366 Days of Geocache Hiding Crafers West, South Australia, Australia
By Freddo on 10-Dec-13. Waypoint GC4TER2

Mission complete. 100% of 366 days filled.

What a great event .We all had a great time.
Took trackables to visit.

Found this cache with my father. Logging on my own account.

I am sorry I missed his one. (I need to sort out my notification. something has gone wrong.)

Well done, I don't know how you find the time to read all the emails, let alone keep the maintenance up.

You must be very well organised.

Again, well done.

Freddo was at this event and enjoyed your company. Thanks for the fun.

We grabbed some light jackets before we left home thinking they might come in handy, but had no idea how necessary they would be. It was chilly. Good to catch up with friends even briefly.

We come to pay homage to the master. We are not so worthy to be in his presence, the master of hiding and finding! Have never come across a cache hidden by Freddo that was not worthwhile and some of our best caching experiences have been on Freddo hides.
Thanks for the event even if we didn't venture down the hill to the new cache. Will save that for another day.

Today we are expecting quite a lot of geocachers up here to celebrate Freddos 366 Days of Geocache Hiding cache release, we arrived nice and early in the afternoon to mark of a few of these caches lurking through this area, the terrain was a bit tough for me as i prefer the flatter style ground lol, upon saying that i really enjoyed the walk through here with geowife and Earthlight, the views from up around here are amazing and since the opening of the new freeway this is my second or third visit to these areas, once a busy road with semis and cars is now a ghost town area with a the occasional car and the pushbikes that enjoy the road that they almost have to themselves, i look forward to returning to pursuit the caches that still lurk through this area.

Well done Freddo- what an amazing milestone! Signed the book, ate a freddo, FTF flash mob on a 'Uni Mind', a night cache, chatted and left. A fantastic evening. Thanks so much Freddo! Have a great holiday! Know you will, having been to Europe 7 times!

And thanks to CPWanderer for the great company!

Arrive early to get a good park. We were starting to worry as it approached 7pm if Freddo would actually arrive at his own event!
Enjoyed the company, offloaded some cupcakes, picked up some rubbish, and went for a wander with a huge gaggle of cachers for a big joint FTF find on number 500, which is always the best way to get a FTF.
Well done Freddo on all your quality hides over the years. Many have been an inspiration in our own hides or the source of great stories to tell about what we got up to over the weekend.

Congratulations on your great hiding achievements, a truly staggering effort. A great place for en event, with several walks into the park to grab caches.

Great to catch up with so many cachers even if we didn't get around to saying hello to everyone.

What a great place and reason for an event. Having recently completed my 366 find grid have trouble getting my head around the dedication required to fill a 366 hide grid and then manage to keep by far the majority of them available.
Extraordinary work Freddo.
And thanks for showing me another part of the hills that I haven't cached anywhere enough.

I arrived to find the party in full swing, congratulations on the double celebration Freddo.

Arrived and grabbed an offroad parking spot for the geoJazz, party had started but more were arriving. and we did our bit for the CITO.
Great turn out for a Great cacher but suddenly they took off into the bush, I wonder where too!
Had some good chats (inc. Fab + Mrs Freddo about France ), there was a orange smokey demo

Congratulations on all your Hides and may there be many more, even a Paris one maybe...

Cheers 'scargoes (P&F)

Got out of work at 5.40pm and between then, and when I got home about 2am the next morning, I managed to locus cache 11 smileys and 5 FTFs!

What a blast! Well a red flame was more like it
Congratulations Freddo on this huge effort and many thanks for all of the places you have taken us to with your cache hides! [^]
Loved chatting and sharing laughs with both known and unknown geocachers here and it is always great to meet those we haven't met before
Enjoyed meeting Mrs Freddo, too , despite my interrupting the conversation with numerous sidelines to other people.

