By Booo Booo on 03-Sep-13. Waypoint GC4MKF3

cache has been muggled time to let this one go

will check on this one this week

Another DNF to add to the list. Google maps does not show the playground that is now in the park. I looks quite new. A check might be needed.

Stood at GZ with zero m and found nothing. There may have been changes at GZ since it was placed.

I think this is the remains that is left of the cache.

I don’t think it is at the obvious spot

No Luck - Only interesting thing is some bird eggs in a tree

Found on puzzle event day in the park. Great place for a cache. Had a great time meeting all the other geocachers. Thanks for the cache Booo Booo. And thanks for the event The Booos.

Quick solve to finish my time at the nearby puzzles event today. Knew one, 90% sure on one, got the reference for one and thank goodness for Google. Once the event was over, a nice walk for geodog and I ended with a quick find.

I had a superlative day... lovely weather, great event, wonderful company, glorious caches and a fantastic time. OK I had to cut the day short when I scratched my eye and rubbed sunscreen into it for good measure... yep this was excruciatingly painful. Under the care of my guide, all was fixed so I could drive home... who knew "eye specialist" is one of his hidden talents!

I heard this puzzle mentioned during the nearby puzzle event... hmmm I'll have a look at that and to my surprise, I had already solved it... back in the eons of time! Woohoo!!! The geek in me knew most of the answers without using google. So made a point of picking this one up... great spot for such a big container and hidden kinda in plain sight. Thanks

We have travelled from Sydney’s Northern Beaches to Emu Plains for a short 3 day caching holiday, staying in a park cabin at the Ingenia Nepean River BIG4 Holiday Park at Emu Plains, and are planning to explore the areas between Penrith and Warragamba, including a stop-off on arrival day at St Marys. Hoping to collect some previously solved Puzzle caches and to also complete the Adventure Labs at St Marys, Penrith and Warragamba. Will also be on the hunt for Natural Wonders and Solar System Wonders, to complete the Wonders of the World souvenir challenge.

Today is the last day of our short Penrith holiday, but before heading for home we will be visiting the Penrith Showground Markets (ended up purchasing a pair of blue Budgies and a pair of Gouldian Finches) before completing the Penrith Tourist Trail Adventure Lab (but sadly ended up DNFing it's associated AL Bonus cache), then caching our way to Mulgoa, and finishing up with some previously solved Puzzle/Mystery caches at Kingswood. This was our 11th find of the day, and 63rd find of the holiday.

After collecting the Traditional caches along Mulgoa Road we visited the Bakery in Mulgoa to buy some lunch, which we enjoyed at one of the local Mulgoa parks. It also gave us a chance to get the new birds out of the car for some fresh air & quiet while we ate our lunch.

After lunch we set off to find this Mystery cache, which the family's chief puzzle solver had solved before leaving home. We soon arrived at final GZ and made a super quick find of the good sized cache container. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC Booo Booo.

Find #4572

Just catching up on logs. On my way out to Glenmore Park with Meritonnn and stopped to grab this. I loved this cache, heaps of cute little swaps in there including a Star Wars one! TFTC!

On our way to Glenmore Park for some caching and couldn't resist stopping here on the way for this cache. Did need some help from my friend Google A great sized cache full of treasure in a lovely tree filled reserve. Tftc!

I was very worried about my coordinates because I got 2 different answers to many of the questions. In the end I followed the arrow to the coordinates I put in and it took me straight to a logical hiding place where there was a MASSIVE container waiting. Love it. TFTC

After working out the clues at a nearby bench we left the geokids at the playground while we went to complete caching duties. Big cache for a place that would be seemingly busy. Not busy today though. Tnsl TFTC Booo Booo

Had to Google all the answers except D. Hadn't even heard of any of the others
Was a quick find at GZ with a good sized container.
Lots of people in the park today but no one around GZ.

SL TNLN TFTC

tftc . the always intelligent Mrs Google led me 8n the right direction .

