Fun cache thank you

Still here. Thanks for the cache

Over for a conference i got brought here and was dropped off to be picked up a few hours later.. TFTC along the way.

Out with sammiiej getting the second half of this series, great day for it. Tftc

Here to finish off this series this morning with MitchDem, lovely brisk morning for a walk through the bush, nice easy find, TFTC

Beautiful day for a walk and a few caches. Tftf

This cache was home for a baby scorpion which I was not expecting. TFTC

Tftc. Lovely day for a bush bashing in this lovely area.

Out and about today hoping to clear up most of this series. All caches are found ok, however some are getting rather brittle. TFTC

A previous log helped. Coordinates were bouncing.

Just dipped into the bush to see if it would be rideable in winter, and by jove I think it will be fine, so we shall return for the full set. Needed to read the previous logs here to get a handle on the hide. TFTC AP.

Found a fish cache and a real centipede. TFTC

Tricky find... But well placed

Yay tftc.

Second last one thanks

Finally found it, rocky place!

Tftc

I’m out of water ha ha 10:03 4th find for the day

Headed out for a days caching behind the suburbs of Kelmscott and Armadale to cleanup a bunch of caches that have been on the map for far too long.

Good morning out with a mixture of walking and using the push bike on the flatter surfaces that are around.

Thanks to the COs for their caches in these parts, a great morning, albeit a bit cold. Thanks

Tftc

The GPS struggled with this one but I finally found it about about 10m from the nearby track. Once I found it the GPS settled down an coordinates were very accurate.

Decided to head out early today with the geohound and pick up some caches - was looking for a nice long walk, rather than an urban park hop. Saw this concentration of hides on the map which looked perfect! Plugged them all into the GPS but suspected I wouldn’t get the whole lot in one visit - in the end I managed 13 (and 1 DNF), and I was pleased with that effort Weather warming up nicely and with the breeze it was a lovely walk through the bush here today. As others have noted there’s some isolated fly-tipping but otherwise it was peaceful and picturesque. A few blue tongues spotted basking but thankfully nothing without legs With the exception of the aptly named AP666 all caches were found on today’s trip, most very quickly too A few logs were a little damp (but still usable), and the coords off for a couple of caches too. My start point was AP670 as I parked the car at the corner of Canning Mills & Douglas roads, then looped round picking up caches along the way, before finally heading back to the car via AP668. A little bush bashing required in places but nothing extreme. Thanks for an enjoyable ‘part one’; I’ll be back for the rest soon! TFTC

Out for a lovely walk today, since the weather is really nice. Found all caches, couple a little damp, but we're ok. Tftc.

Nice simple find. Paper was a bit wet even though wrapped in sandwich bag. TFTC wahooooooo!

Not in the obvious spot. Took dinosaur, left dinosaur

I'm not sure what I was thinking when I set off today to do this series, I knew it was going to rain so I had a raincoat, some parts of me remained dry while others squelched as I walked. Most of the caches are in good condition, some have suffered a little cache crawl, but as I found all of the series, it couldn't of been to bad. What a shame people have no regard for nature and dump their rubbish everywhere. The bushland was very peaceful, with quite a lot of wildflowers out. Thankyou for the series and maintaining the caches.

Found on my morning walk with my fathers’ poodle before my daily visit to his nursing home.
Thanks

This series has been on my radar for a couple of years. The planets all aligned today....titanium knee good. Other knee not too bad. Weather perfect.
With a refreshing light breeze. A lovely pleasant walk and all caches found in good order. Dotted a few of our new’ grand daughter ‘ pathtags about. Last of the day. We found them all, except AP667 which we replaced. Have a favourite for a good walk & series TFTC Allied Pranksters

Nicely hidden, TFTC

Brought geo pup Jasper out on a wet winters day for her first ever day of geocaching, this was find number 19 for her TFTC

Tftc

Didn't find it. A good search around with no luck.