TFTE Freddo

Just one of us attending - the other will be there in spirit and via conference call while he is working

Bug drop

Hi Folks
If you have any travel bugs in your swag that want to get to Europe this event would be a good time to exchange them with Freddo. I will give you a couple of bugs that do not want to travel that far.
See you there.
Freddo

Us too!
Cheers

Caught the tail end of the event but was invited to sign the logbook! Didn't even know of the event's existence as we rushed up the hill to try and get a FTF on the cache that was published. I turned up at the carpark which was full of cars, and then saw a few familiar faces. And lo and behold it was an event! Got to meet and talk with a few people on the way down and back up to the cache and had a bit of a chat before we left too. An unexpected event just before dinner! Nice! Thanks for the event Freddo! And congratulations for filling in the calendar!

Thanks Freddo for a great.... if a little chilly for December .... Event!!!!!! Congratulations on the milestone!!!

Managed to attend and stay longer than expected after feeling a bit poorly after work today. A great turnout in the bitterly cold weather too! Enjoyed a half a Freddo cake and lovely chat with old friends. Nice to meet JJ52 also. Congratulations Monty from PG

Never been to an event in a carpark before. Was great. Heaps of cachers. Gadanga and ttrogg enjoyed coming up the old road again, apparently it's been many years since they last used it. Ate frogs, and other nice goodies. Mum loved the cupcakes. Had some adventures caching and had a great time. Thanks for the event Freddo.

What a feast of frog!
I saw frog cakes, frog chocolates, frog puzzles, frog TB's, a frog cache and a frog with a flare[:0]
Definately a groggy celebration
Cheers & congratulations Freddo

If you put on an event, they will come. They did. The turn out shows the esteem of the amphibious one in the caching community. Well done Freddo. I hope you don't get too legless in France.

Congrats Freddo on your hide milestone. I am truly grateful you've hidden so many caches, several have helped me enjoy caching here in Adelaide. When you told me you were going to host the event I put it in my diary and made sure to watch for it to publish. What an awesome turnout -- and very nice to see a stat that's not "finds" related get some attention! . well done!

A good reason for an event, congrats on placing all those caches for us to try to find... hmmm must be some more we need to hunt down.

Made two quick stops to congratulate the Frog on his milestone. One on the way up to Lofty and one on the way back. A 20km is always a little easier broken up with a chat.

Congrats to Freddo for meeting yet another milestone (this one being less attainable for mere mortals). I enjoyed meeting other cachers again and others for the first time. Thanks for putting on the event Freddo.

Congratulations Monty on 366 days of hides and on 500 total hides. You are truly the Doyen of caching!
Have a great trip to Frog land and we look forward to hide #501 as I am sure the streak will continue in 2014!

Only half of the M & M's made it but it is important to celebrate such an amazing achievemnet and gift to the caching community. As a chocolate cacher, I enjoyed the Freddo themed food, the company of many of the nicest cachers in Adelaide. Good to have a chat with "Are We There Yet", bananabros driver and father, cache with Ismartis for the first time, and catch up with Jezza and Mandy, cache with the very helpful Semik and laugh a lot with some caching mates.

Hope Monty, Sally and family have a blast (chilly maybe) in Paris, and as brisal5 mentioned, hold on to your legs Freddo.

Owl is still to achieve 366 days of caching, so is in awe of someone who can achieve 366 days of hiding! Congratulations Freddo and thanks for organising refreshments for a rather exhausted Owl.

It was good to celebrate such a wonderful achievement, 500 caches is a lot and hidden over 366 days! I doubt there would be many who can claim this milestone. Congratulations Freddo and thank you for all you do , have a great time in Paris.

While most of us struggle to find a cache to fill in every calendar day, Freddo has managed to place a cache on every calendar day, now that is dedication. And the caches are often well made as well.


SA recently went past 10,000 placed caches with GC.com, Freddo accounts for around 5% (assuming most placements are in SA that is) of that total.