Worked out with the help of Google. A quick find at GZ once we went back over our answers. ..B we had to tweak. Great size cache-now for morning tea in the reserve.

After leaving the OzGeoMuster site we headed north to pick up some presolved puzzles and whatever else came our way as we explored the unfamiliar suburbs of Sydney....thankfully Google is a great guide. Dark by now but that didn't stop us picking up this presolved puzzle as we made our way to Penrith to our o/n accommodation.
Thanks Booo Booo for the mystery for kids and us oldies that had to use the internet to find the answers lol

Time for another day chasing mint tins with marj01. With a predawn start we headed from the eastern suburbs out west to Penrith. We started caching at Wallacia and made our way north through the suburbs to Jordan Springs. We had lots of finds which included trads, multis and mysteries; also some dnfs that were too well hidden for us to find or weren't there. I lost count on the number of mint tins found but there certainly wasn't an oversupply. Thanks to all the CO's for placing their caches and TFTC

Ocw oldmorty and a nice quick park and grab
Nice sized container
Thanks for the cache

Thank you so much for the lovely cache. Some nice stuff for the children to play with too.
Hint: Use the younger sister's full name (not her nickname) for the coordinates.
Treasure left, log signed, a beautiful Sunday for geocaching.

Solved this one some time back and too the chance to pick up today. Picked up a Tb. Tfrc!

A weekend road trip, and we thought it would be great to revisit this part of the country, enjoy some fresh air and hunt some caches. The Boos family are amazing. We enjoyed the history lessons and much other merriment as well.

This one was neat!! And I admit I had to use Mr Google a lot !!!

Thank you, Booo Booo

Worked out the puzzle a while back. In the area today to pick up. Tftc

Solved this puzzle ages ago and was finally in area today to be able to make a quick find TFTC

Quick solve with a little help from our friend Go....... & quickly had the CIH then dropped it when the cache guardian moved in the torchlight. he moved on & we signed & returned as found. thanks to Booo Booo for placing this cache.


Log 1541 Streak Day 593

Found with Deep_99. I was a little worried that Deep knew some of these answers, me I had to Google them all. Nice quick find although the cache guardian did freak Deep out a little. SL #3678 on streak day #2234 TFTC

That was wheely wheely hard cos we are adults not kids and had to google every every answer. ( needed to kill some time so picnic people could leave the nearby park rotunda so we could search for another cache.)

It didn't take long to solve the mystery, thanks to the great Oracle Google. I knew only one answer out of the six questions, namely the one for the Harry Potter question. I suppose my time will still come when I get to immerse myself in the other characters as my kid grows up and discovers them. At the moment I'm learning about who's who in the Paw Patrol!

It was nice and quiet near GZ today, so I could take a leisurely stroll to GZ and have a look for the container. No difficulty in spotting it and retrieving it, either. Nice to see a larger container again.

Signing duties were completed in situ, and everything was packed away again as I had found it.

Heading to Penrith for a one day conference, took advantage of overnight accommodation on offer which would also allow time for some cache stops along the way. Managed 34 smilies (24 by the Boo clan so sorry for the influx of log emails!) including this quick mystery I spotted while plotting my PQ. Got to admit I had to rely on google more than any personal knowledge or kids I know though without an online checker I did run my solution past a previous finder who considers himself a “big kid”. In a non-suspiciously marked company car, I literally parked alongside GZ and had extra privacy while retrieving and signing the log.

found it today tftc

13/11/16. 8:50 AM. Cache #4391.
3rd of 12 finds (& 1 DNF) today - Glenmore Park & Mulgoa.

Came here after "A song by Terence Trent D'arby". Last week I'd done another caching run through Mulgoa getting caches along Mulgoa & St Thomas Roads, but I never made it any further south than "Lone Chimney". Today I'm sort of continuing further down from there.