We looked in the obvious place but it was no ware to be found

Took longer than expected TFTH

Thank you! Headed out very early in the morning with papillon367 and Photo-play to do this series. We made our way around the area, soon getting an idea of the types of hiding spots for this series, and managed to find all but one.

Teamed up with ullyssia and Photo-Play and started very early this morning to tackle this series before the heat. This was our second stop and it took us a while to find this cache (2 of 26 today). Thank you for the hide and for placing / maintaining the series Allied Pranksters and GeoJake21.

Found it. TFTC Allied Pranksters. Up with the birds before dawn to do the Kanadian Bash series. Teamed up with Ullyssia and papillon367 to try to finish before the heat. Really great walk in this natural bushland. Thanks for bringing us here.

Two years have since passed when I started on this series. Went out late arvo and picked up another couple.

Found it

Full log on AP 653. Thanks for the cache, a lovely little series, great to do with the kids.

thanks..

Tftc with geowife and in the rain!

Found this with geowife Alikat66! tftf

Nice hide, TFTC!

Woohoo 600th find

Decided to give this series a bash after finishing work early today. Didn't get to hunt for all the series but did end up with 18 finds and 3 dnfs, so not a bad afternoons work.

Took a few minutes, like most of the caches but eventually located it. TFTC.

Took me a while until I spotted the revised coordinates. TFTC

Tftc. SL. Megawat60 found this one.

Out with m4yb, Me&B and monf for a day of Kanadian Bash, well most of it. Was a bit weary of the weather but it was a great day for caching. Not too hot and not too cold, beautiful flowers starting to show and no creepy crawlies. Sadly a lot of what humans are good at and dumping rubbish.

Thanks for the series GeoJake21

A very pleasant day in this bit of bushland with Me&B, monf and megawat60.
We took turns at making the finds, and took our time admiring the spring wildflowers. Tried to ignore the rubbish in some places.
TFTC GeoJake21!

Out and about with monf, m4yb and megawat60 today. What a beautiful time of the year to do this series, the whole area is covered in wildflowers.

TFTC

Nice

Great morning for a walk through the bush. Nothing like a bit a fresh air. Most of the tracks were easy to follow but some went left when I thought they would go right and so I just went straight through the bush.

It's been 2 or 3 months since a lot of these had been found and the large amount of leaf litter made for quite a bit of searching. I found all but one which looks like it's caused problems for others too. Only 3 of them were where I first looked.
I thoroughly enjoyed this series. Thanks Allied. Sorry about the generic logs.

Out for a cache ride, that turned out to being alot shorter that I wanted, but at least I found one before heading back to the car! Thanks AP!!

Tftc

3rd find for the morning, thanks!

Besides the terrible rubbish dumped in here the bee hives have Australian Bees in them. They do have guard bees if you get within 10m of them otherwise they will leave you alone. If you fear bees they can sense your fear and may attack. Just leave them alone and look for the cache.

☺

Another confidence booster. Beware the bee hives they were in the western area now they are here.Thought it was just more junk until I got closer . They were so numerous i had to divert to another cache instead of the closest following the path. Thanks Allied Pranksters

This afternoon I came out to hunt the Kanadian Bash series. I've been looking at this series for a long time, and today I had a good amount of time, and decided to go for it. In total it took me around 3 hours to find all of the caches, and I went through 2 sets of rechargeable batteries and 1 set of heavy duty batteries in my GPS, and had to use my iPhone to find the last 2 caches. I was really happy to be able to find all of the caches, although some took a little bit longer than others.

I managed to find this one without looking at the other logs or alternate coords, although I did find some of the caches to be up to 9m out, but the GPS was jumping around quite a lot in some areas.

Thanks for the cache and the series Allied Pranksters!

Tftc

A quick find after following the track in. DNF'd a GA cache nearby on the way in but found this one. The cache was found several meters away (I used Fernio's coordinates ). SL, No swaps. Thanks to Allied Pranksters for the cache.

