VITSOL 9 - Pipped at the Posts Cooloongup, Western Australia, Australia
By Kyzabra on 07-Dec-13. Waypoint GC4F5WC

Couldn’t find this one today.
I am pretty sure I was at the right place as per the hint.
I’ll keep an eye on the logs to see if anyone else can find it.
I enjoyed the series Kyzabra.

Found but no plastic container there. Perhaps stolen

Cache in good condition.


This is my 3419 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 MICKS crew. Cache found and logged. Cheers Kyzabra!

Took a walk to pick up the latest VITSOL caches and to also clear up some older ones in the area.
Loved the variety of the nicely themed caches.

TFTC Kyzabra this is find #14107 for us.

Headed south of the river today after being granted a visa. . The sun is shining, on a winters day ,so a great day to be out and about grabbing cache’s .Thanks to the COs for placing and maintaining their for others to find .

Out with the Cockburn Boys grabbing some fresh publications near Rockingham.

Final one for the night before heading off to attack the new AdLab. Cheers Kyzabra!

Solved this one years ago and couldn't find, decided to come back for another try and yes GZ was all over the place. After reading the activities I headed over to the other side of the path and finally I can turn this frowny into a smiley

It was a lovely adventure today walking these tracks and finding the caches in this great series. This was a nice multi and I soon had the final coords loaded and headed on to GZ . All good here log signed and replaced as found thanks Kyzabra for the hide.

Found by Barton & Saw Clan

Back out in the Rockingham area for the afternoon. Quick find here as the weather starts to warm up.
Thanks for the hide

I thought today would be a good one to find a few caches around the park. I ripped around the trails on my MTB and enjoyed every minute of it.

This one had me jumping around a fair bit. I knew I was in the right spot but I second guessed myself, rechecked the coordinates. It’s definitely here. The grey lake muds do look like concrete.

TFTC Kyzabra

A welfare check today at VITSOL 9 - Pipped at the Posts.
All is good. Plenty of room in log.
Note GPS Is very jumpy.
Maybe the hint of fallen log/concrete may help.

Wanted to catch a few smilies that I wasn’t ready for last time I was in the area so was excited to find this one along with VITSOL 7 and 9.
Unfortunately I could only locate 1 out of 3 and came up empty handed here.
Think I got the correct coords but couldn’t find it. Ah well. Will watch out for this one. Tfth

Must be going blind. Couldn’t find, I’ll keep my eyes on this one if anyone else finds.

Started this cache on the way into the bush this morning and finished it on the return to the car.
Was pointed to a relatively open spot so put on the cache sense and found the cache a few metres from where I was pointed but in an obvious spot.

Thanks Kyzabra for placing this cache for me to find, this is find number 1796 for me.

Had. I problem getting the numbers. Looked in the likely spot, but eventually found it on the opposite side to where my GPSr was taking me. TFTH!

[:o)]

A little time this afternoon to continue the search for lost Jewels. The mystery is getting real.

Thanks to the COs for placing these caches, and so sorry that the Jewel Thieves are using your hard work to hide the booty

Thanks Kyzabra for bringing me to this location and taking the time to hide and maintain this cache. I found the cache at 14:49:00. This was my Find 1 for today out of a Total number of 6 Finds and 0 DNF for for this Caching Outing. The cache was found in Good Condition and I signed the log and returned the cache as I found it.

This find brings my total number of Finds to 4701.

Thanks to B12 for replacing this one.
Good to go.

Headed out for a days caching with Cravo10 between Cockburn and Mandurah, the majority of the finds being in Mandurah.

A great day out with perfect caching weather - slightly overcast meaning minimal muggle interaction. We were dampened a bit when we had a solid patch of rain.

Thanks to the local COs for a fun day out.

Out and about finding Caches with Barnzy12 TFTH

Did not find physical cache. Will try again another day

Found first two parts easily, but maybe my math was off and no find on the actual cache Two of us looked for 20mins. Damn :/ Awesome idea behind the cache tho! Thanks Looked with SgtAnt

Alas we couldn't find this one. Coordinates we're bouncing around a bit. Don't think it helped there was a couple of freshly felled trees. Hopefully it wasn't hidden by one of them.

Alas no luck here today. GPS was jumpy so might just be us

Nice simple multi the geo kids were happy to do. Lovely afternoon for a bush walk. Will have to come to complete the rest of the series. Tftc

Returned today to finish off the series. Nice little multi as part of a series - short and with maths even I could do. TFTC Kyzabra.

#12719. 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.

We parked near the entrance and our first stop was collecting the numbers for this multi. We decided to seek out GZ before continuing on our way.

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 parked at the parking co-ords and this multi was the first one we came across. As it sent us back for the second way point, we figured we might as well grab the final while we were here. Nice and close to the track.
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. The trees were giving the poor gps a workout during this multi, but it didn't take too long to get to final GZ.

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. A nice simple multi making the most out of some man-made features in the area. Thank you for the hide Kyzabra.

Well that's what you get for being a smartypants and solving the final coordinates before you arrive. I hunted about but just couldn't find it!!

