to be out and huckleberry enjoyed the run! This was quite a tricky hide that had us thinking all sorts of things! Then after some more stumbling around it just appeared!! Cool hide. Tyftc.

Tough one that one!! Lucky our geosense kicked in!!

23 August 2016. Late logging as only just got upgraded app.

Found VITSOL 3 - Can you see the water yet? Yeap! It is yonder beyond the horizon ! SL TFTH Kyzabra.

Tftc found it. Lovely area

TFTC log full

Took 15 but young lad spotted it great camo

PHEW!! found it relatively quickly log is full, sorry we didnt have a replacement due to the spur of the moment caching adventure TFTC

Finally after about 30 mins we found it

Nice camo was some silly buggers out in the area using the trails as rally circuits and a demo derby. Be careful !

Found. Careful in wet season as people are driving around

FINALLY!!! After about 20 minutes of searching high and low we found it.

Dnf

No water closeby yet, but luckily the cache was. Nice to be back on the firmer ground and glad I went backwards saved the easy walk for the way home. Great camo job here right on GZ, luckily I came in from the right angle or I could of been searching for quite some time.
TFTC Kyzabra

Sneaky sneaky was pretty cool tho. With Goorjus

Out and about in Rockingham this morning with the geowife. Had some brekky and thought we'd catch up with brother in law ThePanda81 and geonieces.

Great camo here found quickly though.



TFTC Kyzabra.

This is my find #334 and find #6 today.

Since recently moving to Perth, there has been a lack of geocaching on my behalf! So yesterday I purchased a mountain bike and I took it for a test ride today, along with grabbing a heap of caches as well!!

This one took a while to find, I spotted something out of place and what do you know!

TFTC!!

Down in Rockingham for a 2 day midweek caching adventure. A very clever camoed hide here that is worthy of a fave. TFTC Kyzabra

Tftc

Very creative, was good to 'log' this one. TFTC

Found at 2:47:00 PM.

Well I could see the salt, does that count? I wish that I could say that I saw the cache but that would be a lie for the irst 10 minutes I was there. I was in the right area, but focused on the wrong thing. After a while I spotted something that I discounted initially but something deeper inside made me check again and happily I was putting my name down again.


Thanks for the cache Kyzabra, it was cache number 2099 for me and was 3 in my run of 16 for today's geocaching effort.

Cheers

TFTC Kyzabra

Found it

Great hide TFTC!

Tftc Cheers

Great camo. Led astray by the bush whacking search masters who like going cross country. Tftc

Found by accident after a short search lol! Great idea!

Gps was all over the place but it didn't take long for IQO to spot the clever hide. TFTC Kyzabra.

We actually saw the water on the way to this cache....and some workmen in the midst of making some sort of fence line, a little way back. Really enjoyed this cache.

TFTC. Kyzabra

Very clever, tftc

Amazingly quick find. Awesome camo!

Took a few tries to get this one. Nice!

That was a hard one!

Easy find by husband who believed the hint - nicely done, Kyzabra.

Wow that was hard but hubby found it

Tftc

Great little treck

TFTC Sillicar and I are enjoying a nice stroll through the northern end of the lake. Lovely nature! Very hard hide. Sillicar and I were fortunate that our phones' GPSs were accurate. This is our second attempt at trying to find this one. Enjoyed the challenge.

TFTF! By reading the other logs we had a bit of an idea

Headed back to Baldivis this morning to see if I could finish off the Vitsol series of caches. Brought the geodog Charli along for company and we had a nice stroll of about a 5k round trip with not too many sandy sections. A couple of DNF's to start with but from then on it was fairly plain sailing.

I reckon I got a bit lucky here, after reading a few logs I knew that this might be a more challenging hunt. Don't know why but I spotted something, decided turn it over and to my surprise uncovered the cache. Nice camo, I have something similar in the works myself.