Found it eventually but I make it S32.05.562 E116.03.727

After the rain died down, I headed to finish off parts of this series on my bike.
Most were easy finds.

Allied Pranksters - jinta29 found your cache AP 669 Kanadian Bash on 2014-09-12 at 9:01 am. This is find #2098 for us! TFTC and thanks for bringing us here.
Headed straight for this one after leaving the track I like that!!

Out today with geobuddy Mark, with this series on our hit list. Had a fantastic day - beautiful weather, a few wildflowers, great company, and lots of caches. And only picked up one hitchhider (roo tick). What more could a girl ask for? Sorry about the generic logs, but loved the series. Thanks Allied Pranksters

Killing some boredom with the kids. Had a bit of trouble with this one. The GPS was all over the place so I am sure there somewhere.

Dropped geo-hubby and Mr iluvtrekking off to do this series around 9.30am. It was freezing cold and didn't improve all day. All caches found with only one requiring extra time to suss out. Tricky. Thanks AP for the series.

[font=Comic Sans MS]We looked, we logged, we left![font=Verdana]
We dropped the boys off to tackled this series while Mrs richlink and I headed off to do the Cascades and some others in the area while they were away. They found most caches quickly enough although a few required them to widen their search zone, all caches were found in good order.
Thanks Allied Pranksters.

In the area with AlliedOz to continue with this series heading through on our geobikes again TFTC!!! Awesome fun on the bikes do recommend!!!! Little experience required.

Once again with the kids in school and the wives at work I'm out on the trail with Rokadz to try and knock off this series, we have really enjoyed the area and cache placements so with our caching time today it was a no brainer to head back out this way on such a nice day.

Our second walk through this patch of bush to finish off the Kanadian series. Quick find. TFTC AP's

Last one before it gets dark and again, it is a quick find...TFTC

Went on a nice walk in the sunshine with avreno so decided to start this series.

Decided to go for a walk in the sunshine so started this series
TFTC

So it's Easter and we're not going away! Some time in the hills seems appropriate this weekend and what better way to spend that time but a with a bit of Kanadian Bashing.
We've just grabbed 670 and moved to this one where we had a quick find and signed the log, of course. So now it's off to 671.
TFTC Pranksters.

With weather looking to be perfect for a walk in the bush, we decided to head on up the hill for some Kanadian Bashing Moving along from the last one, we headed off the path to GZ... We must have searched at least 10 other spots before spotting the hidey hole

I came back today for Part II of my visit to this area of bushland. Cool, calm conditions were perfect for a comfortable walk. The roos were up and about early this morning, they seemed to be following me around the park. In general, the caches were fairly tricky to find, but sometimes I got lucky. This one seemed less than obvious and was found only through sheer persistence and a systematic search. TFTC Allied Pranksters

Quick find here signed log and on our way before rain comes, nice easy walking.Thanks Allied Pranksters

With three of us searching (four if you count MDV's soul searching ) this cache didn't stand a chance. Thanks for the cache.

Out and about with K.B. and MickeyDV. As it was going to be not too hot today we planned this walk through the Gosnells Regional Open Space. It was a decent walk of about 10 km through bushland without seeing any dangerous animals and we found all caches.

Thanks for the nice morning adventure K and M and the good walk and as well Allied Pranksters for this nice series.

Best regards from Germany.
MTKEus

A lovely area for a bushwalk with K.B. and M & K of MTKEus. Thanks for setting this trail of caches Allied Pranksters.

Headed out for a much needed 'caching fix' with the intention of finishing off this great series and clearing up the two DNF we had from the first part of the series. No DNF's for us today but we were too tired to clear up our DNF's from the last visit so they will have to wait for another day.

Had a great morning marred only by the amount of rubbish dumped in the area, such a shame.

Great hides Allied Pranksters a favourite point for the series!