Having worked out the final spot before we came, I was surprised to not find the cache. So on the way back out, I checked out the clues which were exactly the same as i had determined at home , So rechecking my calculations I found they were the same
Not too sure what was going on, we nearly decided to not bother checking again but as we neared GZ, I realised that this time my GPSr wanted us to go further down the track and nearly 30m from where it took us on the way in! Perhaps it needed some warm up caches before it was up for a multi, though my phone was giving the same error at the time. Hmm maybe it was a small solar flare?
We ended up walking straight up to it and found it straight away

We looked for this on the way in, on the way out our gps took us to a different spot and we found it

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.

Found it

Checked and all good.

Found this on the start of our walk and am completing on way out

Nice multi this one!! Not to much thinking required!!

Found VITSOL 9 - Pipped at the Posts. In all, I’ve found 15 of Kyzabra’s geocaches today. That entitles for 2 favourite points. The 1st favourite point goes to this (for its simplicity) brilliant multi ! No trackables to trade TNLN SL TFTH Kyzabra.

Completed this whilst grabbing others in the areaTFTC - I like a simple multi

Lucky last one - for today anyway. My counting style went 1,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,9 - thats right isn't it?
Had a great hour or so out here and grabbed 10 caches. Was a lovely walk out here with the dogs and saw no snakes and had no pesky flies bothering me today. A great series that I awarded 3 favs for. This simple multi was a great way to finish. and found all WP information and the final without any problems. Thanks for bringing me out here to this great reserve I have just driven past many times before and TFTC Kyzabra

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.

Nice little multi here. I like being able to find and solve in a simple series of steps.



TFTC Kyzabra.

This is my find #331 and find #3 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!!

Almost made a critical mistake which would of sent me into the middle of nowhere, lucky I double checked my answers!

TFTC!!

Found at 3:45:00 PM.

I wandered all around to find this prize when it is actually pretty clear where the prize is. I blame it on the......oh I have nothing, I was just cache blind for a while


Thanks for the cache Kyzabra, it was cache number 2106 for me and was 10 in my run of 16 for today's geocaching effort.

Cheers

When Gypsy Roaming started talking "X" and "Y" I felt quite sure we would be pipped at the post ,
but we set our minds to it and soon had the required numbers [^]

TFTC. Kyzabra

Nicely done multi found with IQO. TFTC Kyzabra.

Tftc Cheers

Another late afternoon wander in the bush, enjoyed the multi, GPSR was leading me all over the place at the final but I spotted the likely spot. SL TNLN TFTH

Found the waypoints easily but no luck with the final cache. Defeated in the end by leaf litter and itchy grasses. Cheers tftc

Great multi cache. Gps really playing up on the last few!

Found with axell33 and geology. Thanks for the cache Kyzabra

Found this one with Leega and the Geodog. Have been meaning to do this one for a long time now and today was the day. Moved through the way points pretty quickly and the final put us in between numerous potential hiding spots took about 5 minutes but spotted it. TFTC Kyzabra.

Enjoyed this 3 stage multi. Great walking after the rain. Cache was a bit buried and damp so put it back closer to the surface. Always amazed when these multis work out

Great multi, took me a while to find the final one!

Found ok. Thanks.

In the area chasing down a nearby puzzle and this one was on the way back to the car, well waypoint one was at least. I was a bit short of time and nearly just bypassed it but I'm glad I stopped and completed the fairly simple multi.

This is a great area with lots of birdsong about, I will be back one day to do some more VITSOL caches, just need to make sure my vaccinations are up to date.

I'm looking forward to meeting other geocachers in Busselton at the 'WA GOES BIG IN 2015' event. Registrations now open.

Originally logged under family caching name. Clan- Wallace.Now relogging under new name.

Very satisfying to do this muti & the whole series. We did this one last- don't ask me why. We learnt a lot about geocaching from this expedition. TFTC

Out with m4yb and the Geobikes doing some in this area. Nice little multi this one and the bikes still going well.

Thanks Kyzabra.

A very appropriate name for this Multi. Still dont know what the pipes are for, but maybe I will remember to ask the CO one day! Proceeded to WP2, a little bit of mental maths, a little walk, a find! TFTC Kyzabra!

Took a drive down to finish off a few in this area and get our 30 plus for today. Not too hot today so perfect for this walk.

Now that is our kind of multi.. simple like us.

A great multi cache in this lovely treed area to the north of Lake Cooloongup. Many correllas, galahs and parrots. Thanks for this multi cache Kyzabra

We wanted to come back and do some of the variety caches, so this was the first today. We brought along a muggle friend. TFTC . It was interesting but not at all difficult. Left a TB.

A lovely morning for a little bushwalk with LunaMaya - not too hot, not too cool just a perfect spring day
Loved this series for a bunch of reasons but especially because it had a little bit of everything! Thanks for taking the time to set this gorgeous caching trail up Kyzabra
Final cache for the day for me... a lovely walk, great company (thanks!) and a new fave area!