We managed to find that one last cache placement that not only filled the calendar, but was the 500th placement, is there no stopping this amphibian on a mission, I for one hope not.

While there got to meet up with many people I have met before and a few new people as well. In all a great time was had by all.

Kudos.

The frog made a grand entrance just as we were wondering if he was going to make it to his own event.
Great to see so many cachers celebrating and coming to this event.
Got to chat with lots of people and didnt end up leaving until about 10:30

Well what can I say but a great event and congratulations on your 366 days of cache hiding.
Loved the chocolate frogs and free log books.
Took trackables to visit.

It was a ridiculous idea but wow it was fun. Pity about the weather. Seriously though thanks for the encouragement.

Congrats on the hiding effort but how to spoil a party by getting a cache published. TFTE.

What a great evening celebrating Freddo's two milestones and meeting lots of other cachers and putting faces to names.
I have found a number of Freddo caches, but still have LOTS to go.
Congratulations Freddo and keep them coming.

Owl is coming and will come early to do some other caches - depending on whether or not she can find a walking partner. There are new boots that need to be worn in.

Looking forward to it.

Congratulations Freddo - a great achievement. Will drop by.

Parrot will come have a look

Congrats Freddo on a wonderful achievement! Would love to be there to help you celebrate but I am currently travelling in China for work. I'm now in Wuhan - a city of 10 million but with only 3 caches. That's 0.0000003 hides per person. Hope everyone has a great time tonight!

I am hoping another chocolate lolly or two will drop in for this daily cache.

Geocoin drop for a trip to Paris

Double celebration. The cat is out of the bag. Freddo's 500th cache is hidden nearby. A short but steep stroll to the cache, which will be formally published on Tuesday evening. See you all there.

Yes gadanga and I will grab a ride with ttrogg to celebrate your achievement. Also to find a new cache. See you there.

Would love to come and share your milestone and meet other cachers.

Putting this one in the diary. Was hoping to dig up the caches I hadn't logged that filled in my calendar so I could log the nearby 365 cache. However I'm missing July logs somewhere and may be subjected to re finding those days in 2014... Oh well, I'll cache anyway! Looking forward to the celebration -- see everyone there!

Second event in nine days- how awesome! Well done on the amazing milestone Freddo! Looking forward to it!

Well done Freddo. Will come along.

Work and life permitting I'll be there for the event and the nearby caches.

Look forward to wandering by!!!

All being well, I will be there to celebrate the mass hides of Freddo

We will be there.

Such an auspicious achievement and so close to home, how could I not attend!

Heading off to the riverland the next day but will do my best to be there to help you celebrate.

3LG will attend : )

will come up. nice to have a local event. will try and muster some tbs for our trip to nz

Congratulations to the Frog on a mammoth effort!!

Unfortunately, we won't be able to attend the celebrations as we have a prior engagement that is nowhere near the event.

We do thank you for your efforts and a Frog cache is always an interesting cache to find!

Won't miss this one I hope

An epic milestone indeed. I expect I'll be there.

We'll be there, can't miss this milestone.
Maybe a good chance to launch our new matrix challenge, appropriate too!
What kind of red to bring?

Ooh, our favourite place for caching! Will definitely be there to help Freddo celebrate this milestone. Would you like us to bring appropriately themed cupcakes?

Well that explains a hell of a lot!!!

I wish I could be there but driving to Adelaide and back on a Tuesday is probably out of the question...

Yeah why not, and wow what a hide effort that is.
So have you managed to get trigganomics to attend as it was all his suggestion???
Gayle & Mark

Oooh an event close to home - Yay!

The three of us should be there. Sounds like fun.

Congratulations and thank you for hiding all your caches for us to hopefully find one day.
We would love to be there to help you celebrate but unfortunately this is our busiest season and Mr Crackers wouldn't have a job to come back to if we did (might not be a bad thing).
We hope you have a great day, we will try and have a drink or two for you.