This puzzle I'm not sure how long ago I'd solved it. Many of these clues were reminders of Yelyac when she was a bit younger; one or two other clues I had to look up. Today, I went straight up to GZ and made an easy find. Signed log, replaced as found and headed on to "Mulgoa". TFTC.
} : )

Our first cache on a beautiful day out in Penrith and surrounds. We chose this nice easy mystery as part of mission GZ. Lovely area. Thanks

Quick find today TFTC

Found on a visit to Mulgoa. I had to do some research to answer the questions, but got the answers right! TFTC

#2880 (4 of 8 today) (Streak day 315)

Decided to head out west today for a slew of caches out Mulgoa way - the land of **The Booos**. Found eight (including some previous DNFs) but DNFed a few more as well. I should sue!
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
With my youngest Geokid being 21, it was up to me to work this one out myself. Actually knew 3 answers anyway, although one was ambiguous - first / last / all?

And I'd made one mistake anyway, as I immediately realised when I turned up at my originally calculated coordinates. Easy to fix that one though, so just had my ambiguity.
Again, near GZ it was obvious which was right, so made my way to that spot - CIH!

Completed signing duties and replaced.

TFTC Thank you for going to the effort of hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity.

Out with the geowife and JJCC today picking up a few caches between Rouse Hill and Warragamba Dam whilst on a pleasant drive exploring some of the back roads enroute. All up we ended up finding three caches for the day, with one DNF and also pulling the plug on three additional caches which we will tackle on another visit.

We had worked out the coordinates for this kid friendly cache several months ago and today was the day to make a find. Pulling over on our way back home we made our way into Mulgoa Park and walked the short distance required to finally make a find on this cache. Had a bit of a struggle extracting this nice huge cache container from its hide location, but all good. Once we had the cache in hand we quickly signed the log, replaced it, then made our way back to the car for the trip home.

Took the Travel Bug Bart for some new adventures. Both the cache container and log are in excellent condition. TFTC Booo Booo

Out with Team Merlin between Rouse Hill and Warragamba Dam finding a few caches.

We had determined this Mystery for Kids cache several months ago and today. While in the area we decided to complete this cache and claim a find. Following the coordinates as calculated we ended at a local park. Parking close by we then walked a short distance to get to the GZ required to finally make a find on this cache. Great to have a change to find a cache larger than a small or micro. With cache in hand we signed the log and replaced it as found. Both the log and cache container are in excellent condition.

Nice walk around park. Left tb

I was down this way a couple of days ago but the area was full of non believers so gave it away but today all was very quiet so after a quick hunt the large container was soon found and with the log signed I was on my way.
Thanks to Booo Booo for placing this cache.

The geo-widow was having a girlie day in Penrith with her best friend today, so I came along for the ride and took the opportunity to do a caching run to Mulga and Warragamba. I had no idea who any of the characters were but Google came to my rescue here ... and I was then able to make a quick find here! Thanks for the cache Booo Booo, and for the smiley.

Mystery for kids is right, as I could only answer one question. With no kids to call on it was some good old fashion Google searching until I had the answers. No one around GZ so it also made a nice stop for a cuppa. Picked up TB, thanks.

Fun little find!

First cache in a long while. Returned a trackable to the wild that I have misadvertently held onto. Great cache to get back into things! Was well hidden and camp was perfect, even after rains.

Found after attending the nearby Pi day event. TFTC.

#123 While going to the nearby Pi event made sure I solved this one on the way. Thanks for the cache

Great mystery for kids indeed.
Thanks for the hunting and cache.

An interesting puzzle help with Geofriends and whitepaws9 and nice hide... Thank

Found today, the last finder didn't cover the container, we were in the area having lunch. Wazza9 did the puzzle before leaving home. Thanks Book Booo

Thanks Booo Booo,
A much easier task than the first cache we tried to find after lunch today. We prepared before leaving home this morning and looked at Google earth.
After parking at the nearby area, we didn't even need the GPS. The vision from the computer was perfect and we knew where to go to.
Yes, our answer was correct. Visiting a group of trackables getting together to go to the Mega.

On the Way to Warragamba dam, we also stopped here.
We found this nice cache.
Thank you for showing us the spot.