Bush-walking again to clear the Kanadian series. 36 degrees, perfect caching weather, camelbak filled with cold water and off I went. Most caches were easy to find, but some were a bit tricky a bit further away from the "obvious" spots. Thanks for the series, it kept me busy for a couple of hours.

My mission today to complete the Kanadian Bash series was accomplished without incident. After tidying a couple of loose ends on Brockway Road, I parked on Chevin Road near Peet Road to do AP 660 and the 14 caches further west than the Peet Road intersection.

More bush-bashing on the way to this one and then, I think quickly found ... back on track for the next one.

Signed the log. Thanks for the hide Allied Pranksters.

Made an assault on this series today, I had previously found 6 on two separate trips while working, and wanted to see if I could finish the rest off in one hit. Parked the GeoTriton near AP 657 and headed into the bush.

Ended up walking about 6k's over three and half hours, a couple were quite tricky. It was fairly easy going if I stayed on the tracks, but a bit of bush bashing was required from time to time.

I was able to search for 14, got them all except for one annoying DNF. I'll come back for the rest another day.

Thanks Allied Pranksters, I'm thoroughly enjoying the series.

This one was a pretty quick find

SLTFTC

BRILLIANT. What else can I say. I loved this little series, but then maybe that's just sentimentality taking hold as this patch of bush is where i spent a lot of time playing and riding my bike when i was growing up. Even though its well over twenty years since I've spent much time in the area nothing much had changed except for the large track cleared along the powerlines at the western end of the reserve. All the tracks were was I remembered, maybe just less rubbish and fewer dumped cars. I set off just before 6 to avoid the heat of the day and found the final cache exactly 3 hours later. I'd planned a route of about 7km as the crow flies but ended up doing about 9.5km. Nice easy walking all the way round, even through the bush. Coords for all caches seemed good and all hides where in obvious, although sometimes tricky to find. I found that once i got a feel or the vibe for where the caches would be hidden I was finding them quite quickly. The only one to give me any trouble was AP671 where it looked like a mob of feral pigs had been through judging by the amount of disturbance in the area. This was a bit disappointing to see given the relatively few number of cachers that have visited the cache. In the end the cache was in an obvious (it always is once you know where) spot I'd missed on my first pass. Thanks Allied Pranksters for a great series.

We were sitting in the spa last night when we got a call from Grumpybump asking if we would like to team up and go caching ,The geowife said I'm busy you go so who am I to pass up an opportunity ...... I called Grumpybump back and said would love to go and knock over the AP Kanadian bash ,,so a early start was planned and the meeting place ..... We managed to complete the whole series in 5 hours and I can say some were quick finds and some were in very nasty hides....... We did a lot of walking along some good tracks and where we needed to bush bash it was easy going so all in all great company and a good hike TFTC and the series and fav point your way for the effort put in to set this one up....

This one was a quick find......

[:(!] I sent a email to Ooh Yeh and asked them would they like to team for an early morning caching run to do this series, I got a reply in the affirmative and arrangements were made, starting at AP678-Kanadian Bash at 5am, we parked the geovehicles as close as possible and we walked the circuit which took us about five hours to complete, most were easy finds and one was very nasty, the tracks were easy walking with a bit of bush bashing as well, the company was great.

Early start with Branzy12, tackling the Kanadian Series. We started here to see if we can complete the series, unfortunately we were unable to find 5 in the series. This is one that we struggle to locate..Will be back to have another look..TFTH

Teamed up with JacobsCrew today to tackle the recently published Kanadian series by AP and tackle some of the other caches around the area. Sadly, this cache was one of five DNF's for the day. We had a final count of 32 finds. Thanks.

(chwiliwr team catch up log)

We came back this afternoon after Chwiliwr left his volunteer work and having lunch. Parked nearby for the three in this area and walked a triangle.

Another quick find and onto the third cache for this part of the walk.

Thanks Allied Pranksters for the cache.