Today was finally the day , after looking forward to doing this series for some time . The weather was perfect as Spring is here at last. Out with Toniandco today, it took us about 3 hours to complete the series. We were also able to find some other caches nearby. I enjoyed the variety of cache types and the variety of hides. The bushland is beautiful . Cache found, SL, TFTC Kyzabra
* The end of an enjoyable outing ! Thanks Toniandco for your company Thanks Kyzabra for an excellent series, * Highly Recommended * - more please
Adding to our favourites for the series as a whole

very pretty place

A good little multi. On the way past GZ the first time, I thought it was a good spot, and had a quick look for a cache, but couldn't see anything. After collecting the information and returning to this spot, had a bit more of a look and found a very well hidden container. Going to give this one a Fave Point for the series. TFTC Kyzabra.

I had ridden past WP2 while trying to find a decent track to VISTOL 1 so knew the Y value. Counted the X value and had already decided that if soft sand was involved, this would remain unfound. I'd spotted an exit (at long last!!) from an area that I wasn't enjoying and GZ was only a 20m detour...too good to be true. Thanks for this quick find Kyzabra....I will certainly do more research when I next tackle one of your series so I am better prepared for the terrain so I can have the fun you intended.

Glad my maths was right. Was starting to doubt myself till voila. Cache. TFTC.

Thanks for the series. Enjoyed the walks over the past days,

This series has been on the radar ever since it was published. Today was the day and my geo-wife decided to join me. I was a bit surprised as it was late morning and already getting warm and she doesn't like the hot weather.

On the way here from VITSOL 8, the geowife commented that she was getting sand in her shoes and also mentioned that I had mentioned that the tracks were hard packed. I replied that I think most of the tracks will be hard-packed.

No probs with calcs at WP1, then backtracked to WP2 - again no probs with calcs, but the GPS took a few minutes to settle before we could home in on the final. Soon had it in hand and signed the log.

Thanks for the hide Kyzabra.

Quick find here with Chwiliwr and Gwiber. Log signed and replaced as found.Thanks for the cache.

Out caching with CTBH after visiting me in Wellard.Found this cache without problems on our walk around the tracks in the heat.Thanks Kyzabra for the cache.

Out caching with Gwiber after visiting her in Wellard.

Found this cache without problems after working out the coordinates. This was lucky as we had run out of fluid on our walk around the tracks in the heat just before we arrived at GZ.

Thanks Kyzabra for the cache.

I spent the day geocaching with the Ricklinks and Iluvtrekking...It was a great day with beautiful summer weather...warm but not hot..We found all the caches on the list plus more...Great company and beautiful weather couldn't ask for more.checked the clues here and quick find.TFTC

Out and about with richlink and Jacobscrew, thankfully the weather was kind to us today and it wasn't too hot walking the sandy and limestone tracks.
We found the all caches to be in good order with acurate coords to be good and a variety of containers.
Thanks for the series Kyzabra.

While the geo-men headed to #1, Mrs iluvtrekking and I completed this quick multi. Thanks for the series Kyzabra.
Too: TB

I was out with geoson on our way home from an appointment when it was decided that we will have a quick look for a couple of the caches in this series. We did not have ideal footwear for walking long distances so stayed close to our chosen parking spot. We found the coordinates for the final waypoint quickly, but my GPS put us initially in the wrong spot . I quickly sorted out what was wrong and the prize was in hand.

TFTC Kyzabra, we will be back to finish the series soon

Out caching with jinta29. Dad worked out the cord's for the final, but we couldn't find the cache. Then Dad found what he had done wrong and we got it . TFTC Kyzabra

Out and about today, and with an agenda - no going home until I get my 4000th find. After finding three caches on my own, I swung by and grabbed geobuddy Mark to join me on my quest. Had these last two on my to-do list, so headed over this way. Made short work of this neat little multi. Even dropped a trackable off to continue it's journey. Thanks Kyzabra

I found this one with mum (jasenjanine) ... thanks Kyzabra

Up early finding a couple of caches before the heat set in, I decided to drop by this cache... I had gathered the required info on my first visit to the area, but it was only today that I had time to actually hunt down the final cache

An nice walk on a now familiar track, the cache was quickly found by DangerMouse09... He then left me to the cache as he was too busy creating a dust storm along the path TFTC Kyzabra. Another enjoyable multi, although I was surprised that it had only one prior visit so far [?]

Published

had already planned to go out with skippy 46 to find some caches and it was nearly time to go when the phone started going crazy with new caches that had just come out. Quickly noticed they were only 4 kms away so i was on the phone to skippy 46 to tell her to log all the new ones on as we have a change of plan now. It was a nice walk through the reserve, parts of the track are quite sandy but all the caches were found quickly with spot on co-ords. We havent done the 2 puzzle caches, im hoping the geohubby wakes up early from nightshift to solve them for me lol......
We decided to do this multi as the 2nd cache and im happy to say we were FTF at 9.20am.
These are the sort of multi,s i love doing, QUICK AND EASY haha TFTC Kyzabra

A great easy multi....thats my kind of multi

Ooh yeh and I were happy to make a FTF at 9.20am

A lovely way to spend a Sunday morning, walking along a nice trail with your 2 legged friend and 4 legged friend (who had an absolute ball, discovering the bush).