Team sissifalke

Fun multi. Nice park. Tftc

I watch or hav watched most of these shows and read the harry potter series so just had to google the rachel n kirsty question and made a quick find. Tftc ! Adventure time is the most random show nd still pretty awesome.

Found last week but forgot to log it! Nice puzzle.. This was our first mystery cache

Slowly ticking off the caches close to home. The wife solved the questions quickly to have a set of numbers. Put it in to find an easy set of co-ords which proved no trouble to hunt down. An easy one for my 34 weeks pregnant wife to complete! TFTC.

A quick way find after having a go at solving the clues found with Bouw2102

Found with Salem and Bouw2102 at the local event. Great hide tftc.

Being a kid at the event I thought I would follow some adults and ended up here. Tftc tnln

Found while at the Booos event

Found while at the Boos event ..Adventure time n princess bubblegum rock

Tftc!

TFTC! geochild loved it

A mystery for the 'mushroom but fortuitously yttam had preprogrammed the answers in anticipation of attending the Souvenirs event. No qualms in tagging along to the calculated GZ, or indeed signing the log. TFTF Booo Booo

Found while at 'For the Souvenir Collectors' event, with Salem & Rios.
I had to do a lot of surfing to find the co-ordinates cause I don't have young enough kids to help me out.
TNLN. TFTC.

Thanks Miss Booo for the help great cache

Chiming in as another of the many finders who grabbed this cache today at the event.

Thought that, with a week until the event, I'd solve the puzzle in advance to make the find while I was here today. Seems like others had the same idea. A few others tagged along to find, was happy to share the coords I needed google to solve...
TFTC.

A great day out with Whitemushroom, Yttam and BisyGisy! Making a few finds after briefly stopping at the souvenirs event!

found while at the Booos' event.

Some how had two olutions to go on in my gps, but the first try turned out to be the right one! Could be a lot harder on a busy weekend day?
TFTC Wilbert67

Found it! YAY what a great sized container. Will have to bring the Niece and Nephew next time! see If they can find it! Thank you

Found during a run around the area today with The Rats, steeba and Big Matt (also loosely known as The Gangsters).

This was a bit of a last hoorah for the group before The Rats and family head off on a lap around the continent and another terrific day of caching.

As it turns out, this was the only puzzle we solved in advance of the run and after arriving at GZ we made a simple find.

Thanks Booo Booo for the cache.

[Blue]Our 8513th overall find.

Found on a Lower Mountains / Western Sydney caching run with FarmerFrentzen, steeba and The Rats. Having solved this one before we left we grabbed it today as we headed north.

Thanks Booo Booo for the cache. [/Blue]

Prior to The Rats heading off around Australia for some time, the Gangsters (myself, The Rats, Big Matt and Shell and Farmer Frentzen) got together for a day's caching around Warragamba and the Lower Blue Mountains.

A little research had this one solved and a straightforward find today. TFTC!

There was time for one more Gangsters gathering before we headed off on holidays. Today big numbers wasn't on our minds, we were more interested in a fun days caching and thats what we had.

We'd solved this one before leaving home so as we drove through Mulgoa today we made a quick detour and the cache was in hand.
Thanks

Nice little mystery cache and an easy find full of goodies. TFTC

No1 for the day

The kids loved solving and finding this one, had the puzzle worked out for a couple of weeks now and decided to find today on the way to Warragamba TFTC

#1 for today

Tftc

Took a while in the wet but got there eventually.

TFTC, That god for Google. or I would not of had a chance for doing this one.

I am constantly telling the kids not to watch those stupid cartoons.... Well.... They came in handy today as they were able to answer the questions. So the cache was no Match for them... Tftc

Our co Ords were a bit out but we figured that we were close. After a bit of a search arround we eventually solved this mystery like a pair of kids. SLTN..TFTC

Did some research last night and came up with some coop ods, so here we are, got a smiley. TFTC. Were all kids at heart.
